NOTICE FROM THE STEWARD
To: All Graduate Students
MEALS IN HALL
Graduates are required to eat meals (breakfast, lunch or dinner) to the value of at least £75.70 per term, this being the Graduate Food Element. This Element is averaged out and assessed on an annual basis.
The Graduate Kitchen Fixed Charge is currently set at £116.72 per term.
Graduates will only be served breakfast, lunch or dinner in Hall on presentation of a valid University Multipurpose Security Card.
The card should be presented to the appropriate member of College staff at the till in the Servery. The card will be swiped and the cost of the meal automatically charged to the individual’s College Account. Meals taken by Graduate Students’ guests can be paid for with the card and will be subject to an additional £1.95 guest charge.
Dining in Formal Hall
Following a review, Formal Hall remains available every evening during Full Term. Tickets must be presented on the given date for entry into Formal Hall: these may be purchased between 8.15 am and 1.30 pm in the Servery. Tickets required for Sunday evenings should be purchased by 1.30 pm on the previous Saturday. Names of those proposing to dine in Formal Hall should also be entered onto the Hall Sheet. Graduates are now able to book into Formal Hall by telephoning the Servery on 38232 (within the above times).
If a Graduate Student wishes to bring a guest or guests to Formal Hall, would he or she please enter the words ‘+ guest’ in the consecutive numbered box(es) on the Hall Sheet at the Servery till, indicating also any necessary dietary requirements. Junior Members may bring a maximum of six guests into any single Formal Hall. Larger numbers will require the permission of the Senior Tutor in the form of a group dining permit, obtained through the Catering Manager.
It is hoped that Graduates will respect the 1.30 pm deadline. However, it is understood that from time to time this may not be possible, and the Kitchens can allow a certain latitude and admit Graduates to Hall who, exceptionally, have been unable to comply with the deadline. Refunds in respect of reserved places cannot normally be given after the 1.30 pm deadline.
Graduate Students are permitted to bring wine into Formal Hall: this may be purchased from the range offered for sale in the College Bar or, subject to payment of a corkage fee of £1.25 per bottle, externally. The Bar Supervisor is responsible for collecting corkage and will issue dated receipts.
Lost Cards
Lost cards should be reported immediately to the Duty Porter and the College Office; a replacement card will then be ordered. The University Card Office levies a £10 administration charge for the replacement of lost or stolen cards.
College Bar
The College Bar is currently open daily from 7 pm to 11 pm (12 pm on Fridays and Saturdays) during term-time, commencing the Saturday before the start of Full Term. In the Michaelmas and Lent Terms, the Bar will remain open for one week after the end of Full Term. Payment for items purchased in the Bar may be made by means of the University Multipurpose Security Card, as an alternative to cash, subject to a credit limit of £200. Spending in the Bar does not count towards the Graduate Food Element.
