St. Cuths Catering

I'm probably going to apply to St. Cuths college BUT I'm a eensy bit confued about the catering thing.

So at Cuths you can be catered, self-catered or part catered.

Is Parson's field all self catered- or is it mixed??

What is part catered!?

How many people opt to be fully catered??

I really like the idea of being entirely catered as I do think mealtimes together would be great for socialising and talking to people who might otherwise pass you by! Could someone clear up these questions for me! Thankyou in advance.

All buildings in Parson's Field have decent kitchen facilities in each flat. There were new kitchen appliances installed last year, and I think there was talk of refurbishing the kitchens completely, although I'm not sure if this has happened yet.

If you go part catered then you'll get 10 meals a week (lunch and dinner Mon-Fri). This means you can still socialise with people at lunch/dinnertimes, but have the freedom to cook for yourself (and get up when you like to make your own breakfast). You also have the freedom to make a nice meal for yourself on weekends.

I'm not too sure how many people opt for semi/fully/self catering, as this is the first year this system has been in place. Last year people living at PF had 5 meals a week in Society (alternate lunch/dinners Mon-Fri).

Being part catered is very nearly fully catered. You're only missing out on weekend meals and breakfast, but it gives you extra flexibility and you can impress others with your cooking skills :biggrin:
