Student experience

High Wycombe and Uxbridge offer the hungry student a wide and diverse range of places to eat, from the usual fast food chains to something a little more up-market (perhaps when someone else is paying!) We asked our students to pick a selection of their favourites and here are the pubs and restaurants that get their vote. Of course, tastes do vary but one thing’s for sure - you won’t have difficulty finding something that suits your budget.
