I went alone a few years ago. If I remember rightly, it was through W and H magazine. Mealtimes are not such a problem, as they sit you with other people on their own. Provided, of course, you get on with them. Because it was organised by W and H, the first night they organised a dinner and 2 ladies who had come together adopted me, which was lovely. The food was delicious so don't think you'll lose weight!!

I didn't enjoy it that much and decided it was not really for me. Only went because OH was away for a few days and had always fancied trying one. I think it would be more enjoyable with a friend but of course, can only speak personally.
