Free Meals for the family

Em11

I'm babysitting my little brothers for a few days this summer and am such a bad cook I'm worried about what I'm going to feed them.
So I turned to my friends for advice.
One of my friends said she saw a post on Facebook the other day talking about the Mystery Dining Company. Apparently you can eat out for free with them at some well-know restaurants?
Has anyone ever done this before? Want to make sure it's all legitimate before I get my hopes up!
Thanks!

Personally, I couldn't be bothered.

The internet is your friend for cheap and cheerful meals, get cooking
and enjoy it.

Given that you posted this on 19 March, it's rather difficult to take anything you say seriously:

Mystery Dining Applications
Hi there,
I've had trouble before when applying to be a mystery diner and being unsuccessful. I think they used to be very strict on people they accepted due to their location or written skills.
However, I believe they are being a bit more lenient with applications now.
I've now been a mystery diner for years and have done almost 500 mystery visits so far.
The Mystery Dining Company even did an interview on me not that long ago which is now on their website.
All in all, I would definitely recommend them as its great fun and there's no limit to how often you can dine as a mystery diner!

Are you perhaps posting on behalf of Mystery Dining? Or is there some other explanation? I do know that they're struggling to keep their assessors because the sums paid out rarely cover the cost of a meal, and the reports can often take the best part of a morning to complete to their satisfaction. Certainly not worth the time that has to be spent!
