I mean at restaurants etc
Less than once a year
Once a year
Once every 6 months
A few occasions over 6 months
Once every 3 months
A few occasions over 3 months
Once a month
A few occasions over 1 month
Once a week

I'm curious what is normal.

You already know what kind of replies that title is going to bait

Myself in terms of food, probably 2-3 times a month on average.

Thank god you put "I mean at restaurants"

Me, it's a couple of times a year, maybe half a dozen. Would like it to be once a month but priorities and such.

Not as often as I'd like. Used to be at least once a week, sometimes more, but situations change.

i like taking my grandchildren out for food too, they all really enjoy it and they`re well enough behaved to take anywhere.

At least once a week even if it's only for breakfast at the weekend

Less than once a month on average. We go out for birthdays, anniversary, and Valentines Day and the odd occasion in between.

If it had meant going to Greggs or McDonalds, the answer would have been several times a month. But as for pub meals, probably once every three months or so.

Used to be multiple times a week, now multiple per month - partner is a trained chef so the food is better at home

Last time was 1984 so I think I can honestly say never.

Have been put a few times recently but not for a couple of weeks or so. Table booked for the 30th with friends of ours though.

I honestly couldn't say the last time as I simply cannot remember. Might have been 1999. Which makes it even worse. Last century.

Oh wait, no, it was January 2008. Was in a hotel for 2 nights.

I try and eat out at our favourite restaurant about twice a month. We give December a miss though and start as we mean to go on in January

Usually at least once a week.

Probably more like 2 - 3 times a week.

Only when I go away, which is maybe every few months or so.

Most weekends and the odd deliveroo in the week to boot. I also go to places like Five Guys and Yo! Sushi for lunch once or twice a week.

As you can see, we've become a bit lazy with cooking recently!

I think it's hard to define what's "normal". I'm sure geography and disposable income play a large part in whether people dine out.

Usually a couple of times a week. In December, around 5 times a week.

A couple of times a month on average I would say.

We always try to go to out to different places on holiday, though, so for example when we were in Amsterdam recently it was every night.

At least once per week, sometimes twice, rarely if ever in a pub.
I don't care if the pubs have 5 star write-ups, the ambience is never the same as Plateau or Boisdale, Canary Wharf, or Le Pont de la Tour, or Blue Print, Tower Bridge.

I'll regularly eat out if I'm out for the day but only go out specifically to eat a few times a year.
