What time do you eat dinner?

[AbsentmindedWoman]

What is your preferred time for your evening meal? We’ve been drifting later and later, I don’t mind on weekends but midweek I feel between 8 and 9pm would be good. Last couple of nights were 10.30.

When do you have dinner?

2 young kids so who take aaaages to eat and get ready for bed, so we eat between 5-530

Earlier than I'd like, tbh, but DH works nights so we do about 1815 most evenings

7ish. If I ate earlier I would be in amongst cheese and biscuits by about 10.

5-6pm. DD is only 8 so she goes up for bath etc at about 6.30. We eat lunch 12/lunch so I couldn't eat too late. I'm usually in bed asleep by 9.30

Wow this seems crazy to me. We all eat together at 5pm, we're farmers so often husband goes back out after. Even before kids and I worked full time the latest would be 6pm. I cant imagine eating at 9pm, I wouldnt get a good sleep

5.30 pm

I'm Northern

Between 6-7:30, 8 at a push but that's only if we're home later for some reason

7ish. I'd be starving by 10:30!

4-5pm usually, but I've 3 under 10 who get extremely moody if it's any later

We like to eat as a family, so we got into the habit of eating at 4.30-5pm. After 12 years it's just the normal now. And I don't eat after 6pm, so it's perfect. The children don't eat after tea either, but my husband may have a snack about 9pm.

Usually between 6 and 7. After 8 would feel too late to eat properly!

We eat around 7-8ish. We would eat later but DS goes to bed at 8:30.

Currently eating supper (dinner). Lunch was at 1pm.

At the moment, anytime between 4pm and midnight, but it's just me.
When I had Dd at home I'd aim for 6, but as she got older more towards 7/8.

She lives with her bf now and they eat at 8/9.

I aim for somewhere between 7-8pm but sometimes its closer to 9 as my kitchen is just too hot to be in.
I find if we eat too much earlier we are all hungry again by bedtime. Even eating later ds1 often has toast before bed.

Around 8pm.

It used to be about 6.30 but back in the olden days when children went to school it just felt a bit rushed. They'd get home, get a snack and chat with me and before I knew it it’d be time to start dinner.

The later dinner works well though my DC are young teens so its easier than if I had toddlers.

Depends if we’re eating with the kids - if yes, we all eat at 6.30/7ish. If not, they eat at 6.00 and we eat at 8.30/9.00ish. DH is cooking steak and chips whilst I write this in front of Kirsty and Phil with a glass of wine in hand. Happy!

I eat with the kids about 5pm. My ideal is between 6 & 6.30pm but the kids are young and we start the bath/bed routine then. When they get older we'll probably shift it.

Usually 6.30 - 7pm. DH has had surgery on his oesophagus and can't eat late because he gets dreadful reflux. We usually eat lunch at 12.

Now I’m a SAHM we eat at 5pm but when I worked office hours I’d cook as soon as I got home so it used to be about 6-6:30pm.

On an average night, in normal times, about 8.30 when I get home from work.
At the moment,whenever we feel like it. Tonight we have just finished eating but last night was at 6.
2 working adults no children.

7.30ish most nights

4-5PM

Between 6 and 7, usually. Generalisation alert, but it's a southern thing to eat your dinner late, isn't it? 9:30-10.30 is supper time to me.

5-5.30. We eat with ds and go to bed by 10.30 at the latest.
