Catered Accommodation

Any student staying in the following college accommodation can sign up for catered accommodation:

• Cartmel en-suite rooms
• Lonsdale en-suite rooms
• Bowland en-suite rooms
• County en-suite rooms

There are four outlets currently serving catered accommodation:

• The Marketplace which serves a variety of cooked and continental breakfasts plus 3 hot meals per day at lunch and in the evening. County and Bowland students predominantly eat here and we recommend eating here for the majority of the time for a healthy, nutritional balanced diet
• Barker House Farm serves a variety of cooked and continental breakfasts plus a full bar menu with pizzas, burgers, salads, sandwiches and pasta, as well as students on the scheme being able to help themselves to the salad bar during their meal. Lonsdale and Cartmel students predominantly eat here. There are also two specials which change daily, one meat and one vegetarian which we recommend eating several times a week for a healthy nutritional balanced diet
• The Deli is in the heart of campus and serves a range of breakfasts from eggs benedict to poached eggs and avocado on toast, pancakes with streaky bacon and maple syrup and French toast. Lunch and dinners range from duck flatbreads to loaded mac and cheese and fresh stews prepared on site
• Fylde bar is the campus sports bar and is where students go to treat themselves every now and then. Fried chicken, burgers, loaded nachos and fries are all on the menu.

All opening times can be found on our page at Eat.

It is convenient and flexible, being within easy walking distances from all relevant college social areas. It provides tasty local and healthy foods every single day. It provides an alternative to the worry of having to manage budgeting. Several of our units have benefited from significant investment, making them great places to eat, meet and socialise. Catered accommodation is a great solution for someone with a busy lifestyle and most importantly, there's no burnt food or washing up!
