Kitchen

Welcome to the Grebel's Kitchen! Some of the information posted here is applicable only to those students with a meal plan. If you are unsure if something applies to you, ask a don or a campus host or anyone in the Student Services.

We all love food and Grebel works diligently to provide you with a variety of delicious and nutritious meals 7 days a week. 

• When are meals served?
• Can I take food out of the dining room?
• Can my friends/parents come to have a meal with me?
• What can I do in the dining room besides eat?
• What if I have food allergies, sensitivities or food preferences?

Meals are served at the following times:

Weekdays

Weekends & Holidays

The exceptions to this schedule fall under: 'Late Suppers' and 'Bag Lunches'.

The meals begin with Waterloo's Orientation Week and end with the Waterloo's exam period. Residence fees are set assuming students eat 70% of their meals at the college. Fees cover breakfast, lunch, dinner, and afternoon snacks. The kitchen is open from 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm so that students can access beverages, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal, bread/bagels, and spreads for snacking. The meal plan also includes a couple of late evening snack times each week.

Can I take food out of the dining room?

No, you may not! Of course there are always exceptions for specific cases.

Can my friends/parents come to have a meal with me?

Yes, they can with a few guidelines and exceptions.

Residents have paid for their meals as part of their residence fee. All other people are required to pay for any food obtained in the dining room. 

Residents are asked not to share food, or supply food for non-residents (see Food Rules!!!).

Due to limited space, typically only residents and associates can attend Community Supper. If you have an out of town visitor and want to bring her/him to Community Supper, please speak with the Director of Student Services.

What can I do in the dining room besides eat?

The dining room may be used for studying, playing games, or visiting with others with the following conditions.

• It is a public space so you cannot insist that other people be quiet.

Periodically, the dining room is reserved by various groups for banquets or receptions. We try to limit the number of groups to reduce disruption of student life, but we ask that you be considerate when the dining room is in use. Residents will be notified in advance of these events.

What if I have food allergies, sensitivities or food preferences?

We do our best to accommodate all food allergies and sensitivities. We are happy to meet with you to discuss your particular dietary needs.

Preferences? Remember that food service is being provided for a large number of people and a particular request is not always possible. Feel free to speak with us if you have any food concerns.
