If you prefer to stay on dry land you are spoiled for choice for that romantic meal.

As well as catering for the day itself, Loch Fyne Seafood & Grill on Foss Bridge House, Walmgate, is offering a prize of a candlelit dinner for two and a luxury weekend stay at Loch Fyne itself in Scotland for the "catch of the day" and his or her partner.

The chosen partner will have to explain in no more than 100 words why their other half is the perfect catch other than the usual lovers' compliments. More details are on www.lochfyneseafoodandgrill.co.uk/catch-of-the-day

As you would expect, Carluccio's in St Helen's Square has an entirely Italian Valentine's Day menu. https://www.carluccios.com/menus/valentines-day
