Food and Drink
Students can choose to eat either in Formal Hall (which operates as a salad bar at lunch time) or in the College Buttery. Both provide a good choice of reasonably priced meals, and vegetarian (but not vegan, kosher or halal) options are routinely offered. As a way of keeping prices low, every student whose dietary requirements can be catered for is required to pay a kitchen fixed charge of approximately £105 per term. This covers all the overheads: thereafter, the food students buy is offered more or less at cost price. The pictures show the College's Catering Manager, Mr Ricardo Chieppa, and his team. Please click on the photographs to enlarge them. Whilst it is assumed that most students will make substantial use of these communal facilities, student accommodation in Clare is also provided with some limited facilities for self-catering. On average, each kitchen is shared between three students, and is equipped for students to be able to prepare snacks and light meals. There are two Bars in the College: one adjacent to the JCR, and the other in the MCR, which is used largely by Graduate Students. The JCR Bar is normally open from 12.30-1.30 pm and from 6 pm to 11.30 pm daily. Students assist in its running on nights where there is an Event in the JCR, which is an extremely popular venue for live music and DJ nights.
