Serving traditional, home-cooked meals with hearty portions and plenty of choice, it’s the perfect spot to refuel and relax. Our menu changes daily, so there’s always something new, nutritious, and delicious to enjoy.
At Rutherford Dining Hall, you’ll find our Savour Range, tasty, filling meals designed to support the cost of living without compromising on quality.
Every day, Monday - Sunday, we offer two freshly prepared dishes for you to choose from. Start with a great-value base meal for just £3.50, then customise it your way with extra protein, vegetables, or sides to suit your appetite.
Delicious, affordable, and customisable – it’s food that fits both your budget and your day.
If you’re after something quick, our Grab & Go range has you covered with sandwich meal deals, pasta pots, overnight oats, salads, fruit, snacks, and sweet treats.
At Rutherford, there’s always something tasty, affordable, and satisfying waiting for you.
As well as the Savour Range, Rutherford Dining Hall offers the chance to mix it up with our global street-food inspired offers:
Following the Beans Campaign cooking demo, the Mixed Bean & Vegetable Hotpot was voted the favourite dish by attendees and it's now officially on the menu.
The Hotpot has been added as the vegan option on the Savour Range and will be available every Wednesday from 1 April 2026 at Rutherford Dining Hall.
Affordable, filling and completely plant-based. Come and try the dish you helped put on the menu.
