SOUP LUNCH

The Uppsala Cathedral clock rings twelve times. It is time for soup lunch at Västgöta nation to be served! During each semester, every weekday between 12 pm and 2 pm a warm soup lunch with fluffy focaccia bread and crispy cabbage salad is being served at VG. The soup is always vegetarian, and even a vegan option is available. As a member of Västgöta nation you are even entitled to a discount! Lunch served at the nation is open to all and no nation card is required.

BEER CELLAR DJÄKNEN

Västgöta nation’s pub Djäknen is located in the medieval vault under the nation house. The beautiful vault, good food, and wide variety of beers offered makes Djäknen one of the nicest pubs in Uppsala. Entrance to the pub is via the garden which is located directly outside the nation house on the right side of the main entrance.

Our brunch hosts satisfy the hungry guests’ appetites with an extensive menu including many vegetarian and vegan alternatives as well! No nation card is required for the brunch. The opening hours are 10 am – 2 pm on Sundays, enjoy!

Gasques

The tradition of gasques is perhaps something unique to student life in Uppsala that differs from any other student life in the world. Gasques are formal dinner parties that consist of great food, drinks, traditional Swedish schnapps songs, speeches, and other entertainment. The dinners are arranged by students, for students and there is typically a dress code that is semi-formal (for gasques) or formal (for balls). Bringing a suit or a nice dress with you to Uppsala is highly recommended! More casual dinner parties are called “sexas” and usually don’t have a dress code. In the beginning of each semester we arrange a recce-gasque to guide our new members through the gasque tradition, it is a great way to meet current members of the nation and learn more about VG. Make sure to be there!
