Being a student you learn to make the most out of very little, bulk made lasagna, lots of beans on toast and training your body to live one meal a day. However, when you want to treat yourself, but not go even further into your overdraft, try some of these helpful apps/restaurants where you can get some grub for nothing, or next to. Here are the must have food apps!
This app is literally a gold mine. Essentially when you sign up your given a ‘Drinkis’, a drink, to claim in any participating bar or pub. And whenever you recommend to a friend you get another, and you automatically get another free drink every two weeks. However, the more you recommend, the sooner you get another free drink, if you refer 20 people to sign up, you get a free tipple everday! All you have to do is go on their maps page and it will show you all the closest spots, and the drink which you can get for nothing. It also lets you know any discounts bars are offering, or when new spots are opening!
This is like if TripAdvisor paid, all you have to do is give some feedback about places you go to, literally its a few simple questions, every time you leave a review you receive TippCoins. You can then claim these back in restaurants/cafes/pubs/bars, from free food and drinks, to massive discount.
This was my savior in first year, essentially a load of takeaway places, and a fair few restaurants, advertise their menus on here, so just put in your location and it tells you who will deliver to you. From burgers, to fish n chips, to Chinese and Indian. You get £10 off your first order! And every time you recommend to someone they give you another £10 off!
We live in a world where food is wasted by the tonne, so why download ‘Too Good to Go’ so that you can save the planet and eat well. With prices ranging from as little as £2 to a maximum of £3.80 (and that’s for the second best Japanese restaurant in the country!). Collect your dish in their environmentally -friendly TGTG sugarcane box. Eating never felt so eco.
This is basciallythe same as UberEats but tends to have more chains on it, for example, Wagamama and Gourmet Burger Kitchen. Still has loads of deals, but you don’t get the £10 off your first order.
Once again this is another version of Ubereats and with this one you do get £10 off your first order!
The most famous of the mobile takeaway apps, this is a stable for finding any dish. However, does not offer the first £10 off.
Although not an app, I cannot recommend ‘Mod’ enough, for £7.50 you get a pizza, or salad if you’re a rabbit, with unlimited reign on over 30 toppings! And then for £2 you can have an a free refill on any dispenser drink, this ranges from mango juice to raspberry lemonade to strawberry juice. It’s in the middle of Leicester Square, so you are immersed in the center of London, without the chokable prices.
Once again this is just another helpful takeout app, sharing deals left, right and center. It is a must have food app.
Your student cafe/bar/restaurant will always be offering some form of deal, at mine we have ‘Pound Stretcher’ nights and during exams if you buy a flask from the student shop all your hot drinks are free! Keep updated on these deals through your SU website, your uni app any fairs that are held throughout the year.
