Dining Hall

Kellogg’s Dining Hall is at the heart of the College. We do not have a high table, so students, staff, Fellows, alumni and all other College members mingle with one another, taking the opportunity to share, support and make connections that can last a lifetime.

The College has an excellent reputation for the quality of its food, and there is always a variety of meal options that includes soups and salads, vegan or vegetarian main courses, and of course, delicious desserts.

Information and updates for College members:

• From Monday to Friday during term time, the Dining Hall provides lunches (12:00-13:45) and dinners (18:00-19:00) to all Kellogg members and their guests.
• On Guest Night Dinner evenings, regular College dinner will be served between 5.15pm – 6.00pm, in the form of a buffet with limited seats in the Dining hall.
• Due to matriculation ceremonies being held on these dates, there will be no College lunch served on Friday 7 November and Friday 14 November 2025.

Meals and payments

College meals are paid for at point of sale by UPay (for College members) or credit card (for guests). Student meals are subsidised by the College.  College members should log into their UPay account (Single Sign-On required) to see the current rates for student meals or other College events.

Guidance on booking and bringing guests

Generally, it is not necessary to book College lunches and dinners for yourself in advance; however, we recommend you arrive as close to the meal’s start time as possible. If you are bringing more than one personal guest to a college lunch or dinner, they must be booked 48 hours in advance by emailing hospitality@kellogg.ox.ac.uk. 

We usually accept a maximum of 2 guests at any lunch or dinner session, but there may be occasions we can accept more. Please email Hospitality.

All guest meals must be paid for (via Upay or bank card, non Amex) by the hosting Kellogg student. Guests may not attend without a Kellogg host.

Dining Hall meals are for dine-in only and not available to takeout.

We will always do our best to cater to any special dietary requirements (e.g. gluten free, dairy free). Please notify hospitality@kellogg.ox.ac.uk at least two working days in advance to ensure that an appropriate meal can be provided if possible.

Guest Night Dinners are very popular, so places need to be booked in advance.
