Question: Will the Buttery Restaurant be open tomorrow? (Wed 15th)

combs

See title. I know term ended for most last week but I need to know if it'll be open so I'm not stuck atein' sangwidges.

It's been open all the days so far this week but with tomorrow being Open Day I'm not sure whether or not it will be - that said I'm pretty sure it was on Open Day last year as I worked for the college on the day and think I received a free lunch there, could be mixing up memories though.

I'd guess it would be, cos exams are on this week.

combs

OK. Thanks. I'll assume it's open. I hope the open day doesn't affect things, and I certainly hope the daltaí scoile don't descend on it.

i dont think michaelmas term like officially ends till ?friday? maybe (not too sure because well it has for me!) so id presume theyd keep the restaurants open till the end of the week anyway...what with the open day they might keep it open to make even more money from those extra ''daltai scoile'' around the place!

College is open until December 24 and won't reopen until January 5. In the meantime everything usually stays open - College ain't just for undergrads!

klap trap

as far as i know its gonna be closed

Oh god, if you ate the prospectus and the leaflets you get coming in front arch, you'd probably have a tastier (and more nutritious) meal than anything you'd get in the Buttery. Save your money.

Never went in today after all so it don't matter. But it's good to know it'll be open tomorrow though, when, honest to goodness, I will go in.

Chick

I did, it was open!

Torture is tastier though.

Not hard to beat the buttery on taste, polystyrene packing in boxes has more flavour.

"The Buttery, serving the culinary challenged since the famine."

Pet

Mmm, grade F meat. Horse testicles, plenty of iron. And green beans that are no longer green, but an odd shade of yellowy-brown!

Chick

Sooo glad I had chips n beans....:eek:

Not if I told you where the "beans" actually come from..

Chick

Pet

There's a reason why the mice in Trinity are extra-squeaky... :eek:

Chick

eugh pet that's just wrong.

Thanks for that(!) I'll never enjoy it again!

Pet

Now you know why you get the odd stringy bit in the beans sometimes..

Chick

Pet

Ok, ok.

Chick

I'll never be able to eat in there again otherwise

I finally got to sample the Buttery vacation cuisine. It wasn't too hot - the mashed potato was a bit cold. It's also drab with fewer people around.

John

that's not mashed potato buddy...

Chick

yeah what is it with the food being only tepid sometimes? only when its not busy

John

It's a bold culinary statement made by the catering staff. Applying Dada principles to cookery in a hope to chart new taste territory. The avant garde has made its way to the kitchen.

Either that or they just plain suck at keeping food properly heated.

Agent Smith

why on earth does anyone quefor the buttery? Just go to the right and Skipp the que...

saves loads of time.

Chick

Cos I'm a good girl and I queue like everyone does/should!!

What would happen if everyone was started skipping like you bold children!!
