Save your pennies: The best food places in Notts with a student discount

Freshers’ Week has been and gone, and nowhere does it quite like Notts. For many students your student loans will have been spent on eye-watering amounts of booze, club wristbands that will get forgotten about as soon as someone mentions Ocean, and tram fines. However, the temptation to go out for food rather than cook never goes away, and that can be expensive after such a busy start.

Fortunately, Nottingham is home to a large variety of places, with something for everyone. Many of these places offer student discount, meaning that you can enjoy great food and drinks without breaking the bank. Here are some of the best food places in Notts offering you that exclusive discount:

Yo! Sushi – 20 per cent off

Located by the Lace Market tram stop, Yo! Sushi offers students 20 per cent off the bill Monday through Friday. Just create a UniDays account and enter the code when you want to pay.
