Customer Review Summary
Margherita pizza draws the most comment, repeatedly called overpriced and underwhelming despite one reviewer praising it alongside gnocchi with mushroom cream sauce and chicken calzone. Close behind, the evening hot counter gets criticized for offering just vegan and non-vegan pasta options that taste flavourless or oversalted. One reviewer describes the full English breakfast's eggs and apple juice as artificial tasting, while another notes American visitors sought out McDonald's instead.

“Considering it’s the only food outlet apart from the SU bar open on campus from about 4pm, the choice is a bit sad, and I feel quite bad for anyone in catered accommodation who has this as their only option. Pizzas are sadly very overpriced for what you get. The hot counter offers a couple of different options each night, which are… fine, but mostly a bit flavourless, and often very oversalted. I’m a big fan of the £1.50 affordable options that have been recently introduced, but I’d recommend against the pesto pasta as it’s always been swimming in oil. For lunch it’s pretty good, as well as a lot of other places on campus are - there’s pastries and the salad bar. I just sadly don’t think I can say I’ve ever gone here for dinner and been happy I did so. TL;DR: 2 stars from me - it’s not awful, but the Bath Uni campus needs to do so so much better on the state of its evening food options.”

“Plenty of seats, good atmosphere. Overpriced pizza that tastes underwhelming. Only two options for hot meal (vegan and non vegan pasta) which is disgusting...”
- Amy Zhou
“Full English breakfast (minus black pudding) every morning for £6... but the apple juice tastes like sucralose, the eggs taste like they never had the life potential to become chickens, and the ketchup seems to permanently have sour grapes. …”
