Lady Margaret Hall is one of nine Oxford colleges to use the "two-word" Latin grace; this grace is also used by five colleges at the [[University of Cambridge]]. The person presiding at High Table says the grace in two parts at formal meals. The first half of the grace, the ''ante cibum'', is said before the meal starts and the second, the ''post cibum'', once the meal's conclusion. It is as follows:

''Benedictus benedicat'' – "May the Blessed One give a blessing"

''Benedicto benedicatur'' – "Let praise be given to the Blessed One" or "Let a blessing be given by the Blessed One"

In contrast to some other colleges, gowns are not worn to formal hall, though they are still required at special occasions such as the Scholars' dinner and the Founders' and Benefactors' dinner.
