Hillside Food Court — Restaurant in Guildford

The restaurant, situated in the heart of the main food court of this prominent university, certainly shines when it comes to friendly staff and the quality of its food. Their warmth and service make it an inviting place for students and faculty alike.

However, considering the size and reputation of the university, I expected a wider variety of dishes on their menu. While they occasionally surprise with standout dishes, like their flavorful roasted chicken that resonates with many, there is a clear room for diversification.

The sandwich section, which is often a focal point in many campus eateries, seemed a bit underwhelming here. The choices of breads and toppings, crucial to any good sandwich, were quite limited. It's noteworthy that in most places, especially within academic settings, the sandwich section tends to be one of the most frequented. Given its potential, I believe there's a significant opportunity for them to elevate this section.

To truly tap into the tastes and preferences of the diverse student body, it might be beneficial for the management to take a field trip to other university food courts. Drawing inspiration from these places could provide valuable insights into what students truly desire in their ideal sandwich. By doing so, they can not only enhance the overall dining experience but also cement their place as a go-to spot on campus.

Overall, its...

Honestly it’s terrible. The food is very expensive considering it’s aimed at students and the quality is inconsistent and often poor. Last week I spent ~£3 on a wrap which had less than a handful of lettuce and 2 pieces of chicken in it (mostly just wrap). They did add more when I complained but this seems endemic of the food unless you’re...
