Questions, answered
Is this a dating app?
Sort of — but there's no swiping. You come as a Pair with a friend, we match you with another Pair and book a real table.
Who can join?
Anyone 18 or over who passes our ID and selfie check. We store the result and your age, never your ID images.
How much does it cost?
A £15 seat fee per person secures your table. Food and drinks are paid at the restaurant.
What if I need to cancel?
Free cancellation up to 48 hours before, with a full refund. Inside 48 hours or no-shows keep the fee. If the other Pair cancels, you get a credit and a priority rematch.
When do I find out where we're going?
The venue is revealed 24 hours before. That's also when the group chat for your table opens.
What happens after the date?
The next morning you each privately rate everyone at the table. Only mutual "Would see again" picks unlock a 1:1 chat. Nobody sees non-mutual answers.
Is Second Course in my city?
We're live in London first. Other cities open once enough Pairs sign up — join the waitlist and you'll be first in.
