Campus Services is hosting a new, authentic pop up menu in lime tree starting 27 October.

The Hospitality team has been working with the African and Caribbean Society (ACS), to bring you a tasty menu of African Caribbean cuisine.

Students from ACS have worked with chefs to bring regional staples and specialities to lime tree based on their own personal and family recipes.

The menu will include:

  • Jollof rice with chicken (H)
  • Jollof spaghetti (VE)
  • Pounded yam with Efo Riro
  • Beef stew with rice and peas (H)
  • Tomato stew with rice and peas (VE)
  • Egg stew with yam (V)
  • Fried plantain (VE)
  • Boiled yam (VE)

The menu is available at the global plate counter for:

  • Lunch, 12 noon to 2pm, from 27 to 31 October
  • Dinner, 5.30pm to 7.30pm, on 27 and 29 October

The menu was chosen by the ACS committee, based on dishes they cook at home and have significant meaning to them. The students are excited to share the food with the wider University community, working closely with the chefs in lime tree to ensure the right ingredients and methods are used, and showing them how it should look and taste.
