Catering
Eating together is central to College life at Magdalen. The kitchen staff are keen to cook food, as far as possible, to meet all students’ dietary needs. In addition to meat and fish options, there is always a cooked vegetarian option available at breakfast, lunch and dinner. During the day, the Old Kitchen Bar also serves a wide range of snacks so that students can choose whatever baguettes, salads, soup, jacket potatoes or cakes appeal. Information about the allergen content of prepared food is made available in advance. College is also able to provide meals for students who require vegan, allergen-free, kosher or halal food at formal hall – please just let the chefs know your needs in advance by emailing kitchen@magd.ox.ac.uk
Most students eat in Hall or the Old Kitchen Snack Bar once or twice a day, and cook the other meal or meals for themselves. Between £9 and £10 per day for three College meals is average, thus the cost of meals only for a 59-night term would be approximately £530; around £600 including the fixed charge. There are also kitchen facilities throughout College accommodation.
There is a termly fixed charge for catering. The 2019-20 rate for students living in College accommodation is £71.95 per term. The 2019-20 rate for students not living in College accommodation is £35.90 per term.
