Cactus Cultural Partners – Food & Drink

Learning a new language with Cactus opens so many doors for you. As well as adding a skill for life to your repertoire, learning a new language gives you the opportunity to improve your career prospects. Not only this, but it also adds a level of confidence for those looking to travel and visit other countries. One of the biggest fears of those travelling or going on holiday to other countries is not being able to communicate with the locals. Studying a language with Cactus helps eliminate this. But learning with Cactus is not all about studying and self-improvement. Our Cultural Partners Scheme provides added benefits for our students. We have taken a brief look at some of our foodie favourites from our list of ever-growing cultural partners for food & drink.

Food and Drink Cultural Partners

We all love a good deal and even better when it involves food! That is why Cactus has teamed up with restaurants and cafes to offer our students exclusive discounts! Below are just some of the tasty offerings our students can claim while studying with Cactus.

Gong cha

One of our most recent additions to our Cultural Partners list, Gong cha. Gong cha offers natural, healthy, freshly brewed tea at locations across the UK. They offer a wide selection of flavours and allow customers to fully customise their beverages. Choose your preferred temperature, size, sugar level, ice level, and toppings. As well as this, there are even 3 different ways you can drink your tea! There are over 40 different flavours to choose from.

Gong cha was founded in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 2006 and now has stores worldwide. In the UK you can find stores in Brighton, Manchester, London, and other major cities with more locations planned for opening in the coming months.

As part of Cultural Partner scheme, Cactus students can claim a free upsize when ordering a beverage! All you need to do is show your current course confirmation at any Gong cha store in the UK. To find your nearest gong cha, please visit their website.

La Petite Bretagne

For those who love all things French, visiting our Cultural Partner La Petite Bretagne is guaranteed to bring a smile.

Offering dozens of different sweet and savoury crepes, La Petite Bretagne uses traditional methods and ingredients to create these tasty dishes. There are even vegan options and due to the fact the crepes are made with buckwheat flour, they are gluten and wheat free!

And while you are practising your French skills while ordering a tasty crepe, as a Cactus student you can claim a free drink!

La Petite Bretagne is a must-visit for those who find themselves in Hammersmith feeling a little peckish.

Salvador & Amanda

We all love a good restaurant and cocktail bar, and that’s exactly what you get with Salvador & Amanda. This Spanish-style venue offers the taste of Spain through its luxurious restaurant. With mouth-watering tapas, Salvador & Amanda is certain to get you in the mood for all things Spanish.

Once you’ve finished your meal you can stick around and enjoy their range of Spanish-influenced cocktails to finish the night. If cocktails aren’t your thing then there is a range of traditional Spanish drinks to choose from. The list includes Sangria, Cruzcampo, and a wide selection of wines.

Salvador & Amanda is the perfect venue for a pre-show dinner in London’s West End or maybe some after-work drinks with friends. As a Cactus student, you will be able to claim 15% off your total bill from Monday to Thursday, so you can always have that one last cocktail!

Cactus Cultural Partners

At Cactus we love being able to help students discover new languages and improve on their skills. But we love being able to help our students discover the culture behind the language and our Cultural Partners allow us to that. Therefore, our list of partner businesses is constantly growing! As a student with us you have access to all of the perks and discounts completely free of charge!

You can view all of our current partners on our dedicated Cultural Partners section of the website. From food and drink to world travel and dance classes, we have something for everyone.

Cactus offers courses in over 20 different languages available in a range of levels to suit your ability level.
