Booking Meals without Single Sign On (SSO)
If you are a member category that does not have a single sign on issued by the university or college (Associate Member, Common Room Members, Alumni, Non- Student Resident etc.), please fill in either the lunch or dinner form as required. Please note dinner bookings are not confirmed until you have received a conformation email from the front of house team as we will need to check your access permissions, tickets available and guest allowances before arranging a pre-payment to confirm your booking.
If you have issues accessing the form, please contact the front of house team. For lunches, you will be asked to pay for your meal by credit/debit card on collection.
