St. Valentine's Day 2008

We all spent a gorgeous night there in the summer and so where better to spend St. Valentine's Day than our favourite secluded and secret venue? We'd like to invite you to bring your Valentine or your best friends to an intimate evening at The White Cliff's cafe in Saltdean.

It looks like it could be a wild and windy night and we thought we'd embrace it by spending it right there on the beach - but cosy and well-fed with an almost completely aphrodisiac menu...

As usual, we'll be choosing some of the menu for you with a starter platter of aphrodisiacs, followed by a (pre-ordered if possible!) a la carte menu and then a dessert platter to get you going before a coffee and marzipan (almonds really do the trick apparently)...

£35.00 ph
