Stuck in a romantic rut?

Everyone loves chocolates and flowers, but in a hectic world, the true value of Valentine’s Day is often taking time out of our busy schedules and spending some quality time together, and the legendary St Valentine is a good excuse to do just that!

We’ve popped together a list of 5 ideas, some are fancy, some casual and comfortable, but all are sure to make for a romantic time together. So, whether it’s your first Valentine’s Day as a couple or you’ve had decades of sharing your bond of love, 14 February 2023 is going to be another year of adding to those treasured memories together.

Make them breakfast in bed

Switch your phones to silent and pop them out of arms reach so you can enjoy a lovingly cooked breakfast together in bed. Make it special with themed delights such as heart shaped crumpets smothered in strawberry jam or some hand-picked flowers from the garden.

Give 14 reasons why you love them

On 14th February give 14 reasons why you appreciate them being in your life. For each reason given attach relevant little gifts. If they make you laugh, attach tickets for a local comedy night, or they make awesome poached eggs, attach a bag of fried egg sweets. You can get really creative, and this thoughtful gesture will really show you care.

Cook a fancy meal

Pop on some candles, a favourite playlist and create a menu of some delicious dishes and serve alongside their favourite beer or wine. You don’t want to be spending too much time locked away in the kitchen, so keep it simple with sharing plates which keep dinner nice and intimate. Think tapas selections, pizzas and profiterole stacks and order in an Everards Night in Box which contains beers to suit each course alongside nibbles to enjoy whilst the foods in the oven.

Enjoy an experience together

For food and drink lovers why not discover flavours together on a guided tour, a couple of our favourite choices are Rothley Wines where you can visit their stunning vineyard or join us on our award-winning brewery tour where you can take a behind the scenes peek of our brewery, and sample our great beers.

Go out for dinner

The perfect excuse to get dressed up. Book your favourite pub or restaurant, or head back to the place of your first date. Another fun idea is to sample lots of local eateries and bars in the area and enjoy a different course in three different restaurants, this is a great chance to discover new places to enjoy together. Find your local Everards pub.
