The Art of Conversation

Seated dinner · 40s & 50s · 20 guests · Private Members’ Club Marylebone

Twenty guests, and a semi-private room that felt just removed enough from the wider party to let things soften into something more interesting.

Most had come via our larger mixer (120 guests, a lively start), but dinner does what it always does. It settles people. The noise drops, the edges round off, and conversations begin to land properly.

The guest list was lightly curated, and seats moved between courses, which quietly solves everything.

On the table: sharing plates (Caesar, crispy duck with avocado and pomegranate), glasses of wine, and no pressure to impress.

And then, as ever, it clicked.

By the end, that easy hum of a room getting on rather well, laughter in the corners, and the sense that a few conversations might usefully continue elsewhere.

“I felt like I had three blind dates in one night – but in a good way.”

Which, really, is the point.

Low Lighting, Good Decisions

Seated dinner · 30s & 40s · 26 guests · Belgravia

Twenty-six of us gathered at Kahani on an October evening, Belgravia doing its usual quiet work, low lighting, polished room, the sense you’ve made a good decision.

Rendezvous, better known for its larger (and slightly older) affairs, shifted things gently here. Same idea, good food, good wine, and people worth meeting, just a little more fluid.

Drinks from 7, then dinner, with guests moving between courses, enough to mix things up without making a point of it. By the second course, it had settled.

The Dawat menu delivered: lamb seekh kebabs, a notably good chicken makhani, and a chocolate flan no one argued with. A white Rioja, Tempranillo and Taylor’s Vintage Port saw things through.

Service was attentive and unshowy, happily keeping pace with a group enjoying itself.

“Food, ambience, location – all amazing.”
“Staff so attentive and friendly.”
“Top marks all around… it felt like the venue was just for us.”

People left slowly. Some later than intended. Which is usually all you need to know.

Summer & Sociability

Book tickets

 

Summr & Sociability | Tuesday 29th July | The Bar at 12 Hay Hill
6:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Summer has a wonderful way of making people more sociable. We stay out later, accept invitations we’d normally decline, and find ourselves talking more openly to people we wouldn’t normally meet.

We’re gathering at the beautiful Bar at 12 Hay Hill, one of Mayfair’s most elegant private members’ clubs, for an evening of relaxed introductions, excellent cocktails and a room full of interesting single people.

Tucked away in the heart of Mayfair, 12 Hay Hill is one of those places that feels as though you’ve stumbled upon a secret. Having survived both a fire and the Blitz, it now offers warm lighting, gleaming marble, stylish interiors and a private terrace perfect for summer evenings.

On arrival, you’ll be welcomed with a Tidal Rum cocktail. This is not the sort of rum that arrives in a novelty glass with a paper umbrella. It’s a golden Caribbean blend, finished in Jersey with rare coastal botanicals gathered on full moon tides. Slightly smoky, quietly sophisticated and exceptional taste-wise.

If you’ve joined us before, you’ll know the kind of vibrant atmosphere we achieve. Those joining us for the first time can expect a welcoming crowd, a beautiful setting and a room full of intelligent, cosmopolitan professionals who know how to enjoy a good conversation.

We always keep the numbers of men and women equal as it makes for a more relaxed atmosphere, better conversations and, frankly, better odds.

If single tickets are no longer available, it’s worth checking whether a double ticket remains. Bring a wingman (or woman) of the opposite sex and make an evening of it together.

So here is the unbeatable combination – a private members’ club, premium cocktails and an exceptional group of single people. Add the Maclynn and Rendezvous team into the mix, on hand throughout the evening to make introductions, keep the energy flowing and ensure everyone feels at home, and what’s the result?
