Dinner parties are normally cheaper alternatives than going out for a meal with friends. And while guests are generally expected to bring along a drink, most never expect to be charged for their food.
But that's exactly what happened to one woman, who said she was left feeling 'annoyed'. Taking to Mumsnet, she wrote: "We were invited to a friend's house for dinner. Took a bottle of good wine with us, we wouldn’t ever go empty-handed.
"Had a good meal, but they sent us a message after asking for money for each person! I thought this was crazy and I would never ask anyone to pay for their food if I invited them over!"
