Visions on Campus Restaurant

Visions on Campus is a fully licensed restaurant located at our City campus. We offer a relaxed dining experience in a truly unique setting.

The restaurant is used for teaching and training by students from our Chef training and Front of House and Management programmes. Students are involved in all aspects of your dining experience, from preparing your meal, serving you and managing the running of the restaurant.

It is an ideal location for dining with family, friends or colleagues, a special occasion, hosting corporate or private functions or for mini trade shows with 150 guest capacity.

We have a changing seasonal menu based on learning and teaching requirements but can cater for specific dietary needs.

Visions on Campus is also available for private functions and venue hire.

Menu

Our menus are developed to support our students learning and to offer a selection to tempt the palate of our diners. Menus may change throughout the year based on seasons and teaching requirements.

We offer a range of dishes including vegetarian options and you can accompany this with a drink from our substantial wine and beverage list.

If you are hosting a function, we can work with you to design a menu specifically for your event.

Functions and events

Visions on Campus is available as a venue for corporate or private functions. We’ll work with you to make your event special for your guests. We can provide support for conference and presentation gathers, with built-in audio-visual equipment, and we also have space for live entertainment and a dance floor area.
