Hall
Hall offers four different services throughout the day; breakfast, lunch, early supper and Formal Hall. Breakfast, lunch and early supper are run almost every day, except Sunday when breakfast and lunch are replaced by brunch.
You can find the menus for the forthcoming week on the college intranet, and book in your meals here. Currently you need to book for lunch and supper, which closes at 10:30am the day before. Alcohol is not provided at formal hall, but you are allowed to bring any drinks you want.

College Bar
The College Bar is open every night of the week from 6:30pm until 11:00pm and is usually staffed by some combination of Neal (the full time barman and institution) and Joe or Charlotte (the student staff). The Bar doesn’t open on the night of BOPs, when the staff instead serve drinks at the Sports Pavilion throughout the night.
The Bar is very reasonably priced and in close proximity to the Games Room, JCR and TV Room. Every Monday night of term at roughly 8:30pm, alternating each week, either the JCR Food and Bar Representative or one of the MCR Social Secretaries gives the Bar Quiz. (Currently the MCR quiz is odd weeks – 1,3,5,7 – and the JCR is even – 2,4,6,8).
After Black Tie Formal and other special dinners in Hall, the bar is usually host to some truly atrocious karaoke, organised by the Entz Reps.
