We're launching the UK's first National Student Food Survey

Nobody talks honestly about what students are actually eating. That's why we've launched the UK Student Food Survey 2026.
April 12, 2026

The UK Student Food Survey is the first dedicated study into what students across the UK are really eating, and what it means for their health and their finances.

What's it about?

The survey covers the stuff that genuinely affects student life: how confident you feel in the kitchen, how much you're spending on food each week, whether cost is shaping what you eat, and whether your university is doing anything useful to help.

Why does it matter?

The results will be used to build a proper, evidence-based case for better food support at universities. Right now, student nutrition is one of those issues that everyone vaguely acknowledges but nobody does much about. We want to change that — and the more students who respond, the harder the findings are to ignore.

What do you get out of it?

Aside from the warm feeling of having contributed to something useful. It takes about three minutes to answer the questions. That's it!
