Hall & Catering
Our bright & elegant Georgian Hall is laid out in a traditional medieval format. It is used by our College community of students, Fellows & staff to eat, catch up and socialise together.
Buttery & Hall
The Buttery is served via a cafeteria system. It is open for self–service breakfast, lunch & dinner throughout the week (Monday–Saturday). Brunch & dinner are available on Sundays. All Hall food is automatically charged to your college bill, via your University card.

Dietary Requirements
Vegetarian & vegan dishes are always available, and dietary requirements detailed on Formal Hall bookings are catered for. Food allergens are displayed with each dish, and on the screens outside the Buttery. As the kitchen produces a wide range of dishes, we cannot guarantee all potential allergens can be eliminated.
Buttery Shop
The Buttery Shop sells essential food items & College wine. It is open Monday–Friday between 1100 & 1330, and 1730 & 1900. Items can be purchased with cash, or using your University card.
Formal Hall
An exciting and unique part of the Cambridge experience is our Formal Halls. People often book these to celebrate and enjoy a three–course, served & candlelit dinner in their gowns. These are offered on most evenings. Students often organise themed Formal Halls for charity and cross–college social events. Formal Hall is provided each evening except Wednesday.
Arrangements for Formals

- Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday evenings are open to clubs & societies and larger numbers of guests (although you can book without guests).
