EnglishWhat Food, Drink, Shops, and Services Are Available at Keele SU?
Updated
Keele SU runs a mix of food and drink venues, a convenience store, and bookable services for students and, in some cases, the wider public. The main food and drink options named on the site are The Clubhouse, Dirty Dipz, and the Keele SU Co-op, while the services side covers a Booking Hub, Keele Print House, minibus bookings, and an online shop. Below is what each one is for and how to use it.
Food and Drink Venues
The Clubhouse
The Clubhouse is described as a space for everyone, offering "great food, a relaxed atmosphere and a space to catch up with friends." It also hosts recurring events, including a weekly Curry Club with "plenty of options & pints," a Postgraduate Pizza Party, and a Big Pub Quiz & Karaoke. If you want a sit-down meal or a social evening on campus, this is the main venue to check first.
Dirty Dipz
Dirty Dipz is positioned as a student-friendly food outlet, serving:
- Crispy tenders
- Loaded fries
- Thick shakes
- A range of dips
The site calls it "the go-to destination for student-friendly meal deals," so it suits a quick, filling meal rather than a formal sit-down.
Keele SU Co-op
The Co-op on site covers everyday essentials, quick meals, bakery treats, and hot drinks. It is the practical option for groceries, a snack between lectures, or a coffee rather than a full meal.
Events with Food and Drink
Keele SU also runs food-linked events that are open beyond the student body in some cases. Examples from the events listing include:
| Event | Time | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Keele Community Market | Weekly, Tuesdays 10am–4pm | Keele SU and the Forest of Lights |
| Clubhouse Curry Club | Weekly, 5pm–8pm | The Clubhouse |
| PG Pizza Party | 5pm–7pm | The Clubhouse |
| Big Pub Quiz & Karaoke | 7pm–1am | The Clubhouse |
The site notes that public events and gigs are "open to everyone," so you do not always need to be a student to attend.
Shops and Services
Keele SU lists the following under Shops and Services:
- Booking Hub – the central place to book SU spaces and services.
- Keele Print House – printing services.
- Minibus Bookings – hire of SU minibuses.
- Online Shop – merchandise and other items sold online.
- Student Discounts – discount offers for students.
The site also references a basket and account system, which indicates the online shop and some bookings run through a logged-in account. The pages do not state prices or whether login is required for every service, so check the individual service page before you rely on it.
How to Use These Services
- For food and drink: go directly to The Clubhouse, Dirty Dipz, or the Co-op during their opening hours. For event-based food (Curry Club, Pizza Party), check the events listing for the date and venue.
- For bookings (rooms, minibus): start at the Booking Hub, then follow the specific service page.
- For printing: use the Keele Print House service page.
- For shopping: use the Online Shop; you may need to log in or create an account, since the site shows a basket and My Account links.
- For discounts: check the Student Discounts page.
What to Check Before You Go
- Opening hours are not given in the source material, so confirm them on the relevant venue page.
- Prices and payment methods are not stated, so do not assume anything is free.
- Access varies: some events are open to everyone, while others may be student-focused. The site explicitly says public events and gigs are open to all.
- Login requirements for bookings and the online shop are not fully specified; the presence of a basket and account area suggests an account may be needed for purchases.
If you are a new student, the site also points to ASK's advice for new students and the clubs, societies, and volunteering pages as starting points alongside the food and retail options.
