Every member is checked by a real person.

Before anyone can join a table or host one, someone from our team looks at their profile by hand, one by one.

  • Checked by handEvery new member is vetted individually before they can join.
  • Hosts say yes to every guestGuests have a photo and bio, and hosts approve each request.
  • Address only once you're inBefore that, you only see the rough area on the map.
Questions

Everything you might ask before your first dinner.

What if I don't know anyone at the dinner?

That's the point! You come to meet new people, share good food and have good conversations.

Is it safe to go to a stranger's home?

Safety comes first. Every member is checked by hand before they can join or host, guests have a photo and bio, and hosts approve each guest. You get the exact address only once you're accepted.

How much does it cost and what's included?

Guests share the cost of the groceries: the host sets a price per seat, plus a small platform fee. You see the total on every dinner before you ask to join.

I have allergies or dietary needs. Can I still join?

Yes. Every dinner lists its menu, and you share allergies or preferences with your request.

What if I need to cancel?

You can withdraw a request any time before it's accepted. Accepted seats can be cancelled in the app. Just give your host enough notice.

Can I come with a friend or partner?

Of course. Request two seats and mention you're coming together.

I want to host. How does it work?

Creating a dinner takes about two minutes: pick a menu, a date and how many seats. Guests ask to join and you approve each one. Only members we've checked by hand can ask.

Rather ask a person? Write to hello@thedinnerclub.eu and a founder answers.
