Food and drink in Founder's

Founder's Building is home to two venues:

Crosslands

Crosslands is a stylish bar near the main Visitors’ Centre. It’s named after the architect William Henry Crossland, who designed the Founder's Building. In the morning, you can enjoy porridge, cereal, pastries and bacon rolls. Hot drinks are served all day and hot food from lunchtime, including soups, salads, jacket potatoes and sandwiches. In the evening, Crosslands transforms into a fun and relaxed student bar serving pizza, cocktails, soft drinks and draught and bottled drinks. With a pool table, selection of board games and a book swap scheme, there’s plenty to enjoy.

Founder's Dining Hall

Founder's has been serving student meals since 1886 and you can still dine in Victorian splendour today. The dining hall offers a discount for all catered and self-catered students using their student ID card to pay.

There is a wide variety including healthy options and world cuisine for lunch and dinner.
