QMU Meal Plans – Flexible, Easy Eating on Campus
QMU Meal Plans are designed to fit around student life—giving you the freedom to eat what you want, when you want, without the hassle of daily budgeting.
About the Meal Plans
Meal Plans are available to all students at Queen Margaret University, whether you’re living on campus or commuting in.
Instead of set meals, you’ll get a weekly spending balance to use across campus:
- Standard Plan: £24 per week (equivalent to around £8 per 3 days)
- Premium Plan: £40 per week (equivalent to around £8 per 5 days)
This means you can choose whatever suits your schedule—whether that’s grabbing something quick between lectures or sitting down for a full meal.
Where You Can Use It
Your balance can be used across all main catering outlets on campus:
- Guthrie's
- Hux
- Maggie's
From street food and hot meals to lighter bites and drinks, there’s plenty of choice throughout the week—including vegan and dietary-friendly options.
Guthrie’s and Hux are open Monday to Friday
Maggie’s is open 7 days a week, so you’ll still have weekend options on campus
What You Can Get
Use your weekly balance however you like:
- Hot meals, street food, or grab-and-go options
- Snacks and lighter bites
- Hot or cold drinks
Menus change regularly, with a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients—so there’s always something new to try.
