Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate this ‘day for lovers’ than indulging in a romantic meal for two. OpenTable, the world’s leading restaurant booking service, has revealed Friday 2nd February as ‘ValenDine’s Day’ and is calling on diners to lock in their reservations this weekend based on new insights from its Valentine’s Day dining data.

Leaving things to chance could be a recipe for a broken heart, with UK diners booking on
