Where to Eat

Your Guide to Where to Eat

Welcome to Nelson & Colne College! We know that studying hard (and playing harder) requires proper fuel to keep you going. That’s why we’ve made sure there are plenty of delicious and convenient dining options right here on campus. Whether you’re grabbing breakfast before class, a snack between study sessions, or lunch with friends, we’ve got something for everyone to tuck into.

Here’s what to look forward to when it’s time to refuel

The Refectory

Our recently upgraded Refectory is the go-to hub for all your food cravings. Offering a variety of hot meals, grab-and-go snacks, and refreshing drinks, it’s perfect for a hearty lunch or a quick bite before lectures. Think of it as your second kitchen (but with some lovely professional chefs). With veggie, vegan, Halal and gluten-free options, there’s always something tasty and inclusive on the menu!

Don’t miss: The rotating specials, perfect if you like to mix up your lunch routine!

The Student Café

Looking for somewhere to sit back, relax, and enjoy a lighter snack? The student café is the ideal spot to grab a fresh pastry, coffee, or sandwich while you catch up with friends or cram for a test. The cosy vibes make it a great place to meet up, unwind, or enjoy some downtime.

Pro tip: Try our lattes – they’re totally Insta-worthy.

Vending Machines for the Win

We get it – deadlines and schedules can get hectic! For those “on-the-go” moments, our vending machines are stocked with drinks, crisps, chocolate bars, and other snacks to give you a quick energy boost whenever you need.

Free Fruit & Breakfast

Did someone say FREE? Yes, we did! All students can grab free fruit to keep healthy and energised. Plus, we offer free breakfasts to help you kickstart your day the right way. Because learning is easier when you’re not hungry!

When? Monday to Friday mornings

Where? NCC Refectory

Bringing Your Own? No Problem!

Prefer a packed lunch or your homemade favourites? You’re welcome to bring your own food and use the dining facilities to eat comfortably. Plus, there are plenty of seated spaces where you can catch up with your classmates while you dine.

Why We Think You’ll Love It Here

It’s not just about food – we’ve worked hard to create a communal space where you can connect with others, feel at home, and take a break from the buzz of college life. With vibrant spaces, options to suit every taste, and prices that won’t break the bank, dining at NCC is yet another way we aim to make your college experience extraordinary.
