1. What Exactly Is a Curated Group Dinner?

Picture this: last week, six strangers laughed and bonded over tacos at The Eagle in Clerkenwell—a perfect example of how these nights spark instant connections.

5. Is It Safe to Go Solo?
Absolutely! Solo attendees are the norm, and our team verifies every participant to ensure a welcoming, secure environment. With support always on hand, you'll feel right at home among friendly strangers.
6. What If I Don't Know Anyone?
That's the beauty of it! These dinners are built for meeting new people. With just six in a group, conversations flow naturally, often leading to lasting friendships. You'll wonder why you didn't try it sooner.
7. Where Are These Dinners Held?
From hidden gem cafes to buzzing bistros, we partner with diverse London venues to keep every event fresh. Your dinner spot is revealed once you're matched—think places like The Palomar in Shoreditch or The Anchor & Hope in Waterloo.
8. How Are Groups Chosen?
Our team handpicks each group, balancing ages, interests, and personalities based on your profile. The result? Dynamic, engaging dinners where everyone brings something unique to the table.
9. Can I Bring a Plus-One?
Solo is the spirit, but friends are welcome! Just let us know during sign-up. Keep in mind, the curated mix thrives on new faces, so we'll adjust to keep the group dynamic intact.
10. What's the Cancellation Policy?
Life happens—we get it. Cancel 24 hours in advance for a full £12.99 refund. Last-minute changes? We might not be able to refund, as we'll be busy finding a replacement to keep the group complete.
11. How Is This Different From Meetups or Friendship Apps?
Large meetups are hard to talk in, and friendship apps often turn into chat that never becomes a plan. A Siena dinner is six people at one table on a fixed night, so the plan is already made and everyone gets a turn to talk.
12. What Do Attendees Think?
Here's what Londoners are saying:
"Warm, genuine vibes—I'm hooked!" — Sara, 27
"Solo nerves melted away in minutes." — Thomas, 30
"A perfect mix of people—I forgot I came alone!" — Alice, 33
"The freshest way to mingle in London." — James, 47
