BAKERY chain Greggs is offering couples a four course candlelit dinner in selected shops across the UK, including one in Scotland.
Selected shops will be transformed into restaurants designed for romance, complete with mood lighting and music, roses, candelabras and white linen tablecloths.
The branch on Glasgow’s Argyle Street is one of the five in the UK offering the one night only experience for Valentine’s Day.
The other four branches are London Stockwell, Manchester City Tower, Newcastle Grainger Street and Cardiff Queen Street.
Billed as the ultimate Valentine’s treat for the Greggs fan in your life, the menu is made up entirely of Greggs food with a Valentine’s Day twist.
The four-course meal will include classic canapes such as seasoned pork puff pastry sliders, love heart garnished bakes, doughnuts and prosecco.
Instead of ordering at the till, diners will be waited on at their own tables in what Greggs describes as “first class table service” with classical music playing in the background.
Dessert and Fairtrade coffee will also be served.
The set menu will cost £15 for two on Wednesday 14 February, at 7pm.
Greggs has teamed up with Open Table and couples can book from Wednesday 7 February online (www.opentable.co.uk/greggs).
A Greggs spokesperson said: “For the first time in our history, we wanted to offer the public the opportunity to enjoy their Valentine’s Day evening in the comfort of their local Greggs.
“We’re delighted to offer this experience for fans for one night only – whether they’re on a first date or have been married for 30 years, we can guarantee it will be a night to remember.
“The one-night-only menu will be made entirely from your favourite products but given a special Valentine’s twist.
“Sausage rolls and romance can go hand in hand.”
Adrian Valeriano of OpenTable, said “We are really excited to be working with Greggs to deliver reservations for this unique Valentine’s dining experience.
“For fans of Greggs this is a one night only occasion and we didn’t want to miss out on the chance to help romance blossom on this exclusive evening.”
Starter options on the menu are seasoned pork and a puff pastry starter steak and blue cheese en croute, katsu tortilla wrap, Mexican chicken chipotle spoon, bechamel toasted honey cured ham square and tomato gazpacho.
Main courses include any puff pastry parcel, freshly baked to order, accompanied by oven roasted spiced potato slices and a garnish of fresh Apollo and spinach leaves and sunblush tomatoes.
Dessert is a brochette of miniature doughnuts paired with a butterscotch flavour dipping sauce.
Fairtrade coffee will also be served with Belgian dark chocolate brownie, raspberry and almond bite and caramel shortbread.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
