Meal times
Summer
| Breakfast | 7 – 8 a.m. |
| Lunch | 12 – 1 p.m. |
| Supper | 5 – 6 p.m. |
These times may be negotiated based on the size of your group and other groups on campus. In order for us to handle your conference/event and others that may be on campus as efficiently as possible, we ask that you adhere to the agreed-upon meal times strictly.
Academic Year
The dining hall lists meal times and menus.
Billing
To assist Pioneer College Caterers as they prepare for your event, we require that you provide us with a meal estimate two weeks prior to your arrival and a final guarantee three business days prior. You will be billed based on the number of meals consumed or the final meal guarantee, whichever is greater. We use various methods to track the number of meals you use and we’ll discuss which is most appropriate for your group prior to your arrival.
During the summer months there are typically three menu options:
- Standard menu
- Child-friendly menu
- Enhanced menu
The dining hall is all-you-can-eat buffet-style, but we ask that you be good stewards and take only as much as you can eat to reduce waste.
There is some flexibility to the menu options and you can make special arrangements prior to your arrival. If you’re interested in a picnic or a reception, a snack break or boxed lunches, please see the catering guide.
