How to plan the perfect Valentine’s Day at your local pub
Whether you’re with a partner, a best friend, or flying solo and ready to mingle (yes, that counts!), the pub is the perfect place to celebrate love in all its shapes and forms. Good food, great drink and an atmosphere that says “I love you” instead of “it’s not you, it’s me” — that’s what we’re talking about.
Set the scene, pub style
Forget awkward small tables and stiff parties. At your local pub, you’ll find warm lighting, comfy seating, maybe a cosy fire, and an atmosphere that hits the right tone between special occasion and relaxed evening.
Inside or outside? If the weather plays ball and your pub has a beer garden, grab a spot under outdoor lights, maybe wrap up in a blanket, and sip something warming.
Book smart. Use our booking form to easily secure your seat. But, if you prefer an area or any special requests, then our friendly team are more than happy to make your Valentine’s Day even more unique.
All genders, all relationships. Whether you’re celebrating long-term love, new sparks or friendship, the pub welcomes everyone. No pressure, no pretence, just good company and a good time.
Share the love (and the menu)
Because nothing says “I care” like sharing the biggest dessert on the menu. This Valentine’s Day, treat yourselves.
It might seem obvious, but we know Cupid’s favourite day can be stressful. Don’t fret, we’ve got your day covered with our menus:
- Starter for two: Think a sharing platter or some small plates.
- Main event: Go for meaty, veggie, or plant-powered flavours.
- Dessert to remember: Chocolate, cake, ice cream. You name it, we’ve got it!
Drinks to pair with the moment:
- Raise a glass of prosecco or rosé.
- Try a themed cocktail: something pink, something sparkly, something you can share.
- Not drinking? Premium mocktails or alcohol-free drinks are chilled and ready.
Valentine’s Day: The perfect plan
- Step 1: Book your spot as soon as possible. Choose any special add-ons, and our friendly team will try their best to support you.
- Step 2: Arrive 10-15 minutes early, pick your perfect seat, and settle in with a drink. Perhaps have a drink waiting for that special someone?
- Step 3: Start with something to share. Laugh, talk, play, look around — this is your time.
- Step 4: Main arrives, toast to the evening, enjoy every bite. Swap plates, feed each other fries, relax.
- Step 5: Dessert and drinks. Maybe another round, maybe a surprise mini-gift, maybe games.
- Step 6: Stay as long as you like. The pub’s open for good company, full tummies and big memories.
Go beyond the meal
The pub isn’t just for eating and drinking — it’s for making memories. Here are fresh ideas:
- Quiz for two (or more). Many of our pubs have live quiz nights, so crank up the romance by challenging the next table.
- Live sports, music, or an exclusive event — there’s no shortage of entertainment at ours.
- Pub-themed gifts — personalised pint glass, custom bar sign, or a hand-written card tucked under a coaster.
- Photo memory: Snap a selfie at the bar, use the menu or drink as a prop, tag the pub, and make it part of your story.
- One-on-one too formal? Do a “Galentine’s” or “Palentine’s”, raise glasses together, and still feel the Valentine’s vibe.
