Would YOU charge six strangers to come for dinner? A tantalising trend - or a recipe for disaster...
The doorbell rings and I freeze. My kitchen looks as if it’s been hit by a bomb. The table hasn’t been set, I’ve been chopping onions for what feels like hours and there’s a pan of burning caramel puffing black smoke on the stove. I’m hosting a dinner party and, as usual, I’m running late. But this is no average evening in with friends. For a start, I have absolutely no idea who is on my doorstep.
When whipping up a big family meal, it can be easy to make a little too much. But instead of putting leftovers in a tub at the back of the fridge, you could serve them to a stranger – and make some extra cash.

WeFiFo: the 'affordable' supper club coming to rural England
WeFiFo, a supper club start-up that celebrity chef Jamie Oliver claims has the potential to create “the largest and most diverse restaurant group in the world”, has raised £350,000 in angel investment to launch and roll out its platform nationwide. The venture, which was founded by serial entrepreneur Seni Glaister, aims to help home cooks across the UK turn their kitchen tables into money-spinners by focusing on the "affordable" end of the market.
Would YOU let a stranger dine at your house for FREE?
WeFiFo, which was launched last month by entrepreneur Seni Glaister, has been growing in popularity across the UK as aspiring cooks open their homes to strangers. According to website, whose name is derived from ‘We Find Food', anyone can host an event whether it is a dinner at your kitchen table, a BBQ at the beach or a picnic in the park. Ms Glaister said: “We want to provide enthusiastic home cooks with the opportunity to build a career.”
The Book People co-founder and former c.e.o. Seni Glaister is preparing to release "Airbnb for the dining table". WeFiFo (short for "We Find Food") enables home cooks to connect to the "thriving UK supper-club community" and help them find them "a larger audience", letting them promote and sell seats at their supper clubs through its website, on which guests and hosts will later leave feedback on the dining experience.
