Save with Sizzle on a Shoestring

The £3 hot meal deal you need to know

We know how difficult it can be to juggle student life while keeping track of your bank balance, but just because you’re on a budget doesn’t mean you should miss out on a hot, tasty and filling meal.

What is Sizzle on a Shoestring?

Designed to help you save money while saving the planet, you can get a hot meal for just £3 every Tuesday at Green Shoots Café Garden! All you need to do is bring your own reusable container and student ID card.

Great food, low price, and less waste – it’s a win, win! Here’s how it works:

Where? Green Shoots Café Garden

When? Every Tuesday, from 11am until sold out

How much?

  • £3 if you bring your own reusable container and student ID
  • £3.60 if you forget your student ID
  • +50p if you need a disposable container

Sizzle on a Shoestring is first-come, first-served, and once it’s gone, it’s gone. So, make sure you head down early to grab your meal before it sells out.
