Let’s be honest: student life is amazing, but the budget side of it? Not so much. Between rent, textbooks, nights out, and that one course material you definitely need but really don’t want to pay for, eating well often ends up at the bottom of the list. Pot noodles and supermarket meal deals can only take you so far before you start craving something real, something hot, fresh, and made with proper ingredients.
That’s exactly why we’re rolling out a 10% student discount at Crete Island Restaurant. Because we genuinely believe good food shouldn’t be a luxury you can only afford once a term.
Real Greek Food, Student-Friendly Prices
If you’re studying at Bournemouth University, AECC, or any other uni in the area, you’re literally minutes from us in Wallisdown. Pop in with a valid student ID and you’ll get 10% off your meal, no catches, no minimum spend nonsense, just a straightforward discount on dishes you’ll actually want to eat.
We’re not talking about cutting corners on a sad student menu. You get the full experience: slow-roasted kleftiko, hand-grilled lamb chops, creamy moussaka, fresh Greek salads, and warm pita with proper homemade tzatziki. The same authentic Cretan recipes our chefs have been making for over 25 years just easier on your bank account.
Why Crete Island?
We get it. As a greek restaurant bournemouth students keep coming back to, we’ve seen every kind of visit, first-date nerves, post-exam celebrations, “I really need to get out of my flat” dinners, and group meals where eight people split everything down to the last olive. We love it all.
Here’s what makes us a solid pick when you’re on a student budget:
- Generous portions. You’re leaving full. End of story.
- Sharing-friendly menu. Order a few mezze, split a mixed grill, and suddenly dinner with mates costs less than a takeaway.
- Veggie, vegan, and gluten-free options. Whatever your housemates are into, there’s something for everyone.
- Relaxed taverna vibes. No stiff dress codes, no rushing you out. Stay, chat, eat slowly, that’s the whole point of Greek dining.
How to Claim Your 10% Off
Honestly, it couldn’t be simpler:
- Bring your valid student ID (uni card, NUS, TOTUM, any of them work).
- Show it when you order in person or when you book a table.
- Get 10% off your bill. That’s it.
The discount applies to dine-in meals, so grab a few friends, book a table, and make a proper night of it.
Perfect for Every Student Occasion
Whether you’re celebrating finishing a brutal essay, hosting a flatmate’s birthday, treating your parents when they visit, or just refusing to eat another bowl of beans on toast, we’re here for it. Greek food is genuinely made for sharing, which makes it ideal for student get-togethers where everyone wants something different but no one wants to overspend.
A starter to share, a couple of mains between the tables, a side of chips that mysteriously disappears in 30 seconds, that’s a proper meal out, and with the student discount, it’s actually doable on a Tuesday night.
Come Hungry, Leave Happy
Good food brings people together, and we don’t think being a student should stop you from enjoying that. So save the instant noodles for emergencies and come treat yourself to something you’ll actually remember.
Book a table with us today, bring your student ID, and enjoy 10% off authentic Greek food in Bournemouth. We’ll save you a seat.
