With the end of the University's Academic year just past and the Summer exams finishing up, the University campus has quietened considerably over the past week. To all those that have finished their time in university, we wish you the best of luck with you futures.

The College Bar will be open for business as usual during the summer, still serving up the finest dinners on campus and great for a pint.

The College Bar is now also taking booking for BBQ Parties. Our riverside location is the ideal venue for long summer evening BBQs. For more details, feel free to contact us.

So, Rag Week's over (...until next year) and you probably have a niggling thought at the back of your mind about doing some proper study. Thankfully, in the run up to exams, the College Bar is open Saturdays afternoons. You can now get lunch at the Sandwich Bar between 12 noon and 4pm.

You can also catch the weekends Rugby and Premier League!
