The RAM Bar is one of the places at the University Of Exeter where I particularly enjoy eating; and drinking, because, unlike many, who drink beer, I'm better off with fruit juice - especially a mix of two, or even a hybrid drink, e.g. apple/orange or apple/pineapple juice - or even orange/cranberry juice.

In that time, they used to cater with different foods, e.g. beans, rice, lasagne, Bolognese sauce, scampi.

You would jump through hoops and download some half-baked app developed by some college kid for their summer pet project, only to realize you could only choose from the 15 pre-selected bangers from 2000s Billboard Best Elevator Songs.
Do not get wings because they are cheap with their portions. Mostly because they are dry and borderline unfit for consumption.
Great for sporting events if you do not want to mingle with locals (as we all know...
