Cranfield University has a wide range of places to eat. Below are some of the places you may enjoy when you join us at Shrivenham.

Officers’ Mess

All students, including those living off site, are eligible to join the Officers’ Mess for a modest fee. Each mess is a great social experience whether you eat at the self-service dining room offering a varied and delicious menu or you mingle with your friends at the bar, in the TV rooms or snooker room. You can study in quiet areas and you can even do your laundry in the laundry room.

Please be aware that there is a dress code when attending the Officers’ Mess.
