Starting University is exciting - there’s a lot to manage from moving in, to starting your course, making friends, as well as remembering to shop and cook! Food Bundles are a smart, flexible and easy way to pay for food and drink on campus, exclusively available to students living in University of Leeds accommodation.
What are Food Bundles?
Food Bundles are prepaid food and drink packages that you can use in the Refectory and across the University’s Great Food at Leeds operated cafés. They’re accessed through the GFaL Rewards app, making it super easy to pay for food and track your balance - all from your phone.
Why buy a Food Bundle?
Here’s why Food Bundles are a game-changer for students living in University of Leeds accommodation:
💸 Better value for money
Food Bundles come with up to 20% extra credit – most packages offer better value for money than paying as you go. The options are:
- Bronze Food Bundle: Pay £250, get £250 (no bonus)
- Silver Food Bundle: Pay £500, get £525 (5% extra free)
- Gold Food Bundle: Pay £750, get £825 (10% extra free)
- Platinum Food Bundle: Pay £1000, get £1200 (20% extra free)
🍽️ Flexible spending
There are no daily limits, so you can spend as much or as little as you want, whenever you want. Whether it’s a quick coffee or a full meal, your Food Bundle is ready when you are.
🌍 Wide choice of food
From global cuisines to comforting classics, the Refectory and campus cafés offer a variety of delicious options to suit every taste and dietary need.
📱 Easy to use
Just download the GFaL Rewards app, sign up with your University email and scan your in-app QR code at the till. Your balance updates instantly, and you will earn loyalty points with every purchase.

Food Bundles are only available to students living in University of Leeds accommodation—so it’s a perk just for you!

Top Tip: Planning your meals with a Food Bundle can help you stay on budget, reduce food waste and make the most of your time on campus.
Other ways to stay topped up
If you want to pre-upload food and drink credit, but you don’t want to buy a whole Food Bundle, we also offer GFaL Rewards Credit.
GFaL Rewards Credit is the convenient portal for anyone, including friends and family, to upload food and drink credit to a GFaL Rewards account.
Credit can be spent on any food and drink across the 12 GFaL outlets on campus. This includes meals at the award-winning Refectory, as well as barista-curated drinks in our GFaL cafés.
