Choose KF.Social if you want a small London dinner arranged for you. Choose a suitable Meetup group if you want to select an organiser, activity or recurring community yourself. Neither format guarantees friendship; the useful distinction is how you want to make the plan.
This guide is published by KF.Social. We sell the KF.Social dinner described here; this is not an independent review or a claim to have attended every competitor’s events. Competitor details below refer to their linked public pages, checked on 25 September 2026. Actual dates, local prices and terms should be checked before booking.
What you choose yourself
Meetup is built around groups and events across many interests. Look at the specific listing for its group size, price, organiser and cadence. It is misleading to describe every Meetup as a large event or to assume all listings are free.
KF.Social arranges the restaurant and matches the dinner group. You choose a published date and share interests for matching. Our current London dinner is useful for someone who wants one concrete evening without organising it.
What a KF.Social dinner includes
KF.Social currently runs one London dinner a week, on Thursdays at 7pm London time. The schedule may change or expand; check the published dates before making plans. A £15 matching fee covers matching your table and booking the restaurant. Food and drinks are paid separately at the venue. You can book on the web without a required membership or app download.
The table is arranged for six, matched by age and interests. The restaurant is revealed six hours before dinner; your group and its chat open one hour before. Booking closes six hours before the sitting. Optional Premium membership reduces the booking fee to £5; membership is £8.99 monthly or £49.99 annually.
Cancel at least 72 hours before the dinner for a card refund of the matching fee. Inside 72 hours it is not refunded. If KF.Social cancels, the matching fee is refunded in full. Read the booking terms and current dates.
Evidence before you choose
See our sourced app ratings and dinner feedback. App ratings describe the app; dinner scores describe an evening. We keep those samples separate. Read what to expect at your first dinner, including arriving alone and paying the restaurant bill.
