House 10: The 10 essential things to book in the UK this week

1. Dinner at Pen Yen, Shoreditch House

Take your Valentine out for a romantic dinner at Shoreditch House, where the Japanese izakaya restaurant, Pen Yen from Soho Farmhouse, has taken up permanent residency. The menu is packed with sushi, sashimi and dishes from the robata grill, with everything from miso soup to a cut of Wagyu beef in an umami-rich yakiniku sauce.

2. Facial treatment at Farmhouse Health Club

Soho Farmhouse has just reopened its newly renovated Health Club. What better way to celebrate than booking a signature facial at the spa? The 60-minute treatment involves a deep cleanse, steam, exfoliation and extraction, followed by a face, neck and shoulder massage. And there’s a scalp, hand or foot massage to finish. You’ll probably be far too relaxed to go anywhere in a hurry after that, so why not stay overnight, too?
