It can be difficult to find fun things to do in the Winter – there’s less light in the day, and it can feel a lot harder to drag ourselves out into the colder weather. But with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, and still many cold days ahead, we’ve compiled a list of some of our favourite visits for date night!
Bringing the delights of Italy straight to your table, Bancone is the place for pasta lovers. Their hand-made pasta dishes draw inspiration from Italy, London, and much of Europe – and if that’s not enough for you, they’re a Michelin star restaurant! There’s four locations across London, and the reimbursement covers up to £70. If Italian cuisine is your thing, check out their menu, and get a mystery visit booked!
From two course meals to overnight stays, Malmaison and Hotel du Vin visits are a real treat. They’ve got stylish interiors and high-quality food, all guaranteed to leave you with a feeling of luxury! You’ll usually be asked to assess at least two courses and a cocktail/mocktail (though do ensure you double check the brief!), and reimbursements vary depending on visit type on location. If you’re looking for something classic and classy, these visits could be perfect!
With a stunning environment and beautifully presented food, a visit to Tattu is a shoo-in for a date. The interiors of these restaurants are breath-taking, all of which are unique in their own way to really immerse diners and transport them. They bring traditional elements to contemporary Chinese and Japanese cuisine, altogether offering an evening of unforgettable dining. These restaurants are based up and down the country, so have a look on the website for your nearest one, and keep an eye out for these visits! Reimbursement is up to £200 for Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds, and up to £270 for London.
While an evening of dining can be the perfect date night, sometimes we want a little more – and what’s a more iconic date than dinner and a movie? Everyman is a luxury cinema that couples together plush sofas for your seats, and a menu full of tasty meals and snacks. The friendly staff make everything seamless, making the whole experience a journey of escapism and immersion. The reimbursement covers the cost of your film tickets, and up to £30 for all food and drink. Get yourself whisked away with one of these visits!
If you prefer to do something more active, a visit to Flight Club might be the one for you. These visits are often for up to 6 diners, ideal if you’re planning a double date, or just want some quality time with a group of friends. The warming, vintage interiors make for a great atmosphere, and with the buzz of people playing games and chatting over a meal, you’ll feel right at home. The menus are full of exciting food, from pizzas and burgers, to mix and match small plates of all kinds. Reimbursement for these is a maximum of up to £25 per person, plus the cost to hire the Oche for 90 mins. You’ll make a real night of it with a visit to Flight Club, so if it sounds like your ideal evening, look out for these visits on the portal or app!
Of course, date nights aren’t just for Valentine’s Day – these visits are here for you all year round, and great to count on if you can’t decide what to do with a special occasion or free evening. Still, while it’s still chilly and it’s harder to get out there and do things, we’ve got your back!
