The College hosts a variety of types of formal dinners. These include:
- Grad Hall – Wednesday evenings, for graduates and their guests only, gowns must be worn by College members. Sherry will be served by the MCR Committee in the MCR beforehand and port and coffee afterwards.
- Formal Hall – Thursday and Sunday evenings, for undergraduates, graduates and their guests, gowns must be worn by College members. Coffee is included in the dinner.
Wine is not typically served at these dinners, but guests are allowed to bring a maximum of one bottle per head from outside. For Super Hall dinners the wine must be purchased from the College Bar, but for Grad and Formal Halls it may be purchased from anywhere.
MCR members are encouraged to go not only to Grad Hall, which is subsidised by the MCR (see below) but to also join the undergraduates at Formal Halls and Super Halls!
All college dinners are booked online via HalBook. (You’ll need a Raven password; if you don’t have one yet, follow these instructions.) The price displayed does not include the additional grad surcharge, the magnitude of which will depend on your kitchen contract status. To trade Grad Hall tickets use GradHallTrade. There is also a Trinity Hall Dining Comment Book and a Daily Cafeteria Menu.
