The Griffin at FCH

As well as all of the high quality catering provisions, each campus also provides students with a fully operational bar (with the exception of the Centre for Arts & Photography) in which students can relax and/or socialise with friends.
Each bar is fully licensed and sells a variety of alcoholic beverages, cocktails, soft drinks and nibbles as well as a bar snack menu.
