The University of Southampton

Catered Halls

Catered Halls provide students with readily available, fresh, nutritional, tasty food to help support their study and well-being, and fuel the most challenging of days. 

We cater for a vast variety of food preferences, diets and allergies, and will always be at hand to listen to personal catering needs and provide comprehensive information on the products served. We encourage students to discuss any specific dietary needs with Halls catering supervisors, and our dedicated chefs will always be at hand to assist.

The Catering Service team prides itself on providing a high quality, personable service; we encourage our students to think of us as family.

Students are encouraged to invite university friends to join them for dinner, non-catered students can pay for each meal taken via a bank card.
