Gef’s Top Valentine’s Day Tips – Whether You’re Loved Up or Living Your Best Single Life
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and whether you’re blissfully in love or heroically single, Gef has you covered with some top-tier Manx date (or self-care) ideas.
Because, let’s be honest, love comes in many forms – including love for festive fries, discounted fish and chips, and two-for-one cocktails.
Peel Beach Kiosk – A Very Merry Valentine’s
Peel Beach Kiosk on Peel Promenade has decided to go full Christmas for Valentine’s, because why not?
This Friday, they’ll be serving up festive fries and mince pies, making this the most bizarrely Christmas-themed Valentine’s yet.
They’re also offering love-shaped biscuits and some dangerously delicious-looking cake.
Gef recommends pre-ordering to avoid disappointment – because nothing says romance like securing your festive fries in advance.
The Sound Café – Self Love Special
The Sound Café is looking out for all the singletons out there. They’ve got a deal that’s perfect if you’re flying solo this year, because, as they put it, ‘self-love is important.’ (Just keep it PG, folks.)
Here’s their offer: ? 1 for £11 – A solo twist on their 2-for-£22 deal! You can treat yourself to small fish and chips or a classic soup and sandwich. Because who needs a date when you have deep-fried happiness?
Gef’s Warning: £75 Roses at M&S? Hard Pass
Just a heads-up: Gef has spotted that a bouquet of roses is going for £75 at M&S. Steer clear. No one loves their partner that much. Seriously, go for a meal deal instead.
Barbary West Coast – Dessert on the House
Feeling romantic? Head to Barbary West Coast in Peel and enjoy a free dessert to share when you and your significant other order a starter and a main each. Because nothing says ‘I love you’ like sharing a spoonful of pudding… or battling over the last bite.
Henderson & Glass – Love is in the (Discounted) Air
The newly re-opened Henderson & Glass in Douglas is showing some love to everyone this week with these sweet deals:
- Two-for-one cocktails when you order two of the same (perfect for couples or just doubling up for yourself)
- £2 a pint of Whimsical Ale and guest ale (£1 for a half-pint – absolute bargain!)
- 25% off bottles of wine and bubbles because nothing says romance like discounted booze.
Gelatory – The Return of the Gelato Lovebirds
Gelatory is back for a special pop-up weekend in Ramsey! If you or your significant other are craving a gelato-based treat, they’ve got some exciting Valentine’s specials planned. Keep your eyes peeled – and your spoons ready.
Just Jenny’s – Sweet Treats in Castletown
Just Jenny’s, the cute little independent cake and coffee shop in Castletown, has some great Valentine’s Day treats, including:
- Valentine’s Day treat box
- Valentine’s cookie pizza
Because the only kind of pizza that truly matters on Valentine’s Day is one made entirely of cookies.
Support Manx Businesses!
Loads more local businesses are doing great deals, so get out there, support them, and make Valentine’s Day special – whether it’s for your significant other, your mates, or just treating yourself like the absolute legend you are.
Whatever you do this Friday, have fun, stay classy, and maybe, just maybe, avoid those £75 roses.
