Serving up sustainable food options

This is in line with Lincoln's comprehensive Sustainability Plan, which outlines its vision to be an exemplar of sustainable practices for the land-based sector. Part of that involves demonstrating sustainability in the university's campus operations and promoting the importance of the 17 United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. 

Lincoln's on-site cafes are open to students, staff and the public, and there is also a student dining hall, with a catering service available for events. 

All campus cafes and dining facilities:

• Are certified palm oil free
• Use free range eggs
• Serve potatoes organically grown on-site by the Biological Husbandry Unit and supplied with zero packaging and low travel miles
• Use herbs grown on campus by the catering department
• Use campus-made yogurt to avoid plastic packaging
• Offer affordable meals for students. 

Meals for students

Meals in the student dining hall are provided to residents as part of our accommodation package. Students not living on campus can buy discounted meal tickets for buffet-style dining.

The Lincoln University Catering team meet with student residents at the start of each term to identify dietary requirements and can cater for many different requirements including gluten free, vegan, dairy free and halal.

Vegetarian options are included for all meals.
