Greggs is offering a romantic Valentine’s Day meal with a difference
Steak bake anyone?
Last updated 30th Jan 2018
We’re fast approaching that time of year, when the world goes all heart-shaped chocolates and red and pink roses. Valentine's Day is when it is practically impossible to get dinner reservations, and if you do, you’re tricked into extortionate set menus and find yourself surrounded by love-struck couples.
But while some have booked tables at fancy restaurants, or are breaking the bank on luxury weekends away, Greggs has the perfect solution - for those who want a more low-key affair.
Instead of a romantic meal for two in an expensive restaurant, you could opt to treat your other half to a candlelit dinner for two at your local Greggs. Really!
Before you turn your nose up at the prospect of a chicken bake and a jam doughnut, Greggs are pulling out all the stops for Valentine's Day. They’re even throwing in a complimentary bottle of Prosecco.
“We’re transforming selected shops into restaurants designed for romance, complete with mood lighting and music, roses, candles and linen tablecloths,” Greggs revealed on OpenTable.
The four-course set menu and bottle of bubbly will set you back a mere £15 for two.
Here's what diners will be tucking into as part of the Greggs Valentine's set menu:
Starter: A composition of canapés – seasoned pork and puff pastry slider, steak & blue cheese en croute, katsu tortilla wrap béchamel toasted honey cured ham square and tomato gazpacho.
Main course: Your choice of signature Greggs puff pastry parcel, freshly baked to order and accompanied by oven roasted spiced potato slices, garnished with fresh apollo and spinach leaves.
Dessert: A brochette of miniature doughnuts, deep fried and rolled in sugar, paired with a rich butterscotch flavoured dipping sauce.
Petits Fours and Coffee (v fancy): Belgian dark chocolate brownie, raspberry and almond bite and caramel shortbread accompanied by freshly ground Fair Trade coffee made using our own unique blend of mild Arabica beans from Peru and Colombia and rich tasting Robusta beans from Tanzania.
Plus a bottle of Italy's finest bubbles and still or sparkling water.
