Your ideal celebratory meal! Please help!

I'm not sure if chat is the best place for this so feel free to report and have moved elsewhere if somewhere is more appropriate.

If you were to attend a celebratory meal as a couple where would you go? UK only, price is not exactly an object (don't want to spend thousands but be happy as a one off if it's a few hundred each).

Partner enjoys a glass of wine with a fancy meal but I don't drink so alcohol isn't important in the decision making. I'd just like something unique, great food, somewhere I couldn't normally justify bar this one occasion next year.

Where are you in the country OP?

The pig restaurants are lovely in the south. Hawksmoor is really good (and I’m a pescetarian!)

On the Derbyshire/South Yorks border so very central for England. Happy to travel almost anywhere in the UK and make a weekend of it if needed. Will Google Hawksmoor!

Had a quick look at Hawksmoor but with it being a chain I'm not sure it's quite the right thing for me. Really hoping for a unique or different experience to celebrate what will be a one off huge achievement for me professionally. ☺️

If you want to make a weekend of it The Peat Inn in Fife is really lovely, they have rooms too so you could stay over - one of the nicest weekends I’ve had.

Maybe the Fish in the Cotswolds? You could stay in a treehouse too..

Gareth Wards restaurant in Wales is your one for unique experience! You can also stay overnight. It’s pricey but incredible. Definitely a one off thing to do

I personally really want to go to Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saisons once in my life. I understand that the food is very 'pure' and not necessarily spectacular or spicy - a proper foodie experience.

Thanks everyone, will Google all the suggestions!

Have a look at Boringdon Hall for a weekend away, spa and Michelin star dining. The main restaurant is still fabulous for the rest of your meals!
