Who picks up the check?

Generally speaking, in the world of debt financing, if a lender (bank, lifeco, debt fund, etc) is looking to drum up business and doing meet & greets with principals and debt advisors/brokers, who should be picking up the check for meals and entertainment?

I would think that the lender would/should be, but wondered if some of the larger debt brokers (CBRE, JLL, Eastdil Secured) are more apt to pick up the tab given their size?
