With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, many will be wondering what to do with their loved one.
The go-to plan is normally a nice candle-lit meal-for-two from Marks and Spencer’s or Waitrose and an early night, but after the year we’ve all had why not push the boat out and head to a nice restaurant in the town?
Don’t worry, we’ve done the hard bit for you.
Below are five restaurants in Reading providing a special, set menu for Valentines Night.
