Fast food giant McDonald's has joined Greggs and Ikea to offer a Valentine's dinner date with a difference.
Loved-up couples can forgo the usual fancy restaurant dinner and head to the golden arches on February 14.
But the three-course meal won't be as cheap as chips - it'll set people back £20 for two.
Revealing all on Facebook, McDonald’s posted: "Book a table for you and your loved one this McValentine’s Day right here, we are going all out providing the most romantic dining experience in history.
"We are offering 3 courses of McValentine’s perfection for £20 per couple."

And sadly, it isn't available across the UK - you have to live in Newcastle
You can enjoy a Maccy D’s date night at the time of your choice, with 7, 8 and 9pm up for grabs.
McDonald’s added ‘Email us to look at our menu or to book your table now to avoid destroying your chances of real “couple goals” this McValentine’s Day.’
The burger chain's move into the romance market comes after Greggs revealed it would be offering a special four-course Valentine's meal.

In an unusual move, the pasty chain has teamed up with restaurant booking service OpenTable to serve up a romantic, candlelit dinner in its shops for the very first time - with four courses - and doughnuts for dessert.
Branches will be transformed into restaurants 'designed for romance', complete with mood lighting and music, roses, candelabras and white linen tablecloths.
Instead of ordering at the till, diners will be waited on at their own tables in the retailer’s first ‘fine dining’ experience, while classical music plays in the background.
Billed as the ultimate Valentine’s treat for the Greggs fan in your life, the one-night-only menu will be made entirely from Greggs’ food given a special Valentine’s twist - all for £15.
