About Zest Speed Dating
Looking for a genuine way to meet other singles over 50 — without apps, awkward messaging, or endless small talk?
Welcome to Zest Speed Dating, hosted at Puerto Lounge, Exeter.
This is real-life dating, made easy. A relaxed, well-run evening with just enough structure to keep things flowing — and plenty of space for natural conversation, shared laughter, and that lovely feeling of meeting someone properly, face to face.
The format is friendly and gently guided throughout, so even if it’s your first time, you’ll quickly settle in and feel at ease. You’ll meet a room full of like-minded people who are open to connection, and where possible, numbers are kept balanced to create a great atmosphere on the night.
After the event, matches are shared privately via a simple online form — so everything stays discreet, effortless, and completely pressure-free.
Just great conversation, a relaxed setting, and the chance of a spark.
How It Works
7:00 pm: Arrive, check in, and grab a drink at the bar. You’ll receive your dating sheet and assigned number.
7:20 pm: Ladies take their seats, and the gentlemen begin their rounds. Each mini-date will last 3 to 4 minutes, with a bell signalling when to move to the next date.
Midway Point: A short comfort break to refresh, mingle, or top up your drink.
9:30 pm: The evening concludes, but you’re welcome to stay, socialise, and enjoy the atmosphere.
You’ll meet around 12 people during the evening
After the event: you’ll submit your matches via a quick online form. If you both match, you’ll be introduced afterwards
