Time2Eat

Food on campus, made easy. 

The Time2Eat app is Northumbria University's convenient way to order food and drink across campus. Whether you're grabbing a coffee before a lecture, ordering lunch between seminars or arranging food delivery to selected university accommodation and collection points, Time2Eat makes it quick and easy to get the food you want, when you want it. Students can browse menus, order ahead, choose click & collect or delivery options, and skip the queues during busy periods, giving them more time to focus on studying, socialising and making the most of university life.

Students can also take advantage of the Northumbria Food Wallet, a simple way to budget for food throughout the academic year. By pre-loading credit onto your account, you'll always have funds ready to spend across participating campus food outlets. Food Wallet packages offer additional value compared to the amount paid, helping students save money while enjoying a wide range of food and drink options across campus. Once activated, credit appears in your Time2Eat e-wallet and can be used for everything from a quick breakfast and coffee to lunch, dinner and snacks on the go.
