First step, is to download the mobile app UNiDAYS. On this app or website click here, you will find lots of discounts once you have signed up using your Kingston University email address. The discounts range from clothing, technology, beauty and lots more. If you can fit dining out for discounted prices around your studying, here are some great places to visit.
Once you have downloaded the app to your mobile and created your profile, you are ready to go. It is best to upload a current photo of yourself to finish off your ID. A lot of restaurants require you to show your UNiDAYS ID to get your discounts. Whereas, other venues may ask for a QR code provided by the UNiDAYS app once you open your offer.
In the UNiDAYS app there are so many restaurants to choose from. But what restaurants are in walking distance and when are they available? The list below are varied options with great offers. To get your codes, you will need to go onto the ‘Discover’ bar at the bottom of the page. From there, scroll the top bar for ‘Food & Drink’. Then in the app gives options on what type of food you’re looking for, for going out to eat, select ‘Dine Out’.
If you are wanting Italian cuisine, UNiDAYS give you great offers on both Pizza Express and Zizzi’s. Both of these restaurants are within a close walk of the Penrhyn Road campus, and in Kingston town centre. There are two Pizza Express restaurants but only one Zizzi’s restaurant. Pizza Express offer 30 per cent off for students, which runs from Sunday to Thursday. While Zizzi’s offer 20 per cent off, running from Sunday to Thursday as well.
If Italian food isn’t your favourite, try YO!. YO! is a modern Japanese sushi restaurant. Your food is served to you on a conveyer belt and it is a cool way to change up how you eat and order your food. YO! offer 20 per cent off Sunday till Friday. Although it isn’t fast food, it is served up quickly and would be an easy option for a speedy lunch. YO! is located inside of the Bentall Centre, right in the centre of Kingston.
Another great option and a whole different type of cuisine is Las Iguanas. They serve Latin American food and even without your student discount Las Iguanas always have amazing deals running. With 2-for-1 cocktails running all week long. But the offer you can get via UNiDAYS is 30 per cent off running Sunday to Thursday. Again, this restaurant is very short walk from the Penrhyn Road campus. It is easy to spot with its fluorescent sign paired with the restaurant itself being big.
Last of all is Bill’s. This is another genre of food, British or Contemporary European. Bill’s feels much more formal from my experience, in comparison to the others listed. But at a reasonable price. Especially once you get the 20 per cent off from UNiDAYS. This runs from Sunday till Thursday. This location is very pretty as it is located on the riverfront. With outdoor seating this is a great location for date night or just a meal with a view as summer rolls around. But if you are wanting to go sooner, the inside is amazing too, Bill's always impresses with it’s interiors.
The UNiDAYS app or website is brilliant for students and a must have whilst living in a town like Kingston with not only the restaurants but the shops too. Make sure that you are always updated on what offers they have to show on UNiDAYS, because they add and remove deals quite often. But there will always be a great deal for dining.
