Increase gluten-free, vegan, dairy free (ect) options as well as healthy eating options available with union establishments such as the academy and blends.

This would be very beneficial as the current menus and options are very limiting for people who have specific dietary requirements.

I was just about to post something similar! I don't know if I've just gone at the wrong times of day, but I've noticed that Blends don't have a lot of vegan/non-dairy options. They do have soya milk and all, but it'd be great if they had more options for people who are allergic to certain food groups. I don't know if they have any gluten-free options at all, but that might just be because I haven't been looking.

The meal structure in the main café is very limiting too. Theres no option to swap out sides you cant eat like say Naan for something you can like more veg or salad. It makes most of the meals very poor value for money if you cant eat all of the components.

I definitely advocate that blends has better milk alternatives! Soya is okay (but it doesn't sit well) and Almond milk in coffee is just nasty. Oat all the way!! Or even coconut, rice, hazelnut, cashew, hemp... So many to choose from!

I think this is great!! More dairy-free milk options and alternative gluten-free breads would really improve the accessibility. Vegan and gluten free meals are very cheap and easy, so it would be great to see more choice!

More vegetarian, vegan, Halal, gluten and milk free options need to be available on all the Union shop sites. The options exist in the Markeaton Street and Brit Mill shops, but not all the time and when they are there, they sell out very quickly. The sandwich stock tends to run out in these shops quite regularly as well.
