What a success

What a success! Attended a dinner and laughed so much with everyone. It is a genius way to make friends and share deep and meaningful conversations. Thank you for saving our Tuesdays! 😇
So thrilled to discover that Storiboard was founded by a female! Thank you, Karen. I'm so grateful for Team Storiboard’s work to unite so many people.

I was very nervous at first and was thinking the worse how you do. I wanted to go outside my comfort zone and meet new people local to me.

Storiboard made it very easy and I felt safe throughout the process. The booking system was easy and I was able to rescheduled if needed. I liked their 3 options of payment and I decided to do the one off to see how it went before committing to other events.

I was given the information before the event by What's App which was very clear to understand.

The event took place in a lovely funky modern restaurant in the center of Manchester. I used public transport to get to the location which was very easy to find with the help of Google Maps.

I arrived 20 mins early and got settled in my new surrounds and the other people arrived on time. It was a mix of men and women of similar age with different interests. I enjoyed hearing about their life stories.

The restaurant chosen, I felt very well looked after and they explained how it worked. The staff were friendly and the food was great. We all decided to pay for what we ate by credit cards and shared the service charge.

The whole event took about 1.5 hours and after the event we parted and went our separate ways.

This is such a great concept and I can't wait to try my next mystery dinner date.

Great alternative to online dating apps

Well organised. Well-matched small group for 7pm dinner. The food/wine was good value & great quality. The company was fun & we honestly all got on well. I would have loved to come away with a guy’s number, but ended up exchanging numbers with one of the girls 😂

Fab experience, very good value

I really enjoyed my experience with the StoriBoard Club. I met a great group of people and was seated in a delicious restaurant I probably wouldn't have discovered by myself. The 25% off discount in particular made it such good value!

Great club for lovely food and social experience.

I've used alternative clubs for these things but Storiboard customer service and quality of restaurants (with my experience so far) is better than the alternatives. Good communication whereas the others don't really provide that.

Sharing moments over dinner

I spent a wonderful evening in the company of some great people. The StoriBoard club encouraged me to get out of my comfort and do something I love (sharing memories with people over food)
I’m so pleased I went, I had the best time
