College Guide 12-13

College Facilities
Cartmel Bar
The Bar also has another name – The Winning Post – which, though not
much used, is derived from the College’s association with the village of
Cartmel in Cumbria known for its rather rustic race course. Cartmel Bar is
relatively new, built around Barker House Farm, a building dating from the
17 th century. The Bar has a split serving area with two individual bars, and
adjoins the large Junior Common Room with a built-in DJ booth. It also
boasts the BEST bar staff on campus! Cartmel College
bar serves a wide range of teas and coffees as well as a
stronger fare, with ambient music. The décor of the bar is
along a traditional theme in keeping with the style of the
listed farm building it has been built around. Casual bar
staff are all current students, usually from the college
itself. The Licensee deals with appointments of casual staff and so whether
you are experienced or keen to learn, and feel you would like a job then
contact the Licensee. There is usually a waiting list for these jobs so the
sooner you apply, the better.
Junior Common Room
The Junior Common Room, or JCR as it is more
commonly called, is adjacent to the bar and is
where all the pool tables, games machine and the
dart board is housed. The JCR also contains sofas
to relax on during the day, and a DJ booth and
dance floor that can be used during socials.
Food Court
The food court isn’t actually run by the college, but
by the University’s Hospitality and Catering
department. However it is located just outside of
our bar so is very handy for Cartmel students. The
Food Court is covered by a glass canopy so it can
be used in all weathers. It serves breakfast, lunch,
and dinner, so at any time of day, if you can’t be bothered to cook, you can go
along and pick up something to eat.
