The Glasshouse

The Glasshouse is a campus bar and food venue at Langwith College on Campus East in York. It combines a casual student-union setting with a street-food menu and social activities, making it suited to informal meals, drinks and time with friends.

The food takes its cue from Asian street food, with a menu built around filled bao-style buns, dumplings and loaded fries alongside other quick, shareable options. The format suits a relaxed meal rather than a formal dining occasion, with food available within the venue’s bar setting.

Drinks include bubble tea cocktails, adding a playful twist to the menu and giving the venue a distinctive alternative to a standard campus bar. The overall style is informal and social, with food and drinks designed to work alongside conversation and casual gatherings.

Pool and darts provide additional ways to spend time at The Glasshouse, so the venue works for more than a quick meal. The games help shape an easygoing atmosphere for students and campus groups looking for a place to meet, eat and take part in a little friendly competition.

The Glasshouse is located at Langwith College, Deramore Lane, on the University of York’s Campus East. Its setting makes it particularly relevant to the university community, while the straightforward street-food menu and games-based setting also suit informal group meet-ups. The venue can also be booked for events, offering a flexible option for campus-based gatherings.

The Glasshouse’s character comes from the combination of casual food, inventive drinks and simple social entertainment. It is a practical choice for a low-key campus outing, with the menu providing familiar street-food formats and the bar space offering room for conversation, pool and darts.
