Social eating is still a great way to break the ice

Eating out can be fun and a great way to sample foods you wouldn't otherwise get a chance to try. But getting your friends to agree on a time and place can be difficult with conflicting schedules and tastes. It's a great social occasion and the perfect chance to get to know some new Manchester friends. In fact, according to research from the University of Oxford, the more frequently that people eat with others, the greater the chance they will feel satisfied and happy with their lives.

Enjoy Manchester's cosmopolitan foodie scene

The great thing about Manchester meals out with Social Circle is that we take full advantage of the diversity that the city has to offer. You can try out a variety of foods by choosing which restaurants you would like to visit from the Social Circle calendar. We have restaurants from all walks of life. You name it, we've been there: British, Indian, Mongolian, the list goes on. When we talk about diversity, that not only includes the food but entertainment provided by many of these restaurants. Turkish restaurant Efes provide a belly dancing show, Bazouki By Night includes traditional Greek plate smashing, and there's karaoke at Crazy Wendy's in Didsbury.

What to expect on a meal out with Social Circle

Each calendar month with Social Circle, there are a number of meals from which to choose. Simply decide on which one suits your taste, your schedule, and your budget (you can see the menu from the events below) and book your place. From there, you'll receive a text reminder of where and when to meet, and a host will greet you on the night.

So how does it work?

We know it’s a little unusual to turn up at an event knowing no one, so we don’t expect you to. Instead, we introduce you to the founders and then to the event host, who will make sure you’re feeling excited and not too nervous.
