Hear when booking opens
We’ll let you know when you can book a dinner in Manchester. See the plan, choose your night and come as you are.
The table
A seat beats a swipe.
Apps taught everyone to judge people in a photo. A table works differently. Six people, some food, and a couple of hours are enough to find out who you actually get on with.
This is the shape of a KF.Social table. It is what Manchester gets when it opens.
Six people, none of whom have met. That is the whole format.
Table starters
Never open with "so, what do you do?"
Every table needs a first question. Draw a card and try it on your next dinner. Or on the colleague next to you right now.

Communities

Chat that feels human
Group chats, voice notes and photos to keep the conversation going after the plates are cleared.
Not a dating app.
No swiping, no matches, no romance. KF.Social is for friendship: shared tables, communities and conversations with people in Manchester who want the same thing you do.

Make music part of your week
Band on the Wall offers adult Gospel and Soul and Folk and World choirs, plus Golden Voices for people aged 50 and over. Check the individual session, term dates and booking details. Making music together gives you a reason to return beyond a single night out.
Take the conversation outdoors
MAD Walkers is aimed at people in their twenties and thirties and lets prospective members try up to three walks. Choose by grade, distance and travel arrangements; some outings head into the countryside and require appropriate equipment.
Choose a Northern Quarter gig
Matt & Phred’s publishes a changing live-music programme on Tib Street. Pick a set you would enjoy and check admission and seating details. Invite a friend to bring someone new, or leave conversation for breaks if you attend independently.

How will the dinners work when they start in Manchester?
We pick the restaurant, the night and the small group, matched by age, interests and the part of the city you are in. You book a seat and turn up. Nobody hosts, nobody picks the cuisine, and you see the plan before you commit.
Is KF.Social a dating app?
No. KF.Social is for making friends: shared dinners, interest communities and group chat. Guests can choose to confirm who they are with an ID check, and you see the tick if they have.
