A number of restaurants are to offer diners the chance to eat dessert first.

Diners can try dessert first

Over 75% of people claim pudding is their favourite meal course, but nearly two thirds of London diners admit they hold off ordering something sweet after overindulging earlier in their meals, while 33% give in to pudding pressure and decline to order dessert when their companions opt out of doing so.

As a result, restaurant booking platform TheFork – who carried out the research – will be offering the ‘Dessert First’ dining experience from 28 March – 4 April in partnership with restaurants including 28:50, Silver Birch, Hush and Mathura across the UK capital.

Patrick Hooykaas, Managing Director at TheFork said: “TheFork is all about bringing happiness through amazing dining experiences, that’s why we’ve created Dessert First Week, giving the 75% of Brits preferring to eat puddings first the option to turn the traditional dining experience on its head, and let people be dictated by their taste buds and not by convention. We hope this is a refreshing reminder that there are no rules when it comes to dining out – if you want to eat dessert first, or nothing but dessert be our guest!”
