Places to eat, drink and chat on Valentine’s Day
For something a little less formal – The Blind Pig
Jason Atherton’s flagship bar The Bling Pig is an ideal place to enjoy Valentine’s Day. Situated above Social Eating House, this warm and cosy speakeasy offers a range of creative cocktails inspired by children’s literature.
One you shouldn’t miss is The Honey Pot, dedication to A.A Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh. It blends Havana 7 rum with salted butter, Somerset apple brandy, lemon, honey and orange bitters. Served in a clay honey pot, the cocktail also features a tribute to Winnie-the-Pooh’s sidekick, Piglet, with a garnish of a pig-shaped sweet.
This unique and relaxed bar is the perfect place to celebrate and enjoy time with your loved one.
The Honey Pot is priced at £11.50. If you need more information visit www.socialeatinghouse.com.
