Dining at High Table

For many years, Members of the House have enjoyed the tradition of High Table dining rights. To make it easier for you to return and take up this invitation, we are introducing three alumni High Table nights each term. This ensures you will be hosted by a Senior Member and have the chance to meet other alumni at High Table. On each night, there will be up to 15 places available for alumni and their guests, with each Member able to bring one guest. Groups of alumni wishing to dine together on the same night may do so (with no more than one guest per Member). 

In Michaelmas Term 2025/26, the dates are:

Tuesday 28 October

Friday 14 November

Tuesday 18 November

Please contact the Steward's Assistant, Jackie Folliard (jacqueline.folliard@chch.ox.ac.uk), or call: 01865 286580, to book your place. Please let Jackie know of any dietary or access requirements, and whether you (and your guest) need to borrow a gown.

The cost of the dinner (excluding wine) is £26.35 plus VAT per person. Guests will be invoiced and may pay by battels. Please note, there is an option to join formal dessert after dinner, which costs an additional £7.69 plus VAT. Wine and drinks costs are charged separately.

For full information regarding High Table dining, eligibility, etiquette and processes, please consult the document here: Alumni High Table Information document 2025/26.

If the dates above are not suitable, you may still request to book on other evenings during term time. However, please note that High Table dinner only proceeds when at least two people, including a current Senior Member of the House, are signed in.

We will publish the Hilary and Trinity term dates as soon as possible.
