Coffee-Dessert

With hundreds of exhibitors, reams of entertainment and an opportunity on every corner, you might worry about running low on energy at this year’s Freshers’ Festival. But there’s no need, because we’ve got dozens of food and drinks stalls lined up to keep you fed and watered.

Food firms like takeaway titans Just Eat are one of many who will be on hand to fill your bellies. But if you don’t fancy anything too heavy, try tasters from one or two of our healthier brands. Yo! Sushi’s fast and friendly Japanese cuisine is always a winner.

Need a snack? Visit one of Scotland’s best-known brands: Mackies. Not only are they purveyors of finely flavoured crisps, they also produce one of the creamiest ice creams around. Although the creations of West End legend Crolla’s Gelateria give them a run for their money. So why not visit both, just for a fair comparison of course!

When your attentions turn toward the practical matter of feeding yourself at home, you’ll want to visit the Food Standards Agency. As well as helping you to feed yourself safely on budget, they’re offering prizes and limited edition soup packs to everyone who takes part in their food safety quiz. So even if you’re confident in your culinary skills, you’ll at least leave with a free meal.

Once you’re ready to wet your whistle, head on over to our watering hole. It’s saturated with satisfying beverages, delivered by some of the biggest brands and best bars in town. Halewood, the people behind Lambrini, Crabbie’s, Tsingtao and many more of your favourite fluids, are itching to give you a taste of their latest creations; as are Stivy’s. ICB Brands, El Barrio and many, many more.

Once you’ve experimented enough, or when you think you’ve mixed more than enough drinks, you can swing by the bar to drink your fill of your new favourite tipple.

We’re not all about the alcohol of course, and those of you who want to keep a clear head should check out SUPER!NATURAL, Scotland’s own, all-natural energy drink. Just a quick taste of their free samples and we guarantee you won’t be hooked: because it’s got no nasty chemicals or addictive substances, just healthy goodies that will keep you coming back because you want to, not because you need to avoid the next sugar crash.

And remember, you don’t need to hold back on the freebies. There’s plenty of health and fitness fanatics here too: so you can pay back your belly debt at Pure Gyms later.
