Popular with self-catered students, the Flex Meal Plan is a convenient, cashless way to dine on campus. It doesn’t matter if you live on or off campus, the plan is available to everyone. It’s a flexible way to eat that allows you to concentrate on your studies and enjoy university life - without the hassle of shopping, cooking, and washing up. It allows you to pay for your meals in advance and save up to 40% on food and drink over the course of the year. Students with a Flex Meal Plan receive £14 a day (Monday – Sunday), during term time, to spend in the cafes, restaurants, and bars on campus. The Flex Meal Plan does not include the winter, spring, or summer vacation. Please visit the Meal Plans at Kent website for more information.
Detailed Description
The Flex Meal Plan allowance can be used in any of the 7 participating restaurants, bars, and cafés on campus.
You can spend your £14 daily allowance as and when you like throughout the day, giving you the freedom to eat at times that suit you, around your studies.
