Dining

"Thank you for helping us organise a marvellous dinner. Top food, top company and top service. Please send our kind regards to the chefs in the kitchen and the wonderful service staff. The venison was to die for! The wine was perfect. All of our guests had a wonderful time and appreciate the college’s warm hospitality. Having been here for three years so far and four more to go, I cannot wait to organise such brilliant events in the future with your help!"

"We were celebrating my mother in laws 90'th birthday party and had a night that we will never forget. The venue,food,staff were amazing.

Also to Victoria the host in charge of us for the night could have not been me more helpful and accommodating. I would not hesitate in using Jesus college again.

We held our annual garden party on a beautifully sunny day in June. We booked Second Court for this.

The venue was beautiful, both the room where the catering was held and the Gardens where we took the official photos and could gather to chat and enjoy the nice weather.

"The reunion dinner on Friday for the old Economics students was a huge success. Pramila and I really enjoyed meeting the students again and they in turn had a great time too. Please extend our thanks to Zoe and the others who help make this happen. It is very much appreciated!"

The group enjoyed a menu of smoked haddock croquette, slow cooked sirloin of beef topped with lobster tail, followed by the very popular pear williams tart. After dinner they then enjoyed drinks in the new College bar.

"We thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience at the College. The room was beautifully set and the food and service were excellent. I found staff are very helpful and attentive and flexible and went the extra mile to make delegates feel special (eg opening the dining hall for the delegates to have a look). So a big 'thank you' from all of us!"

Pre dinner drinks for this event were served in the College gardens, followed by dinner served in the Upper Hall. The group enjoyed a menu of rillets of Brixham crab to start, a main course of cider braised pork belly, followed by malted...
