At UAL, we know that some of the most meaningful moments in student life happen not in lecture theatres or studios, but around the table.
That's exactly what inspired Table for Who?, a unique social experiment full of heartfelt and funny moments where two strangers sit down for a meal in one of our canteens without seeing each other, then have to get to know one another better to guess what meal they'd pick from the menu.
Watch what happens when Alison and Sanath come together for the first time at Central Saint Martins canteen over a meal!
Even across different courses, backgrounds, and styles, they show us that there's always common ground when food is involved.
You don't need a big reason to talk to someone, whether it's ordering an iced latte in our cafés at the same time, asking about their favourite dish on the menu or sharing a funny story. All you need is a table, two chairs, and some good food.
Want to give it a go? Next time you grab lunch, look up, say hey and ask what someone else is eating.
The food’s great – but the company could be even better.
