The application
Tick every one that works and you'll be placed at one of them. Bocconcino, 19 Berkeley Street, Mayfair, 19:30.
A person reads your application and places the table. You'll hear by text within three days, and there is nothing to pay until you're accepted. Apply by the Friday for a Thursday; after that you're read for the one after.
Something a stranger could actually do: a contact, an honest read, advice from someone who has been through it, a trade who answers the phone. Not a flat to rent, not a job for your cousin, not money.

This might read as a classified. A person will read it; you may want to say what you'd ask a stranger to actually do.
Printed on a card in your own words, or words you approve by text first. If it touches something sensitive, we'll ask you separately whether you want it on a card at all. Examples: a plumber who answers the phone · someone who has moved a parent into care · an honest read of my CV.
Someone at your table needs this.
—
Work out whose it is on Thursday.
No name on it, ever. The person holding it works out it's yours over dinner, or doesn't. Change the wording
Your job, in a few words. 'Nurse', 'runs a bakery', 'between jobs, was in advertising' all do.
Used for a spread of trades at the table, and so no two guests share an employer. Never shown to anyone.
Some favours need one. Tick all that apply.
An industry, a place, a world you know people in: 'the Southampton boatyards', 'NHS pharmacy', 'Brazilian London'.
A person places the tables and keeps them mixed; this is the only reason we ask.
Everything from the club comes by text to this number. It is never shared.
First names only at the table. Your surname is for the post.
It goes first class on the Monday and is deleted from our records eight weeks after you sit unless you come back (for the first Thursdays, eight weeks from 14 December 2026; the terms give the dates).
Box 1 covers the texts. The ones a seat you've paid for needs come with the seat whether or not you tick it; ticking adds the Monday digest, and STOP ends the digest, not those. The texts your seat needs: that you're accepted and how to pay; that your card is in the post; a Wednesday reminder carrying the card's content; a Thursday-morning reminder; the Sunday questions; and, if you're introduced, the introduction and a day-14 check. Only the middle box is needed to apply.
Thanks. A person reads every application.
You'll hear by text within three days. Nothing to pay until you're accepted, and then it's £39 plus your own bill.
If your favour needs a clearer wording for the card, we'll propose one by text and you approve it first.
