Join Get A Social Life for a relaxed and friendly 3-course social dinner, perfect for anyone who enjoys good food, good conversation and meeting new people.
Many people attending our events come on their own, so please don’t worry if you don’t have anyone to come with — you certainly won’t be the only solo guest.
Come along, step out of your comfort zone, meet some new people and enjoy a lovely Friday evening together.

## PERFECT FOR SOLOS, FRIENDS & COUPLES

Don’t worry if you don’t have anyone to come with.
Our events are very welcoming to solo guests and the majority of people attending our social events come on their own.
There’s no awkward walking into a restaurant and sitting by yourself. This is a hosted evening where everyone is there to socialise, enjoy themselves and hopefully make some new connections.
Come as strangers, leave having made new connections.

## IMPORTANT – YOUR MEAL MUST BE PRE-ORDERED

All meals must be pre-ordered at least 7 days before the event.
The pub is currently serving its summer menu. As our Get A Social Life dinner takes place in November, the summer menu will be replaced by the pub’s autumn/winter menu before our event.

### Vegetarian & Vegan Options

Vegetarian and vegan choices will be available.
Please let me know about any vegetarian, vegan, allergies or other dietary requirements when submitting your meal choices.
Dessert choices and the final starter and main-course options will be confirmed once the autumn/winter menu is released.

## AFTER BOOKING

Once you have purchased your ticket, please email:
contact@getasociallife.co.uk

Your full name
Your mobile number
Any dietary requirements
Once the new autumn/winter menu is available, I will send it to you so you can choose:
1 Starter

Your final meal choices must be submitted at least 7 days before the event.
Pre-ordering is important so that the restaurant can prepare in advance and the evening runs smoothly for everyone.

## LIMITED SPACES – BOOK EARLY

Because of the size and layout of the upstairs dining space, once all the seats have been booked, we will not be able to simply add extra places.
Please book early to avoid disappointment.

PARIS FOR THE DAY – SMALL HOSTED GROUP

We’re off to Paris for the day!

Join us for a fabulous hosted day trip to one of the most beautiful cities in the world, perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy Paris without the hassle of organising everything themselves.

We’ll travel from London to Paris by Eurostar and spend the day exploring the city together as a small hosted group.
A highlight of the day will be a relaxing lunch cruise along the River Seine, where we can enjoy our meal while taking in some of Paris’s most famous sights from the water.

During the day, we’ll also have time to see some of the city’s iconic landmarks, enjoy the Parisian atmosphere, take plenty of photos and have some free time to explore, shop or simply sit at a café and watch the world go by.

This trip is perfect for solo travellers, friends and couples. Most people attending our events come on their own, so you’ll be warmly welcomed and introduced to the group.
Expect a fun, relaxed and sociable day with good company, beautiful scenery, great food and the chance to experience Paris without needing to stay overnight.

A wonderful little escape from London and a chance to say: “I went to Paris for lunch on the river Seine!”

Let’s explore Paris together! I’ll be hosting and bringing everyone together throughout the day, but as I don’t know the city inside out, we’ll navigate Paris as a group and enjoy discovering the sights together.

Small hosted group, spaces will be limited.
Maximum 12 guests

Perfect if you’re coming solo, enjoy Paris without waiting for friends to travel with you.

Minimum of 6 guests required for the trip to go ahead.

## Itinerary

6:30am – Meet at London St Pancras International

8:01am – Eurostar London → Paris
Around 11:20am – Arrive Paris Gare du Nord

### 11:30am

Go directly for lunch, this is beside the Eiffel Tower and where the lunch cruises depart.

### 12:15pm – Arrive at Eiffel Tower

Allow time to find the boat, check in and take a few photographs.

### 12:45–2:45pm – Seine River Lunch Cruise

This is the centrepiece of the day and gives everyone the chance to see many major Paris landmarks while having lunch.
You should see sights including the Eiffel Tower, Musée d'Orsay, Louvre area, Notre-Dame area and many of Paris's famous bridges.

### 2:45–3:15pm – Eiffel Tower photographs

Once you leave the boat, spend around 30 minutes around the Eiffel Tower and Seine.

### 3:15pm – Head to Arc de Triomphe

### 3:30–4:00pm – Arc de Triomphe

Photographs and a look around the famous monument.

### 4:00–5:30pm – Champs-Élysées

Walk down the Champs-Élysées, browse the shops, stop for coffee, wine, pastries or dessert and give everyone a little free time.
People who don't want to shop can simply enjoy the area and Paris atmosphere.

### 5:30–6:00pm – Optional drink / café stop

Have a final drink or coffee together before heading back.

### 6:00pm – Leave Champs-Élysées for Gare du Nord

We will aim to be at the station at approximately 6:30–6:45pm.
That gives us a comfortable buffer for Eurostar ticket, security and passport checks. Eurostar says passengers should follow the recommended arrival time on their ticket, and Standard/Plus ticket gates close 30 minutes before departure, so I wouldn't risk arriving close to 7:30pm.

### 8:00pm – Eurostar Paris → London

We should arrive back at London St Pancras at approximately 9:30pm UK time, depending on the exact service.

Early bird: £215 For the first 6 people

### Meeting Arrangements

We will meet near the Eurostar departures area at London St Pancras International.
Please arrive no later than 6:30am so that we have plenty of time to meet as a group and complete the Eurostar check-in and security process together.
Once I have received 6 confirmed payments, I will create a dedicated WhatsApp group for everyone attending the Paris trip.
The exact meeting point, final travel information and any important updates will be shared in the WhatsApp group before the trip.
Please make sure you arrive on time, as we will not be able to delay the Eurostar departure for late arrivals.

Wrap up warm it maybe chilly wear comfortable footwear

Hope you can join us for a great day out in Paris
