Staying safe

Practical things that make a dinner with strangers a good idea rather than a risky one.

Before you go

  • Tell someone where you'll be. Share the venue and the time once we've revealed it.
  • Sort your way home in advance, especially if you're drinking.
  • Tell us about access needs early so we can pick a venue that works.
  • Everything happens in the group chat until after the dinner — nobody can message you one-to-one before you've met.

On the night

  • All of it is optional. You can leave at any point, without explaining.
  • Keep an eye on your drink and your things.
  • Hold back address, phone number and socials until you want to share them.
  • Check allergens with the restaurant directly. We choose venues that can cater, but we don't cook the food.

Afterwards

  • Use Connect to swap contacts. It only opens once you've both agreed.
  • Never send money to someone you met here, however good the reason sounds.
  • If something felt wrong, report it. You don't need proof and the person is never told who reported them.

If you're in danger

Call 999. Our reporting form reaches a person in hours, not seconds — it isn't an emergency service. Report it to us afterwards as well, so we can act on the account.
