For those living in college accommodation, meals are served three times a day, seven days a week. The servery staff produce a wide array of dishes at a consistently high standard, and can cater for all dietary requirements – if you have any queries about this, please email Jamie Short (jamie.short@durham.ac.uk), Castle’s Food and Beverage Service Manager.
Breakfast normally consists of cereals, toast, fruit and some hot items, with tea, coffee and juice all available. Brunch, a Castle favourite, is taken on Saturdays and Sundays and includes sausages, bacon, eggs and anything else you might want in a full English!
Lunch and dinner are both hot, although at lunch there is also the option of having sandwiches. A well-stocked salad bar is available at both lunch and dinner, except for dinner on Sundays when we are treated to a hearty roast. There is formal dinner once or twice a week and an early dinner for those not attending.
During the week, if you want to have a packed lunch prepared for you to take to your lectures then you need to talk to the servery staff a day or two beforehand. Alternatively, there are well-priced places to buy food at the Science Site (the Calman Learning Centre and the Palatine Centre are especially well-stocked) and in the DSU.
