board and lodging
Meals and shelter
Board and lodging is accommodation that includes both a place to sleep and meals.
The phrase appears in employment contexts where housing is part of compensation: The position offers board and lodging plus a modest salary.
Board alone refers to meals, from the sense of a table where food is served.
