Someone meets them at the door
Every table has a host who says hello, makes the introductions and keeps the conversation going. Nobody walks in cold.
Give someone a seat at the table
A proper dinner out, with a table of friendly people and a host who makes the introductions. They choose the dinner. You choose how it reaches them.

A gift for Mum
A seat at the table
“Happy Christmas! Something for the new year: a proper dinner out and a table of new friends. Enjoy every minute.”

Your gift
Choose it, write it, send it
About a minute, all on this page, and you don't need an account. You pay on the next step.
What you're giving
Not a voucher. A whole evening.
The credits are the ticket. The present is everything that happens once they sit down.
Ten or so good people
A table of 10 to 12 at a good local restaurant. Most of our guests come on their own, and most are in their forties, fifties and sixties.
And a reason to meet again
They swap numbers with the people they click with. Plenty of our guests become regular friends and meet up away from our dinners.
From our guests
What it's like, in their words
Worried they'll feel awkward going on their own? Most of our guests come alone, and this is what they say afterwards.
“The host made everyone feel at ease. Such a gift for bringing people together.”
Victoria S. · Exeter
“Went alone and didn't feel awkward for a second. Everyone was lovely.”
Rebecca C. · Exeter
“I was nervous at first but everyone was so friendly. Left with three new friends!”
Jenny W. · Exeter
“As someone new to Exeter, this was the perfect way to connect with the community. The conversations were genuine!”
Emma L. · Exeter
Who it's for
For the people who are hard to buy for
Pick one and we'll start the note for you. Change every word, or send it as it is.
Christmas
Something to look forward to once the tree's down. It can land at 8am on Christmas morning.
A birthday
For the person who has everything except a free evening and someone to share it with.
New to Devon
The quickest way to know people in a new town is to sit down to dinner with them.
A new chapter
Newly retired, newly single, or the house has gone quiet. A night out with people who are glad to meet them.
A thank you
For a neighbour, a carer, a colleague. Better than flowers, and it lasts longer than a box of chocolates.
Just because
For the friend who keeps saying they never get out any more.
How it works
Bought in a minute, opened in two taps
Everything happens on the web, so there's nothing to download, and the link in their email or the QR code on the card already knows the code.
01
You choose and pay
Pick a gift, add a note and pay, all on this page. It takes about a minute, and you don't need an account.
02
It reaches them
By email straight away or at 8am on the day you choose, or on a card you print and hand over yourself. Either way it carries your note and a quick way to open it.
03
They book a dinner
They open it, make a free account, and the credits are theirs for any dinner they like. We'll let you know when they've opened it.
Good to know
Before you give it
A dinner with new people is a lovely thing to be given. Here are the details.
Christmas
Christmas morning, sorted
Set it to land at 8am on 25 December, or print the card and tuck it under the tree. It takes about a minute.
