Are meals in catered hostels good quality, varied, and suitable for different dietary requirements?

Our catered hostels provide freshly prepared meals every day, offering a variety of options throughout the week. Volunteers can generally expect a mix of meat and vegetarian dishes, helping provide choice and variety wherever possible.

All meat served within our catered hostels is halal. We understand that volunteers may have different dietary requirements, preferences, allergies, or cultural needs, and we encourage anyone with specific requirements to speak with the House Manager or hostel team upon arrival.

Where possible, our chefs will do their best to suggest suitable options or make reasonable adjustments to dishes to accommodate dietary needs. However, this may not always be possible depending on the requirement, available ingredients, kitchen facilities, or operational limitations. In such cases, the hostel team will be happy to discuss the options available and help identify the most suitable solution.
