Catered accommodation

Each of the residences has a unique dining room providing an ideal setting for you to eat great food, meet new people and socialise, without any expensive trips to the supermarket and time spent preparing meals and having to wash up.

  • We have a real commitment to ethically sourced quality products, using Fairtrade tea and coffee, free range eggs and utilising local suppliers, sourcing sustainable produce and seasonal foods, wherever possible.
  • We seek to deliver food with the optimum nutrition for your physical and mental wellbeing.
  • We are Eat Safe accredited, a sign of outstanding food safety standards; we take your safety and wellbeing seriously.
  • A wide range of menu items is offered daily, including a vegan and a vegetarian option and healthy alternatives endorsed by the Healthy Living Award.
  • Compact kitchens are available so you can prepare your own drinks and light snacks.

Delivering a Service that works around you

We know that you will be busy studying and attending classes so we deliver a service that works around you:

  • Packed lunches or dinners can be provided as alternatives in fully catered residences.
  • A number of catering packages are available to maximise flexibility.

We endeavour to meet special dietary requirements, however we are unable to provide Halal or Kosher options.  We may not be able to cater for some food allergies depending on severity; please contact the catering team by emailing studentcatering@st-andrews.ac.uk before you apply to study in St Andrews to discuss your requirements.
