What if we meet people we like, and want to arrange to meet them separately?
Just swap phone numbers at the event, or call us afterwards and ask for their contact details. When you do that, we call the other couple first, and ask their permission to pass details on to you, just in case the feeling wasn't mutual!

I'm single, but I like the sound of the events you organise. Can I come too?
Unfortunately not. Dinner With Friends is strictly for couples. If you're single, check out dinnerdates.com which offers the same sort of programme for single people.

What if there’s an event for which my partner is not available? If that happens can I come on my own?
Dinner With Friends events are just for couples.

Is this anything to do with wife-swapping?
Definitely not. Dinner With Friends is a social network, which aims to broaden the number and range of your acquaintances.
It’s designed for couples who want to share social, cultural and sporting interests with like-minded people.

Is there a minimum number of events a year that we have to attend?
Not at all. You can come to one, none or every event. That’s entirely up to you, your diary, and your interests.

I have an idea for an event I’d like to participate in. Do you accept suggestions from members?
We welcome them, and if we can arrange them in a way that meets our standards and your expectations, we’ll be happy to include them in the programme.

I notice that Dinner Dates offers holidays and long weekends in its programme. Will there be Dinner With Friends holidays?
We’d like to introduce some holiday opportunities, and we’ll take our lead from our members on this. If enough of you want holidays – we’d probably suggest weekend trips to start with – then we’ll be happy to organise them. The Dinner Dates website will give you an idea of the sorts of trips which are popular with our single members.

Can we bring friends to Dinner With Friends events?
We’re always delighted to increase our membership and welcome new couples along to an event as guests. There is an extra charge of £10 per person on top of the event charge allowing attendance at one event before full membership will need to be considered.
