Valentine’s Dinner in the Docklands
Love makes the world go round. Love lifts us up where we belong. Love is the drug that we’re dreaming of…
Whichever cheesy lyric resonates with you, come join us on 14th February with your best friend and enjoy a free glass of prosecco each.
Book a table for lunch or dinner at this independently run, family-owned traditional bar next to the ExCeL Centre in the heart of the Docklands and love the day just that little bit more. Book your table today and remember to quote Valentine’s for all bookings on 14thFebruary.
Galentine’s Dinner in the Docklands
“What is this Galentine’s of which you speak?” we may (or may not!) hear you cry. Let us explain as we love the Galentine’s concept.
Galentine's Day is now a global holiday, typically marked on 13th February, that celebrates women's friendship. Events are typically all-female occasions of mutual empowerment - according to Wikipedia!
The day originated within the US sitcom ‘Parks and Recreation’ in an episode written by Aisha Muharrar. All hail Aisha! The sitcom's main character Leslie starts the tradition. Galentine’s has now jumped from fiction into real life and continues to grow in popularity - not that an excuse is needed for groups to come together for dinner to share stories, advice, and good wishes.
If you plan to join us for Galentine’sDay - and you will be warmly welcomed if you do - remember how The SundayTelegraph framed Galentine’s Day:
“Galentine's Day was born out of rebel spirit, intended as a rebuff to the conventions of Valentine's Day. It's about doing exactly what you want to do, and feeling thankful for having friends that let you do it.”
We love this concept and will honour the day by sharing a free glass of prosecco per person for each table booked in advance when you quote Galentine’s Day. Yes, a free glass of prosecco for each person dining with a group of friends on Galentine’s Day on 13th February.
Eat what you love
Our extensive bar and restaurant menu includes lots of favourites - from pizza and curry, to burgers, fish and chips and lighter bites, as well as some traditional pub grub favourites such as bangers and mash. This is good quality, bar and restaurant food, accompanied by your choice from a well-stocked bar.
Jump on the (Valentine’s) love train! We tried very hard to squeeze in that pun!
We’re situated right by Custom House DLR station; only a few minutes by tube or DLR from the West End, Canary Wharf and the O2, just round the proverbial corner in the historic area known as London’s Docklands. We’re actually housed in an old warehouse, which gives us a vibrant atmosphere and versatile spaces. The ExCeL Centre and all the entertainment and experiences on offer are a very, very short walk away and you will be blown away by just how much history is around us in the Royal London Docks.
