Romantic Dinner: Valentine's Menu

If you’re starting to think about where to book for Valentine's Day this year, Pearly Cow in Brighton is definitely one of the spots getting attention. They are hosting a special 'Romantic Dinner' on Saturday, February 14, 2026, focusing on their signature steak and seafood grill experience but elevated for the occasion. This event is highlighted locally as one of the top ways to celebrate with your loved one. The menu itself has been crafted by Head Chef Andrew Mackenzie, suggesting a focus on quality and detail for this intimate dining experience.

Let's talk logistics first: the special Valentine's Menu is priced at £95 per person. Also, a quick heads-up, Pearly Cow operates entirely cashless, so make sure you have your debit or credit card ready for payment. The experience kicks off with a glass of Chapel Down and a 'Don’t Make Me Blush' cocktail (available with or without alcohol). For the first bite, you get a choice of taco—options include beef tartare, lobster and crab, or a vegetarian goat cheese and fig option. If you want to splurge a little more, North Sea Oysters are available as an add-on, priced at £9 for two, £27 for six, or £50 for a dozen.

Moving onto the main courses, the menu offers plenty of variety. For starters, you can choose between a classic shrimp and lobster cocktail, beef tartare, or a mushroom parfait. When it comes to the main dish, you have the choice of individual plates like Sirloin of beef or grilled sole, or a vegetarian pithivier of crottin, spinach, and walnuts. Alternatively, if you prefer sharing, they offer a charcoal-roasted beef picanha. Whichever main you choose, the table gets two sides included, with options like beef fat chips, regular fries, creamed spinach, or hispi cabbage. To finish the evening, desserts include a mascarpone crème brûlée with cherry sorbet, a chocolate and cherry Negus, or an apple Tarte Tatin designed for sharing. It sounds like a comprehensive dining experience tailored for couples looking for something special in Brighton.
