A Waikato woman has launched a new business idea that aims to help people expand their social circle.
Table of Eight focuses on organising a dinner out with like-minded people, designed with those in mind who find it hard to get out and meet new people.
Letitia Buckle launched Table of Eight in March as a way for people to form friendships over good food.
"The concept came from watching the TV show Come Dine With Me and I loved the idea that strangers could get together and have some fun, eat great food, drink good wine, and have the possibility of becoming friends," Letitia says.
There are three options: fine dining, pub, or bistro in Te Awamutu, Hamilton, and Cambridge, and the cost includes a set menu three course meal and complimentary drink on arrival.
