Most of Durham's colleges are fully catered.

Some in Bristol

Not sure any all eat together, it was over 2 hour window 30 years ago (and terrible quality too) what does your dc want? Remember even if you select one hall you can end up with another

Loughborough has some.

LIZS · 11/05/2023 14:40

York

@HecticHettie Wills Hall at Bristol. Churchill hall as well I think. You would need to opt for these.

Most universities have ‘proper’ catered accommodation- Manchester, Birmingham, Durham, York etc etc

Stringbean70 · 11/05/2023 15:27

@KittyMcKitty no, they really don’t. Self-catered is the norm. No catering at Leicester. Only one small part-catered block at Cardiff. None at Liverpool. Only credit to use in various outlets at Bath, Lancaster etc (so not what the OP considers a catered hall)

Birmingham has a meal plan. It is in a big communal space but not a catered hall.

Peppermaynt · 11/05/2023 16:44

Brighton uni

Castle Leazes at Newcastle has a catered option.

Delphigirl · 11/05/2023 23:55

Exeter. Quite a few catered halls.

Seems an odd criteria to choose a University on though.

Royal Agricultural Uni

HecticHettie · 12/05/2023 00:53

A consideration, lovely, but not a definitive criterion (singular of criteria btw). Thanks for your unhelpful input @UsingChangeofName

Ignore @UsingChangeofName OP. Life is too short to engage with these people. Catering is a factor but, for sure, every reasonable person on here knows yiu will have other criteria too. You asked a reasonable question

TizerorFizz · 12/05/2023 07:48

@HecticHettie
I think some unis have meal cards which is not the same as eating together in a dining room. Very few truly have the dining experience you are looking for.

Cannot see any catered at Brighton.

Tree543 · 12/05/2023 08:23

Some at Exeter Loughborough, Nottingham, Southampton as well I think
Meal plan at Bath, Birmingham
