Whether you are celebrating your first Valentine’s Day together, or a special anniversary, the team at the Hexham Courant have rounded up the best romantic restaurants for a date.

Across the Tyne Valley, there's a fantastic selection of eateries for all tastes and budgets.

Valentine's Day, which is also known as Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine - is celebrated annually on February 14.

The origins of the day go back to a Christian feast day honoring a martyr named Valentine. However, traditions over time have meant it has become a significant cultural, religious and commercial celebration of romance and love around the world.
