Blend
Just grab & go when you need lunch on the run.
Located in the main Campus Kitchen restaurant building on level 0 between the Arts building and the Library.
Blend is my go-to for a quick snack between lectures, the curly fries and mozzarella sticks are my personal favourite.
Bob Champion
A breakfast and lunch spot for UEA and NHS staff.
Located in the main entrance foyer of the Bob Champion Research & Education Building.
Welcoming and modern. There are lots of lovely sweet and savoury snacks, as well as hot drinks. The lemon and poppy seed muffin is particularly good. It’s a great place to study if you want a break from the library.
SU Shop
A supermarket for all your essentials, with a Fairtrade and ethical spin.
The Street, just off The Square, University of East Anglia.
The SU Shop is really handy for picking up bits for cooking, as well as snacks for the library.
Sportspark
Making sports and fitness fun and accessible, whatever your fitness level.
Located off University Drive on campus.
I regularly use the sports halls for training and social club sessions. I really enjoy having access to the pool, the facilities are amazing and it’s a really nice way to exercise with friends.
UEA Sport
Join UEA’s sporting community to be active and make friends.
Multiple locations on campus.
There are so many ways to get involved in sport at UEA, whether you’re a complete beginner or want to play competitively. Being involved in sport is such an important part of my university experience. I’ve made friends for life.
Georgian Townhouse
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city in this Georgian-styled pub.
30-34 Unthank Road, Norwich, NR2 2RB.
As a vegetarian I can sometimes struggle to find variety when I eat out, however, the menu at Georgian Townhouse always has so many lovely options that regularly change.
Cuba Revolution
Swing by for Latin-inspired cuisine, cocktails and live music.
7-9 Queen Street, Norwich, NR2 4TL.
Cuba Revolution has a really fun atmosphere, especially on a Friday night. It serves some really nice cocktails and it’s great for dancing.
