Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re looking to ditch the basic ‘takeaway at home’ for something a bit more memorable, The Buttermarket has you covered. Whether you’re on a first date and need an icebreaker or you’re celebrating years of togetherness, we’ve rounded up the perfect ways to spend the most romantic day of the year right here in the heart of Ipswich.
Savour the Flavour: Romance on a Plate
Nothing says “I love you” like sharing a delicious meal. If you’re looking for a classic sit-down vibe, we have two fantastic options:
Wagamama: For the couples who love fresh, soul-warming flavours. From steaming bowls of ramen to their iconic Katsu curry, it’s the perfect spot for a relaxed, modern date. Plus, sharing some Bang Bang cauliflower is a great way to start the night!
Prezzo: If your heart beats for Italian, Prezzo is the place to be. With their special Valentine’s Set Menu, you can tuck into indulgent pasta dishes, crispy pizzas, and decadent desserts.

Activity & Appetite: The Best of Both Worlds
Why choose between food and fun when you can have both?
Boom Battle Bar: If you want to level up your Valentine’s game, book a spot for The Big Boom Bottomless Brunch.
Whether you’re picking a side or singing your heart out for both, loved up or brunching with your squad this Valentine’s weekend, do it with BOOM vibes.
We’re serving up brunch with cocktails, street food and nothing but vibes, powered by tunes that understand the assignment. Slow jams for the loved-up, belters for the bitter, and choruses made for screaming with your mates.

A Little Friendly Competition
Want to see if your partner can handle a bit of pressure? Head over to Superbowl UK for a classic date night activity.
Bowling: There’s nothing like a round of bowling to get the conversation flowing. Whether you’re a pro or more of a “bumpers-up” kind of player, it’s guaranteed to bring out some laughs.
More than just Pins: Once you’ve finished on the lanes, you can check out the arcade if you are feeling lucky!

Make it a Date to Remember
From the relaxed vibes of a Japanese feast to the high-stakes thrill of an axe-throw or a strike, The Buttermarket is your one-stop destination for a Valentine’s Day that is anything but boring.
