Don't watch it, so what about who picks up the bill?

Men seem to be better paid than women anyway, but that's another topic for a different thread.

They don't actually pay the bill, its TV land .

Question Author

Do they give the bloke the money back at the end?

jackthehat

It wasn't his money in the first place....

gingejbee

I think you'll find that Channel 4 pays for everything.....

Smowball

Each 'dater' gets given £25 towards the meal/drinks. Anything over that they then have to pay for.

I've been to that actual restaurant they film it in. They use it a couple of times a week. £25 would pay for your main and that's it, so all the drinks, puddings, starters etc have to be paid for. Mind you, they're all kept in a 'holding pen' for an hour beforehand which does have free booze, which sort of explains why some of them come out with such outrageous comments when they first meet! Lol

I know they are cringemaking some of the things they say, love this show ....
