Which date night actually beats a night in front of the telly?

Beams on the ceiling, a dog by the fire, and a roast that takes three hours to finish. Hard to beat in our books.

Pre-theatre menu, a musical you've been meaning to see, and pretending you understood every line. Worth the train fare home.

Fish and chips on the pier, fending off seagulls, and a cheeky stick of rock. Nostalgic in the best way.

Lake District lanes or a Cotswold ramble, finished with tea and cake in a village café. Romance with a side of mud.

Start with something sophisticated, end belting out Mr Brightside at midnight. Chaotic but unforgettable.
