How time flies... one minute we're planning Christmas Dinner and where to celebrate New Year's Eve and the next, Valentine's Day is only a month away!

Luckily for residents of Bishop's Stortford, there is The Lemon Tree – a highly popular restaurant located in a warm and welcoming 16th century building on Water Lane. Owned by Luke and Sue Fishpool, The Lemon Tree is well known for its high quality, seasonal cuisine, regular events, and Luke's monthly Cooking Club.

So it makes perfect sense to treat your loved one to a sumptuous four course meal for Valentine's Day! The Lemon Tree has organised a Valentine's Day menu, which includes a romantic cocktail, canapés and a Belgian chocolate gift supplied by Coco Chocolatiers for the ladies (although I bet the men end up pinching a little!)

The Lemon Tree's Valentine's Day meal is priced at £65 per person; please contact the Bishop's Stortford restaurant today to book your table.

Gifts

Chocolates, hearts and flowers... rather than going into a complete panic on February 10th as you've completely forgotten to buy a Valentine's gift, why not sort that perfect present out early?

What woman doesn't adore jewellery? Based in Saffron Walden and with an online shop that offers a gift wrapping and delivery to Bishop's Stortford, Something Elegant is a name synonymous with beautiful, contemporary silver jewellery. 

From earrings to necklaces, Something Elegant is home to a massive range of stunning jewellery, including Nomination Italy, Sheila Fleet, White Ice and Ortak. The jewellers also has a men's range for you ladies looking for a thoughtful, high quality gift for your other half.

Is your loved one into their music? Bishop's Stortford music shop, Playsomething has a fantastic selection of musical instruments, from harmonicas to pianos. And if your beau is a novice or a little rusty, why not treat them to professional music tuition at the Playsomething Academy?

And finally, we've gone full circle back to The Lemon Tree and Luke's Cooking Club. Taking place on a monthly basis, attendees will watch a demonstration filled with culinary hints and tips, followed by the opportunity to sample Luke's dishes.

Gift vouchers are available and make the perfect Valentine's Day gift for a foodie!
