MISS visiting your favourite fancy restaurant this Valentine's? Well, here's how you can still enjoy a romantic meal in lockdown.

With February 14 fast approaching, for those scrambling around for ideas of how you can show your love for your significant other, or anyone you want to celebrate, independent restaurants across Newport have you covered.

While many of you may enjoy a home-cooked meal, we're sure Valentine's Day for many of you would be booking in for the evening at their favourite fancy restaurant.

Sadly, due to a country-wide lockdown, that isn't an option.

However, thankfully, many places across Newport are offering Valentine's dinners at home.

Here's some of the best that we've spotted so far:
