Flesh & Buns valentine's celebration

Perfect setting

The ambience of a restaurant plays a crucial role in setting the tone for the entire evening. Depending on your preferences and the stage of your relationship, you can opt for a relaxed and cosy setting or a more formal and elegant atmosphere. Picture a relaxing dinner, soft music playing in the background, and an intimate location that allows you to focus solely on each other.

Choosing a restaurant with an ambience that resonates with both your tastes and preferences will undoubtedly enhance the overall experience, creating an enchanting backdrop for your celebration of love.

Our Flesh & Buns locations offer you a choice of atmospheres to enjoy. Our Oxford Circus restaurant offers a relaxed yet glamorous atmosphere, with large windows and an airy feel.

In comparison, our Covent Garden restaurant sits next to the Seven Dials Market and is a relaxing underground haven from the hustle and bustle – dark and intimate – some say a little more edgy and cool.  So, not matter your preference, we have a Valentine’s Day restaurant for you.

Valentine's Day cocktail

Delicious drinks

What’s a celebration without some delightful drinks to accompany your meal? A Valentine’s Day cocktail is the perfect way to add a layer of romance to your evening. Explore a variety of options, from classics like the French 75 to innovative concoctions created exclusively for the occasion. Sipping on a well-crafted cocktail can enhance the overall dining experience, making it a celebration to remember.

We have our own fantastic range of cocktails for you and your Valentine to enjoy such as Lucky Cat made with Vodka, peach, and cranberry, topped with prosecco, or Yuzu Margarita (served frozen) made with Tequila, triple sec, and lime, yuzu, agave. Plus, we also have our Valentine’s Day speciality cocktail – the Kyūpiddo No Ya.

Made with Vodka, Chambord, pineapple juice, raspberries – this is a fruity and not oversweet take on a French Martini, served with a shot of Prosecco for added fizz!
