Dining Option publishes practical guidance on choosing where and how to eat out. We welcome contributions from writers who can help our readers make better decisions at the table.
What we cover
We publish articles in these sections:
- Restaurant Types: the different kinds of places to eat and what to expect from each
- Ordering: reading menus, sharing dishes, asking good questions and choosing well
- Etiquette: bookings, table manners, tipping customs and dining courtesy
- Occasions: choosing restaurants for business meals, celebrations, solo meals, travel and more
- Lifestyle: food and everyday life, wellbeing and the way we eat
- Leisure & Games: evenings out that combine food with entertainment, games and leisure
What we look for
- Original work. Articles written for us and not published elsewhere.
- Usefulness. A clear reader question, answered early and in practical terms.
- Accuracy. Facts, rules and figures supported by reliable sources, ideally official or non-commercial ones, with links so readers can check them.
- Readability. Plain language, short paragraphs, clear headings and a friendly, direct tone.
- Fairness. No invented people, quotes, reviews or statistics, and no misleading claims.
We edit contributions for clarity, accuracy and house style, and we may decline articles that do not suit our readers.
How to pitch
Send a short outline rather than a finished article: a working title, the question the piece answers and a few lines on why you are well placed to write it. If you have published work you would like us to see, include a link.
Email Advertising@DiningOption.com with a short note about who you are and what you have in mind.
