Limited food options

Submitted 3 years ago by Ehimwenma Oghenegborhe

I would like to suggest that the following food options be included in the food menu to allow for an inclusive student environment in the restaurants within the City South Campus (Seacole building) and City Centre campus for individuals from black and ethnic minorities backgrounds. This is due to the limited food options we have when visiting campus especially when we have long lecture days or need to study for long hours. I want to also kindly ask that they should also be made Halal or that this option be available in the meals requested below. Vegetable fried rice and chicken Rice and peas Jerk chicken Fried or grilled chicken wings Fried Plantain Spicy Chicken Tikka Toastie Thank you.

Deena Baskin-Atkinson: 10:55am on 17 Dec 21 This Idea has reached 16 votes and will be passed to your Executive Officer team. Because of the winter holiday, they will pick this up and vote on it in January.
Ehimwenma Oghenegborhe: 11:29am on 17 Dec 21 Thank you
Helena Miranda Lopes Correia: 6:22pm on 18 Jan 22 I hope this idea gets the attention it needs! Agreed! Actually I would add onto this: Why isn't there a proper canteen - one (or several) organized canteens with several meals and prices for students? There should be such a place. Meal prices are over what they should for students.
Jade Langton: 12:03pm on 14 Jun 23 The Students’ Union Officers have met with Catering Managers from different campuses as well as attended a catering tender with BCU. BCU has Approved the new catering tender with Baxterstorey. They will be bringing new changes to the food menu and facilities across all the campuses
