Supper clubs and dinners with new people, near you
There is a particular kind of evening that only happens around a long table: a dozen people, three conversations going at once, nobody looking at the time.
You can't book that. You can book a table, but the table is the easy half — the hard half is a dozen people who are all free on the same Thursday and happy to sit next to someone they've never met.
So it tends to happen only where somebody is willing to organise it, over and over, for everyone else. That's the job Neya took.
Somebody suggests it. Neya does the rest.

What Neya does for dinner
- Gathers people nearby who like eating out and are free that week
- Settles the night before everyone's diary fills up
- Keeps a running headcount so whoever books knows what to book
- Reminds everyone the day before, so the table isn't half empty
This is what it looks like

Any questions?
- How much does it cost?
- Whatever the meal costs — everyone pays their own way. Groups usually pick somewhere mid-range and say so in the plan, so nobody arrives to a surprise.
- I'm vegetarian. Does that work?
- Yes, and it's worth saying in the chat when the place is being picked rather than after. That's normally when somebody else says they are too.
- Do I have to talk to everyone?
- No, and at a table of ten you couldn't anyway. Most people end up properly talking to the three or four nearest them, which is the point of a long table.
