As part of our initiatives to help you with the rising cost of living, learn more about our £3.50 Meal Deals available at our Canterbury campus.

Rutherford Meal Deal

Head to Rutherford Dining Hall for the popular £3.50 Meal Deal. There are two dishes to choose from every day, including a plant-based option. The hot Rutherford Meal Deal is available every day of the week, 12:00-14:00 for lunch and 17:00-21:00 for dinner.

This term, we’ve seen new dishes including Sweet Potato Chilli, Cauliflower Cheese Lasagne, and Tandoori Sweet Potato with Lemon Pilau Rice. These additions will join popular favourites such as Katsu Curry, Tortellini, and the ever-classic Sausage and Mash.

The meal deal offers vegetarian and vegan options, and Halal sourced meat is used wherever possible. See the weekly menu.

100,000 cost of living hot meals

On Tuesday 24 September, Rutherford Dining Hall served its 100,000th cost of living hot meal since its launch in November 2022!

The lucky recipient of this milestone meal was Danylo Stepaniuk, a foundation economics student from Ukraine. Danylo, who regularly eats at Rutherford Dining Hall, shared that he prefers dining there because of the £3.50 meals. His favourite dish is the four cheese tortellini, which he always has with vegetables or salad.
