Castles didn't have "mess halls" but they did have great halls that served for everything. People ate there, sometimes slept there, and had meetings there. On the whole the it was a pretty busy place usually with rushes on the floor. The rushes were removed once a year and by that time they were pretty stinky. When people ate they often threw food on the floor so rotten food, dog waste, and other critters were in the rushes. The great hall would be rather smoky too. Tallow candles were used and they gave off a rancid smell and oily smoke. There was often a fireplace at one end of the hall, but it only warmed the area around it so the other end was usually cold and damp. In older castles the great hall was the main room of the castle and as castles evolved bedrooms were added.

What was the soldiers mess hall like in World War 2?
For some it was glory, All you can eat, but, eat all that you put on your tray. Nothing gourmet, but eggs, milk, fresh fruit, meat and butter and bread were available. For most troops that had lived through the depression, this was America at its best, coffee with cream and sugar, bacon and eggs, ice cream and apple pie. The mess hall put meat on the bones and despite the vigorous physical exertion, all but the "fatties" put on pounds.
Was there a ccc camp on the gunflint trail?
Yes, there was a camp about 20 miles up the trail from Grand Marais. I worked in the camp in the summer of 1956 when it was owned by the US Forest Service and housed blister rust eradication crews. The camp was on the Brule river and consisted of a number of barracks, a mess hall and a blacksmith shop. There was a large railroad bell with a rope running into the mess hall. The cook would ring the bell to call the workers to eat. I have pictures of the camp but have not been able to paste them into this reply.
Where does a knight eat?
Knights lived in Medieval castles. In a castle, everyone ate in the mess hall, which was the castle's "dining room." However, there were no table manners or cleanliness, and if a modern person were to visit a Medieval mess hall it would probably seem rather disgusting. It was considered rude to eat with utensils.
