Food and drink
With over 1,000 members in our community, food and drink facilities are key to daily life in the College. All students have access to shared cooking facilities, but many take advantage of the Cafe and Buttery during the day for their meals, and the Bar in the evening. Staff working on site are provided with a meal during their working day, and our academic community regularly dines collectively. Alumni are entitled to dine once a term.
Members of the public are always welcome to make use of the facilities. Please note that purchases must be made using either a credit/debit card, or contactless, and that a processing charge will be applicable.
