At The Foxton Locks Inn you can spend your Valentines overlooking a scenic canal from a candlelit table with your loved one.
This year we have decided to spread the season of love across a whole romantic weekend. With Valentine’s Day falling on a Sunday this year, we have refrained from cancelling our hugely popular Sunday carvery and instead we have included the carvery in one of our exquisite menus.
On the Saturday evening (13th February), guests will receive a luxurious three course meal with night time views all for just £25 per person.
On Sunday evening (14th February), guests will again receive a three course meal. Sunday’s menu will however include the added option of our well liked carvery for main course selection, all for £22.50 per person.
Please find the menu’s for both days below.
Both days are available for bookings from 7 – 9:30 pm. Booking in advance is advised to avoid any disappointment.
