Be my (lockdown) valentine: sumptuous dinner boxes to order in

This February 14th might be the one night of Lockdown 3.0 when it’s no hardship to have to stay at home. Who really wants to go to a restaurant on Valentine’s Day, full of couples who never usually speak to one other? The food is invariably as naff as a Forever Friends foil balloon; everything comes drizzled with pink coulis and at some point you’ll be offered a single red rose for your beloved which has been flown half-way round the world, stiffened with chemicals and devoid of scent. But nor should you think of cooking — bar a bit of finishing off here and there. So don’t say it with flowers, say it with one of these divinely decadent food deliveries. 

My bloody Valentine

Hawksmoor At Home have surpassed themselves with their Valentine’s box. One hefty 35 day-aged prime rib steak to share, fat chips, peppercorn sauce and sticky toffee pudding with cream, sour cherry Negronis and a bottle of Palmer & Co Brut Reserve Champagne.
