Let’s take a look at some highlights on offer for making those memories:
Spa Breaks
What better way to treat your loved one than to treat yourself at the same time? Whether you’re after a long weekend away or can only cram in an afternoon of pampering, there are plenty of incredible offers to browse.
There’s the Montcalm East Hotel and Spa deal for two price at £178 down from £260, including a spa day with three-hour access, a 30-minute back massage, and a three-course taster menu. Situated near Old Street station in Shoreditch, this is an ideal way to block out the city bustle without having to venture beyond the M25.
In South London, there’s the Crystal Palace Spa offering a £102 package for two that’s been marked down from £240. This one includes a 90-minute Turkish Hammam and Moroccan Bath experience, which is sure to get those tense shoulders back to their supple best. If you and your partner could do with some weight off – in a spiritual sense – this is the place to be.
Meals for Two
Good eats are rarely a bad idea for a date night, especially on Valentine’s. Japanese cuisine is first on the menu, with meals available from £9.95 down from £15.48 at The Sushi Co — ideal for lovers of katsu and sashimi alike, with top-drawer service and comfy locales in which to chow down.
If sharing plates are more your style, pounce on the four tapas and two cocktails or a bottle of wine deal at All Bar One, priced at £29.95 for two down from £56.70. This one’s a great pick for convenience: if you’re in central London, finding a local All Bar One within spitting distance of home is usually as easily as looking up the street.
For a Mediterranean experience, go for the set menu for two at the Real Greek deal, priced at £29.95 down from £62.90. Hot meze, cold meze, and sides are all on the menu, featuring Greek culinary staples such as tzatziki, spanakopita, falafel, fried calamari, grilled aubergine, and much more.
Last, but by no means least, sometimes all you want is a burger and a pint. BrewDog has you covered there with the For Two: Burger and Fries with Flight of Beers deal for £34.99 down from £74.50. If your loved one is as happy as you are to spend Valentine’s washing down a burger with a pint of Punk, you’d best put an onion ring on it ASAP.
Groupon has a stellar reputation at Trustpilot, with a 4 out 5 rating averaged from almost 57,000 reviews. “Good discount on the product I purchased. Excellent communication from the third party. I would recommend it to anyone interested in their products. Third time I’ve used Groupon, no issues,” said one five-star review.
“Really easy transaction,” said another happy customer. “Bought discounted tickets and printed them to bring along to the event. Saved over 50% of the full ticket price. I love a Groupon!”
Another said: “Love Groupon for last-minute gifts or new places to try. Whether it’s a 60-minute massage or a 5-course tasting menu, and everything in between!”
Third-party sellers who don’t live up to expectations tend to be the main draw for criticism. “Item I bought would not download, the supplier was very unhelpful and abrupt and promised a refund. I’m still waiting 15 days later as they are not responding to Groupon,” said a three-star review.
Elsewhere, there’s a very good deal at Wowcher to consider: the Michelin Star Dining Experience for 2 in London from £80. At Virgin Experience Days, you could opt for the Raymond Blanc’s Heartwood Inns Gastro Pubs Three Course Meal with Prosecco for Two deal from £81.
