Poole House, Talbot Campus
Your student kitchen and bar, right in the heart of Talbot Campus. For over 30 years, Dylan's has been at the heart of student life at Bournemouth University. Whether you're grabbing breakfast before a lecture, meeting friends for lunch, attending a quiz or bingo, or relaxing with a drink after a busy day.
Dylan's is your campus local. Serving freshly prepared food made with locally sourced ingredients wherever possible, alongside great-value drinks and regular student offers, it's the perfect stop between lectures, after seminars or before a night out.
Throughout the year, Dylan's also hosts everything from quiz nights and boozy bingos to society socials, live music and seasonal events, making it one of the busiest social spaces on campus. For every pint or meal you buy, money gets put back into students’ pockets whether that’s our student-staff’s wages or funding your SU’s student support services. Whether you're here for five minutes or the whole evening, Dylan's is your place to eat, drink, meet friends and make the most of campus life.
