Feeling Hungry?

Lancaster has a lot going for it considering it is quite small in size and stature when compared to other university cities. One of the best things about our choice of location for our luxury Lancaster student apartments is that it leaves you a really short distance away from some of the finest food choices around. There is always plenty to see and do in Lancaster, and you want to be sure that you are well fed and ready for a hard day of study ahead, or ready for a night out in town. We’ve looked at a few of the options that could send your tastebuds wild in anticipation.

Big Brand Names

We all like the comfort and speed of fast food at times, or a chain restaurant that we’ve been going to with our family since we were kids. In Lancaster you’ll find that there is a whole host of the food chains and restaurants that you know and love, helping you to settle into your new home. There are the golden arches of McDonalds, KFC, a GO Burrito, Costa, as well as a Bella Italia for your pizza and pasta fix.

Koko (Common Garden St)

If you are looking for something a little bit different without breaking the bank, Koko is the perfect place to start. Close to your luxury student apartment in Lancaster, this Common Garden Street restaurant offers fusion Hawaiian and Japanese cuisine for a good price. Expect to choose from a large and exciting menu that is filling and relatively healthy. The Pokè bowl is incredible, where you create your own meal by adding rice, fish, sauces, and any vegetable you like. You can even get takeaway.

Nami Sushi (China St)

Nami Sushi is a great place to try sushi for the first time, or to get your fix on if you’re already a big fan. The unpretentious surroundings make it an easy place to fall in love with, sitting next to the sushi conveyor belt and spending an hour or two with friends, sharing and talking, or picking up a quick bite to eat after a hard day of study at university.

Wallings (Alexandra Square)

During the warmer spring and summer months, when exams are gearing up and the stress might be starting to get to you, there are few better things in life than treating yourself to a delicious ice cream. Wallings is the best ice cream in the city, and they have a seller on Alexandra Square when the weather gets warmer – providing you with the perfect excuse to take a break from your work for a bit!

The Merchants 1688

You should never miss out the Merchants 1688 from any list of Lancaster. Whether you are visiting for one day, or living here, it is a glorious place to go for food. This would be a brilliant place to take your parents when they are visiting, or if you are trying to impress someone. The converted wine merchants and cellars is over 300 years old and serves hearty, traditional pub food to a high standard, and is close to Lancaster Castle gates, close to the railway station. The main entrance leads you into what is an underground restaurant, with inviting cellars and tunnels, and fantastic food.

Remember to always keep an eye out for student deals, 2-4-1 promotions, and other discounts throughout the city. As a student in Lancaster you’ll be pleased to know there are plenty of chains and pubs serving up grub at a decent, student-friendly price. It’s just a case of finding out what you like and where to go. We hope this has been a good help in starting.
