Just had my first dinner with 4 other people. All very interesting and it was over before I know it.
The venue was nice but perhaps a Thai restaurant wasn’t to everyone’s taste but I it had some fantastic views.
Please give it a go and see who you might meet, it’s an adventure!

I would totally recommend
I went to my first Tuesday night in Newcastle. It was a meal at the Hotel du Vin, which was lovely but I found expensive. A small vegetarian meal and 2 drinks (lemonade and tea) cost me almost almost £40, which was not my budget but I was kinda okay with paying it for the experience. In future I think somewhere that costs under £25 would be the best option eg. A classy pub/bar or golf might be better as I wouldn’t be happy to pay that again.
I was seated by the venue at the wrong table, with the wrong group of women, but the women I sat won where so great, we had a hoot.

Hi Georgia – thank you for taking the time to share such helpful feedback. We’re so glad you still had a hoot despite the mix-up and higher-than-expected costs – and we're thrilled to hear the women you sat with made the night! We’re currently trialling more budget-friendly venues and shared experiences like bowling and Flight Club, so your £25 suggestion is really useful. Hope we can welcome you again soon – with the right table and even more laughter.

Easy sign up and booking. Fantastic way to meet new people and build connections. I was nervous to try something new at first but so glad I did.

What a fantastic idea! I had a really lovely evening and met some wonderful women who I’m meeting up with again!
A seamless experience, from completing the quiz online to finding out the location and the night itself. If you’re looking to meet new friends then I’d highly recommend Storiboard.

Great event and great people
Such a fun experience. The environment was great and there was such a wide mix of people there to connect with. So glad I took this chance. The only caveat to my experience is that I was by some margin the youngest person there which did initially make me feel a little out of place. That being said though would 100% go again

Fun!
I’ve had a fantastic experience with Storyboard! The variety of events they offer each week is amazing. From bowling and darts to karaoke and dinners. It’s incredible and great value for money. My personal favourite is the karaoke nights! It’s a wonderful way to make new friends or just have a fun night out without the hassle of planning. Highly recommend it!

Really great concept I’ve enjoyed three…
Really great concept I’ve enjoyed three storiboard dinners in Newcastle - one a tapas restaurant I know and like where there were 8 of us, an Indian / Sri Lankan restaurant where I enjoyed going to for the first time with 5 others and last night I was so excited to head to a Thai restaurant I love and have been excited to go again and met up with 7 others.
Everyone is in the same boat conversation flows, sometimes people go for drinks after and it’s also possible for Storiboard to set up a WhatsApp group afterwards if you want to stay in touch.

Three great experiences- I’m hooked!
I’ve been to 3 Tuesday night dinners in Newcastle now and each one has been fantastic. I love the mystery aspect of the restaurant reveal and I’ve made great friends each time, and we’re all still in touch and have made arrangements to meet up on weekends. It’s a great idea to make new friends and try new places - I can’t wait until we have more activities lined up in Newcastle!

A great way to meet new people!
A great way to meet new people and experience different restaurants. I particularly enjoy the Flight Club meetup in Birmingham on Monday nights. Bowling is also a lot of fun. Looking forward to the rollout of the karaoke event. Give it a try, what's the worst that could happen?

Storiboard is a genuinely enjoyable experienc
Storiboard is a genuinely enjoyable way of meeting new people and trying new experiences. Over the last few months I have made some friends from the experiences and every session is different with people of all backgrounds attending of all ages.
Storiboard is a lot smaller than their competitors who have an increased pool of restaurants to choose from for their Tuesday experience and this is currently the let down when they are repeated so you don't experience new local gems in the city. With regards to their bowling, karaoke and darts experiences these are what make Storiboard stand out. It is hard to make new friends as an adult as you get older and Storiboard has helped me build my social confidence and community and I would recommend it to anyone to try it out.

I went to one event last week bowling…
I went to one event last week bowling and met some lovely people but unfortunately only half the people showed up. I came again to another event today and nobody had turned up but myself. Very disappointing, I asked the staff member to cancel my membership as for some reason I can’t seem to log in and the forgot password link isn’t working 🙄. They said they’d give me a month free then offered to meet me themselves and come play which sounds so weird!
First event great! Second diabolical and weird.

Walked out after 2 minutes
Walked out after 2 minutes.
I looked forward to this evening so much based on the website, other reviews and what was in store. I was a little late due to a business call I had to take, but when I arrived only 2 people were there who were half my age. If people aren't going to turn up surely you should be notified so you know what to expect? The venue seemed happy that 3 of us were there. It felt like staff there were treating us like the "no friends club". I went home after a few minutes as I felt more lonely than I did when I arrived. At least it was only £10 lost. Stay alone and don't bother.

I wasn’t well matched
I went to a dinner in my nearest city, all excited and the restaurant was a good choice. However, I found it really difficult to socialise since there was a large age difference. I’m in my early-mid twenties, and the youngest on the table. Everyone else on the table were late 30s to 60s. I thought that I would be with people 10 years within my age range. I spent a lot of money travelling to the nearest city and left feeling quite underwhelmed. I wasn’t well matched to my table. My advice would be to not let it go ahead if there is too much of a wide age difference, or I should have been given the option to be postponed to a new meet-up at the very least

Hi Za – thank you for your honest feedback. We're really sorry the age mix didn’t feel right for you – that’s not the experience we want anyone to have. Our matching aims to group people within a 10-year range, but clearly something went wrong here, and we’re taking that seriously. Your point about postponing if the match isn’t right is absolutely one we follow, and we’re actively reviewing why this didn't happen here. We’d love the chance to make it up to you – feel free to reach out at theclub@storiboardclub.co.uk.

Give it a try! Nothing to lose and potentially wonderful friends to gain :)
I had such a good experience for my first storiboard dinner.
I was very nervous before getting there but so glad I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and went.
For some reason, there were 8 of us not 6. But no issue, just more great people to meet! 4 us on went on to a bar after dinner and ended up staying out until last orders… sore heads at work today, oops!
Our group got on really well, the chat flowed from the start, not awkward at all. We now even have a WhatsApp group!

I’ll Be Back
60, living alone and back in Edinburgh after 30’years away, I need to get out more. Found StoriBoard Club and took a leap of faith! Safe to say I was not disappointed- in fact it was an absolutely fantastic evening. Well organised, a great choice of restaurant, and the people in our group got on from minute 1! We are already planning our next meet up.
The team were massively helpful, encouraging and supportive.. . . As Arnie said “I’ll Be Back!” Thank you StoriBoard

It's basic but an option if you are new in town
It's a fake 'algorythm' that just preted put you with folk you have things in common with. They claim they pick 'secret gem' restaurants, but in fact the restaurant they picked was not only super basic, it was loud and super touristy. Horrible night, if politeness hadn't prevented it, I'd literally wanted to walk straight out.

We’re really sorry to hear that your evening didn’t meet expectations. We genuinely aim to create enjoyable, well-matched experiences through our matching process, and we’re disappointed to hear that it didn’t feel that way for you.
Our team puts a lot of care into selecting venues we believe offer something special - whether that’s the food, the atmosphere, or the story behind the place. That said, we understand that not every spot will resonate with everyone, and we always welcome this kind of feedback so we can keep improving.
We’re truly sorry that the night left you feeling this way, and we do appreciate you giving us a try.

It was well organised, well communicated and the group of people were good company, with good conversation.
