Valentine's Dinner · Horatio's Restaurant

A night for two, with love songs to match.

Three courses by Head Chef Peter Ashby, live music by singer Nathalie Gunn, and candlelight on the tables. Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 February 2027 at the Royal Maritime Hotel.

Two nights only

An unhurried evening, worth the whole weekend.

A Valentine's dinner that doesn't rush you. A seasonal three-course menu, a glass of something good, and Nathalie Gunn singing love songs across the decades: jazz standards, Motown soul and the pop ballads you've been quietly singing in the car all week.

Our featured singer

Nathalie Gunn

Nathalie performs across Hampshire with a repertoire that moves easily from jazz and Motown classics through to contemporary ballads. The kind of set that works whether you're swaying between courses or settling in with a glass of something after.

Expect love songs across the decades, warmly delivered, through the whole evening.
