Join Get A Social Life for a relaxed and friendly 3-course social dinner, perfect for anyone who enjoys good food, good conversation and meeting new people.
Many people attending our events come on their own, so please don’t worry if you don’t have anyone to come with — you certainly won’t be the only solo guest.
Come along, step out of your comfort zone, meet some new people and enjoy a lovely Friday evening together.

PERFECT FOR SOLOS, FRIENDS & COUPLES
Don’t worry if you don’t have anyone to come with.
Our events are very welcoming to solo guests and the majority of people attending our social events come on their own.
There’s no awkward walking into a restaurant and sitting by yourself. This is a hosted evening where everyone is there to socialise, enjoy themselves and hopefully make some new connections.
Come as strangers, leave having made new connections.
IMPORTANT – YOUR MEAL MUST BE PRE-ORDERED
All meals must be pre-ordered at least 7 days before the event.
