A New Menu Offer for January 2026
Alongside the new space, Keynes Café & Kitchen will launch with an updated menu including a refreshed hot food offering and enhanced grab-and-go range.
The refurbishment will continue to offer Costa Coffee and an improved bakery and pastry selection.
A new hot food menu featuring Bamboo – our Pan Asian concept featuring build your own curry and donburi bowls. Bamboo brings bold flavours and fresh ingredients to campus, offering both comfort and speed, perfect between lectures or for a quick meal on the go.
So whether you’re stopping in for breakfast, refuelling between study sessions, or enjoying a hot meal with friends, Keynes Café & Kitchen will offer a refreshed space with more choice, more comfort, and an upgraded food experience.
