Networking in Gorleston

Networking in Gorleston

B2B Lunch Club runs regular lunchtime networking events in Gorleston. They are relaxed and informal — two courses at a good local venue, a speaker worth the twenty minutes, and a room of business owners and managers from across the area.

There is no membership fee and no obligation to attend every one. Book the dates that suit you, and come as often or as rarely as you like.

Below you will find the Gorleston lunches that are open for booking, the venues we use, and every lunch we have held here so far.

In the room

How a lunch runs

A full room, a decent meal and conversations that carry on afterwards. Three hours, no lectern-thumping and no compulsory sixty-second pitches. Times are approximate and may differ for our Christmas event — your booking confirmation is the one to trust.

  1. Arrive at a B2B Lunch Club lunch

    12:00

    Arrive

    Most people come on their own the first time, and nobody makes a thing of it. Get a drink, find someone to talk to, and take the first half hour at whatever pace suits you.

  2. Networking at a B2B Lunch Club lunch

    12:15

    Networking

    No structured rounds, no timer, and nobody going round the room making everyone introduce themselves. It is half an hour of standing up and talking, and listening for the first ten minutes of it is a perfectly good way to start.

  3. Lunch at a B2B Lunch Club lunch

    12:50

    Lunch

    Two courses, served at the table, at a venue picked because the food is worth turning up for on its own. You will usually be sat with people you have not met, which does more for a conversation than any amount of organising.

  4. Speaker at a B2B Lunch Club lunch

    13:50

    Speaker

    Twenty minutes from somebody with something genuinely useful to say to a local business — employment law, finance, marketing, how someone grew theirs. Long enough to be worth hearing, short enough that the coffee is still warm.

  5. More networking at a B2B Lunch Club lunch

    14:10

    More networking

    The most useful half hour, and the one most people underestimate. Everybody in the room has just heard the same twenty minutes, so you have something to open with that is not the weather or the traffic.

  6. Close at a B2B Lunch Club lunch

    15:00

    Close

    Away by three with an afternoon still in front of you. Anything useful tends to happen in the days afterwards — there is no next meeting you are committed to and nobody chasing you for referrals.

We cater for vegetarians, vegans and allergies — just tell us when you book.
