In each episode, one lucky person is given the chance to find true love over three meals, each cooked by a blind date in their own home.

At the start of the programme a single guy or girl is given five three-course menus to choose from, each carefully put together by a potential date eager to make an impression. The guest picks three dinner dates purely on the basis of which menus they prefer – they know nothing of the person who designed each menu. Over the next three nights they meet the lucky three they have chosen, going to each of their homes for the three-course dinner they have designed.

When all three home-cooked meals have been completed, the dinner guest chooses one of their three hosts to take out for a romantic meal for two at a restaurant. But what the dinner guest doesn’t know is that after each date the hosts awards their guest a mark out of five depending on how much they liked them.

The second season of Dinner Date will be broadcast from Monday, 5 November at 21:00 on BBC Lifestyle, channel 174 on DStv.
