Create Café at the University of Kent

Please note, Create Café, will be closed for the month of August, from Saturday 1 August. We will update you when Create Café will re-open in September 2026.

While Create Café is closed, colleagues can continue to use the other Canterbury campus outlets over the summer. Please see below link for full details.

Loyalty stamps and hot drink rewards remain valid and can still be redeemed at Gulbenkian Café and Keynes Café & Kitchen during this period.

We look forward to welcoming staff back to Create Café in September.

Any outlet queries can be directed to kentunifood@compass-group.co.uk

New to the menu this year, Create Café offers vegetable salad pots as part of the university’s Right to Food commitment, offering students and staff a healthy, affordable option on campus.

Create Café serves Social Impact Coffee, a purpose-driven coffee brand that donates 65% of its profits to Canterbury Food Bank. In partnership with the University of Kent’s Right to Food initiative, every cup purchased will help support the Canterbury Food Bank and the wider community.

In response to popular demand, jacket potatoes have also returned to the café menu, a much-loved staple that students and staff have been calling for.
