Valentines meal out – yuk – and we’re not referring to the food!

Those couples who are planning to brave the dreaded valentine’s meal out will be suffering again this year (and not just in the pocket!) So many lovely local gastro pubs are succumbing to the valentines set menu with cringy dishes such as starters called  ‘Amuse-bouche.’ How can you share what is supposed to be bite-size unless of course you’re planning to eat only a tiny morsel! Surely most people want to taste it, in which case why order it to share?

Stick with what you do best and offer quality food, cooked well and leave the cheesy love references where they belong – in a greetings card!
