The University Library Tea Room is situated in the North Wing, and is a great place to meet friends and take a break from your work.

The room is open Monday-Friday from 9am to 6.30pm (9:30pm in full Easter term), and on Saturdays from 9am to 4.20pm. Find term dates on the University's webpage.

The Tea Room serves barista coffee and a daily-changing variety of sandwiches, paninis, snacks and cakes.

On Mondays to Fridays, serving hours are 9am to 3pm.

On Saturdays, serving ends at 2pm.

You are also welcome to bring your own food and drinks to the Tea Room, and to use the space to socialise or work.

You can buy cold drinks and snacks from the vending machine in the Locker Room.

You are welcome to have lidded drinks and bottled water at desks around the library. No food or drinks may be taken into staffed reading rooms. This includes the Main Reading Room and Special Collections Reading Rooms. Food can be consumed only in the Tea Room and in the Library Courtyards; please make sure that food and drinks are covered to prevent spillages if you are carrying them through the library to these areas.
