The shared edit: an evening two people chose together, with a third at the table
Couples book here regularly, and the bookings that go well are always the ones where both of you have read the same page and agreed on the same name. This is a social arrangement before it is anything else: dinner, conversation, a drink somewhere pleasant, with someone who is easy company for two people rather than for one.
The tariff is the same as every other commission on this site. There is no surcharge for a second host, and an hour is £400 whether one of you is in the room or both.
Both of you in the thread
Rosie would rather hear from whichever of you finds writing easiest, and rather that person speaks for both of you than that one books and the other is surprised. Say plainly that the booking is for two, name the companion if you have chosen one, and describe the evening you both had in mind. If you disagree about the name, send two and she will tell you which of them takes couples bookings most often.
An evening that suits three people
The most common shape is dinner and a drink afterwards: four hours at £1,300, a table for three somewhere in Belgravia or by Sloane Square, and a walk back that takes longer than it needs to. Two hours at £750 works for a drink in the hotel bar and an hour upstairs. Some couples prefer daylight entirely, and a gallery afternoon or a long lunch is booked here as often as an evening is.
What she brings to it
Good company for two people is a genuine skill, and not everyone has it. It means talking to both of you rather than to whoever is more talkative, noticing when a conversation has drifted and moving it, and being entirely comfortable when the two of you have a moment that does not include her. The companions on this page do it naturally. None of them will ask what your arrangement is, and none of them needs telling how to behave in somebody else's evening.
Four plates couples ask for by name
Rosa is 25, warm, curvaceous and the easiest possible introduction for a couple booking for the first time. Thea is 29 and treats a table of three as though it were a dinner party she had been looking forward to. Lea is Belgravia based, 23 and quick to make everyone laugh. Michelle is 27, poised and very good at reading a room before she says much at all.
Where it happens
Your suite, your house, or a table first and your door afterwards; every booking here is outcall, so it is entirely your choice. A hotel suite around Victoria or the quieter townhouse rooms nearby suit a couple better than a standard double, for the same reason a duo does: there needs to be somewhere to sit. If you are at home on one of the garden squares, Rosie confirms the address in the thread and nothing more is asked of you.
Boundaries, agreed before she arrives
Say what you would like the evening to be, in ordinary language, in the first message. Rosie is unembarrassable and would far rather hear it in advance than have anyone guess. The commission covers her time and her company and nothing beyond that is on offer, which is true of every page on this site and does not change because there are two of you. Within that, the evening is yours to shape.
Notice, and changing your minds
A day's notice is plenty and the same evening is often possible. Couples do occasionally change their minds, which is entirely allowed: three hours or more before the agreed hour and the booking moves or cancels with nothing owed. Inside two hours half the figure applies, as it does across the edit. If you would rather begin with a drink and decide about dinner afterwards, tell Rosie and she will book it as two hours with room to extend.
Faces for the shared edit
Chosen for this kind of evening from what each of them enjoys. Every face in the edit may still be asked for.
The shared edit, explained
4 answers. Tap a question to open it; anything missing, ask Rosie directly.
No. The ladder is the same as every other booking here: £400 an hour, £750 for two hours, £1,300 for a four hour dinner.
One message is enough, as long as it speaks for both of you. She simply wants to know that the evening was agreed before it was booked.
Yes. Cadogan Hall, the Royal Court and Tate Britain are all within a short journey, and three or four hours covers a performance and supper afterwards.
She can, and so can Rosie. Tell her the neighbourhood and the kind of room you like and you will get two or three genuine suggestions rather than a list.
