Enjoy Posh Nosh With A Meal For Two
Between a high pressure job, the kids, and daily life, finding five minutes peace a quiet can be hard work. That’s when a romantic meal for two can be a welcomed treat.
Book a babysitter and head off to a restaurant, pub or tavern and enjoy a delicious meal cooked by someone else. They’ll take care of the food, sourcing fresh ingredients and creating a mouthwatering menu. They’ll also take care of the washing up afterwards!
That leaves you plenty of time to enjoy the romantic dinner for two. Savour the taste of the food. Let time slow down as you chat about things you haven’t had the time to talk about in a while. Gaze into each other’s eyes.
Best of all, there's no washing up at the end!
Restaurants are available nationwide so there’s bound to be one near you offering a delicious bounty of food. Top restaurants are run by experienced and highly skilled chefs who will create something truly special for you. If you’d rather a more traditional meal then there are plenty of choices here too.
Looking for something a bit special? Try dining in a celebrity chef's restaurant instead.
For extra value look for experiences that include a glass each or bottle between you of Champagne or Prosecco. Some venues offer non-alcoholic alternatives too. Selected venues include a serving of coffee after the meal too.
A romantic dinner for two is an affordable yet indulgent treat that can easily be fit into an evening around family life. Give yourself the gift of an evening off and enjoy the scrumptious fruits of someone else’s labour.
Also available is a lunch for two experience which may be more convenient. Enjoy an equally delicious lunch meal at a variety of venues.
