At St Hugh’s we make every effort to accommodate specific dietary requirements so that everyone can enjoy meal times, however we do require some notice in order to be able to cater for these.
College members with any dietary requirements and/or food allergies should notify the Catering Manager at the start of each term. We also request that by 10.00am each Monday morning, those with any specific dietary requirements email the Catering team (catering@st-hughs.ox.ac.uk) to advise which days and meal times they intend to eat in the Dining Hall. This is to ensure that as many precautions as possible can be taken when preparing individual meals, and that all College members have a suitable meal provided for them at all of their requested meal times. If you cannot make a meal that you have requested please email the Catering team to let them know as this will massively help to reduce food waste.
All meals served in College are accompanied by allergy information, and you can also consult the weekly menu. While we do our best to cater for those with allergies, we do not operate an allergen-free environment. This means that, while a dish may not contain allergens such as nuts, dairy or seafood, it will have been prepared in a space that uses those ingredients. The College also serves pre-prepared food manufactured elsewhere which may contain allergens, or may be produced in a location in which allergens are present. Wherever possible (and where not already identified by labelling on the product itself), the College will identify potential allergens.
Please do get in touch with the Catering Manager if you have any other requests or would like to discuss your dietary requirements further.
