My experience was great

My experience was great as it was a fun way to meet new strangers. The activity and the location were great! Was matched with people that I got along with. Loved that before the bowling, we had like 30 mins-1hr to mix with the other groups and there was karaoke, darts and pool. Would do it again! Well organised

Enjoyable, exciting, experience

I’ve been twice to a Storiboard Club event both dinners, although there are other options on different nights depending on your location.
Bowling, darts, Karoke, Board games - I’ve not tried yet; but I’m planning to soon.
Booking up is easy and after a short questionnaire, you’re ready to choose your location and event.
Membership can be monthly, I chose a yearly subscription as thought I’d enjoy it - there might be other options.
You find out your location day before - and communication is excellent with Storiboard team if you have any issues or questions.
You turn up at your location and are ready to meet different, interesting people; you pay for your dinner or activity but usually there’s some great discounts.
I’d thoroughly recommend the experience, it’s great meeting new people; just in a small group.
If you want to keep in contact- that’s up to you, or just appreciate the night for what it is - a fun, experience with new people.

Nice evening out

Really easy to book, the restaurant knew exactly what I was on about and there were actually 2 groups - 6 on my table including me. A mix of genders (4 guys and 2 girls) and ages and they were all really nice. The restaurant was nice and food was good - I had a nice evening out!

Highly recommended

I had a lovely evening. There were 4 of us (rather than 6, 2 people dropped out) which made conversation flow better. We all got on great, ordered the same thing from the menu in the classy, but quite reasonably priced, Hotel du Vin which I'd never been to before. We exchanged numbers at the end and plan to keep in touch. Highly recommended 🙂

Thank you so much, Ben! We’re really glad to hear you had such a great evening – and love that the smaller group helped the conversation flow even better. Hotel du Vin is a fantastic spot, and it’s wonderful to hear you all connected so well you’re staying in touch. That’s exactly what StoriBoard is all about. Highly recommend having you back anytime!

Extremely DisapExtremely Disappointing Experience with Storyboard Clubpointing Experience with…

I initially had a frustrating experience with Storyboard Club regarding the subscription cancellation process, which wasn’t as intuitive as expected. However, I want to commend the team for how quickly and professionally they handled the issue once it was raised.

There team reached out to me, promptly cancelled the subscription, and ensured everything was resolved smoothly. I really appreciated the direct communication and swift action.

While my initial experience left me unsure, the way they responded clearly shows they care about their members and are committed to improving the service. Every company can run into issues, what sets them apart is how they respond, and Storyboard Club handled it admirably. Thank you for turning the experience around.

Hey Chris,

Thanks for getting in touch. It's really nice to hear from you.

I've had a look into this and couldn’t find any prior communication from your side, so I can understand how this might have felt unclear.

It seems there may have been a mix-up between deleting your account and cancelling your subscription. You can manage your subscription anytime via this link: https://dinner-club.checkoutpage.com/portal, and this is also explained in our FAQs.

You also mentioned that we don’t offer customer service. I want to reassure you that we absolutely do. We’re available seven days a week via both email and WhatsApp. We’re always here to help and never aim to mislead or avoid communication.

It looks like the cancellation process might have been missed as well. We've outlined it in a number of places, including our FAQs, to make it as straightforward as possible.

We’ll certainly take your feedback on board and look at how we can make things even clearer.

If there's anything else we can do to help, we're here.

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.

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

Hi Adrian – thank you so much for the kind words and honest feedback. We’re really glad you had fun and found the environment welcoming, even if the age mix felt a bit off at first. We’re working on making matches even tighter – including age – so this is super helpful to hear. We’d love to welcome you back again soon for another great night (with even better matching!).

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 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 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.
