Mealtimes just got a whole lot more exciting! Some of your favourite campus restaurants have introduced brand-new dishes, and they’re seriously worth checking out. Whether you’re after a spicy kick, a stacked burger, or the ultimate wings experience, there’s something fresh on the menu for you.
Bringing the Heat with Jerk Chicken
Dolche Vita is already known for switching up its menu regularly, and the latest addition is one to get excited about. The Jerk Chicken features a spicy quarter of chicken served with rice and peas, creamy coleslaw, and golden fried plantain. A fresh chilli garnish and a wedge of lime bring everything together for that ultimate Caribbean flavour. It’s available Monday to Friday, 11.30 – 15.30, so make sure you swing by for a taste.
Breakfast Burgers and Mega Stacks
Mungo’s is stepping up its burger game in a big way. If you’re into a solid breakfast, the new Breakfast Burger is exactly what you need – a juicy beef patty topped with crispy bacon, a fried egg, and mini hash browns, all packed into a soft glazed bun. Prefer a veggie option? The Veggie Breakfast Burger swaps in a plant-based patty with double cheese, a fried egg, and those same crispy hash browns. You can grab one Monday to Friday, 09.00 – 11.00.
Later in the day, Mungo’s has even more mouth-watering options.
-
The Meatless Megaburger – Two plant-based ‘beef’ patties, double vegan cheese, onion rings, and BBQ sauce, all stacked in a glazed bun and served with skinny fries and extra onion rings.
-
The Korean Chicken – A crispy chicken burger coated in a spicy, sticky Korean-style sauce, loaded with kimchi slaw and fresh lettuce, served with a big side of fries and onion rings.
And let’s talk Smash Burgers – these thin, crispy beef patties are a big deal right now, and Mungo’s has three incredible versions:
-
Classic Cheese Smash – Two premium beef patties, double cheese.
-
Double Bacon Smash – Two patties, double crispy bacon, cheese, and spicy honey.
-
The Triple Smash – Three beef patties, triple cheese, double crispy bacon.
These burgers are available Monday to Friday, 12.00 – 21.00, so there’s plenty of time to grab one.
Plus, if you’ve got a sweet tooth, don’t miss their limited-edition Cadbury Crème Egg Milkshake, available all spring term.
