The Gourmet Society is a UK-based dining club, and one of the largest ones in the country. Each member holds a Gourmet Society restaurant discount card, which entitles them to savings at a large number of UK restaurants.

Initially developed in the Midlands in 2003, the Gourmet Society was the UKs first national diners club. Members pay an annual subscription, and receive discounts at participating restaurants. Members receive a discount card, and many members also receive a copy of the printed restaurant directory.

As of October 2013, there are over 6,500 participating restaurants in the UK and Ireland.[1][2]

Gourmet Society members get either 2-for-1 meals; 50% off food; or 25% off their food and drink bill. The discount card can be used at a wide variety of restaurants, ranging from popular restaurant chains to award winning restaurants (including a number of Michelin-starred venues)

Members also get access to discounted tickets at a large number of UK cinemas, as well as access to discounts at many UK retailers.

Membership is purchased through the website, and costs £69.95 for a year, although there are many shorter trials available. The Gourmet Society also works with a number of other companies (including the AA,[3] Barclays and Nectar[4] ) to provide users of their services with discounted memberships.
