Vegan Food
There is now vegan food, from Oneworld Restaurant, being served at Walters Cafe. It is being trialled on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Please head down and show your support to ensure that the trial is successful. Over the study break there will not be Oneworld cuisine served, also Walters closes over the break so maybe that’s a fantastic opportunity to check out the Oneworld Restaurant for yourselves? ;)
