Formal dinner procedures

All formal dinners are served at 7.30pm. High Table takes place in the Dining Hall, while Guest Night dinners are served in the New Fellows’ Dining Room.

The normal dress code is jacket and tie or equivalent, and hosts are asked to inform their guest(s) of this.

The College grace is spoken at the start and end of the meal. At the beginning of the meal, the grace is ‘Benedictus benedicat’ and at the end of the meal it is ‘Benedicto benedicatur’.

Guest Nights are slightly less formal than High Table. These consist of a formal three-course dinner and there is no second dessert.
