Want to know the secrets to a great night out with A Table For Six? 

There are a few simple things that help make a relaxed, fun and memorable evening for everyone.

Here are our top tips:

1. PLAN AHEAD & ARRIVE ON TIME

Traffic, parking and public transport can all be unpredictable - so leave a little buffer time! Arriving calm, relaxed and on time makes a huge difference to your night. If you’re unexpectedly running 15+ minutes late, please call the restaurant so the table can get started.

2. HELP THE CONVERSATION FLOW

The best dinners happen when everyone is curious, positive and inclusive. Great conversation starters include:

• travel
• hobbies/interests
• favourite restaurants
• weekend plans
• music, movies or podcasts

Topics best avoided on a first date? Politics, ex-partners, health complaints and turning the dinner into a therapy session 😅 

3. SUGGEST A BALANCED SEATING PLAN

If you’re one of the first to arrive, suggest alternating men and women around the table. It creates a much better flow for conversation and connections. Everyone appreciates the person who politely suggests this! 

4. EXTEND THE EVENING - AFTER DRINNER DRINKS!

Suggest after-dinner drinks nearby.  Some of the best conversations and connections happen after the plates are cleared away! Plus it gives you the opportunity to chat to others who were not seated nearby earlier in the evening.🍸

Most importantly - relax, be yourself and enjoy meeting new people. We hope your dinner brings plenty of laughter, connection and maybe even a little bit of magic ✨
