Catering

St Cuthbert's Society can offer a choice of fully-catered, self-catered and part-catered options, including pay-as-you-go. So, if you live at Parson's Field or live out, you can take advantage of both the part-catered (meals package) and the "pay as you go" options. If you have any specific dietary requirements, please let us know.

For further information regarding the catering provision within the college, please contact the Food Services Manager, Tracey McDonald at tracey.mcdonald@durham.ac.uk.

Fully-catered

  • Meals are provided in the Dining Hall at our South Bailey site
  • Students in fully-catered accommodation receive three meals per day, seven days per week

The quality of food is excellent. To ensure that standards are consistently high, there is regular interaction between the student body and the staff responsible for the food. If you have any dietary requirements, please let the college know in advance to ensure that we can provide what you require.

Self-catered

  • Self-catered accommodation is offered as standard with all Parsons Field accommodation
  • Large, fully-equipped kitchens are shared in flats of between 6-10 students

Part-catered (Meal Plan)

Students living in self-catered accommodation can purchase a Meals package, providing 10 meals per week (Monday to Sunday, Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner) during term time. New Students will be emailed to ask if they would like to sign up, if you would like further information please contact cuthberts.collegecoordinator@durham.ac.uk.

The cost of the different catering packages is reflected in your residence charge (the amount you pay in accommodation fees as a liver-in), but you can also choose to eat in college as a liver out by purchasing meals from the server.
