<\/p>\nWith the most romantic day of the year fast approaching, Mr Lender\u00a0continues the mini-guide to Valentine’s Day by looking at the big event of\u00a0dining\u00a0out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With Valentine\u2019s Day takings expected to exceed \u00a31 billion this year, it\u2019s no surprise that a large portion of this will inevitably go to the restaurant industry due to high expectations for people to wine and dine their partners.<\/p>\n
In a survey by OpenTable<\/a><\/strong>, the UK’s leading restaurant booking site, they discovered that 2\/3 of women would rather be taken out for a meal on Valentine\u2019s Day than be given flowers, and so\u00a0over 26% of us\u00a0plan to celebrate this February 14th by dining out.<\/p>\n A lot of people were\u00a0probably extremely organised and had their Valentine\u2019s Day meal booked well in advance, but over 30% of us leave it to the last minute to book, sometimes even waiting until 14th February itself.<\/p>\n To save you searching for the best deals, we have scoured the internet and created a list of well-known restaurants that are\u00a0offering vouchers or set menus to suit every budget.<\/p>\n Now set menus offer\u00a0great value for money, but people often forget that the price displayed is \u2018per person\u2019 and that drinks are normally not included. \u00a0So we have put together a quick\u00a0price guide with rough\u00a0prices* for drinks, etc to give you an idea of how much the whole meal might cost you**, that way there are no nasty surprises when the waitress brings the bill.<\/p>\n Dining alone this Valentine\u2019s? We have just the thing…<\/strong> As Valentine’s Day has been and gone, so have the offers!
