This is one of the best companies around in terms of nice people and decent assignments. One thing to note - most of the assignments do not pay a fee. However, the reimbursements are usually generous enough for two people to have a meal fully paid for, and depending on the type of restaurant you may be able to take additional people too. All of their clients are listed on their home page so you can get a flavour (no pun intended) of the sort of places you might get the chance to visit.

They are currently looking for people in the East, Midlands, North, South East (not London) and South West of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

Thank you for this - I love eating out and have just applied (I had to write a 250 word report of a recent dining experience as part of the application). )

The reports can be quite lengthy and they do ask for detail, but I'll do pretty much anything for dinner, bed and breakfast in a 5* hotel or pizza lunch with a friend! :p

Although I haven't joined this company myself this is one that I have heard nothing but good things about so am interested in how you get on well with them, especially if hotels etc are involved

Just to warn you, as per their terms and conditions, you aren't allowed to mention that you mystery dine for them....but you can talk about them. They're pretty strict about it.

But they're great!

Thanks for posting.
A lady I used to work with had nothing but praise for this company. She had some really good evenings out.

The nearest assignments are only in the lovely Slough :-\ ....... but I do shop there sometimes so it'll come in handy and will be an easy one to gain some experience from

Anyone else heard back? x

I assume it is the same as other mystery shopping companies.. If you want to talk about them just be vague

Unlike other mystery shopping companies though you can see on their homepage - without being logged in - the sorts of companies they are working with. I would presume saying whether or not you are working for them, and what places you are going to on which days would be unwise though.

Thanks for the link. You say you do the hotel reviews as well...do they appear very often? I'm going to apply for those too!

Thanks everyone, I have just received an email to say my application has been accepted and my login details.

Got 30 days now to read the handbook and complete the test! Is there much to do? ::)

Looking forward to my first assignment ;D
