Marking Galentine's Day has become increasingly popular in recent years, with the concept conceived by character Leslie Knope in TV series Parks and Recreation.

In Hornchurch, diners will be served sharing platters and "vibrant" cocktails by shirtless male waiters, with bottomless cocktails available from 4pm to 5:30pm.

Meanwhile, groups of girlfriends will be serenaded by singer Jake Oakshott and enjoy an "energetic DJ performance".

There will also be plenty of photo opportunities on offer for those hoping to get the perfect Instagram shots in Onyx’s "photogenic interior", including a photo frame prop designed for social media posting.

Launched in October 2019, Onyx is a luxury Italian restaurant and bar with a rooftop terrace and a "family-friendly" menu.
