Frequently Asked Questions

What's a good Valentine's gift for a couple who love their food?

The Secret East London Fine Dining Experience is nine courses at a location that isn't revealed until you've already booked — properly romantic, in an “I trust you completely” sort of way, from £90. Pasta Making with Bottomless Prosecco covers proper pasta technique with, as billed, bottomless Prosecco — a combination that tends to end in flour everywhere and no regrets, from £84.

Are there romantic Valentine's gifts that aren't a restaurant booking?

Sunset Paddleboard through London drifts past houseboats and waterside gardens as the light goes gold, from £89. Sip and Paint Experience for Two pairs a shared creative activity with drinks, no experience required and no judgement if it goes badly, from £64.

What if I want to go all out this Valentine's Day?

VIP Glimpse of London Tour with Champagne tours the skyline with a glass of Champagne along the way, from £124. Secret Tasting Menu Experience For Two is the full splash-out — three courses, one secret location, no clues given in advance, from £299.

Is there a good creative gift for a couple who'd rather make something together?

Terrazzo Experience in London has you build a colourful plant pot in a Shoreditch studio, from £69, and at least one of you gets to take it home without an argument about wall space. For something a little more unexpected, Hot Tub Boat London gets you steaming through the Docklands in a wood-fired, self-drive hot tub, from £149.

What if Valentine's Day sneaks up on me?

Not a problem — eVouchers arrive within 15 minutes of ordering, so a forgotten February the 13th is entirely recoverable. If you'd rather they choose the evening themselves, a Super Voucher hands over the decision and lets you off the hook.
