Couples looking for a quirky alternative this Valentine's Day can tuck into "kebabs by candlelight" courtesy of a popular Bootle venue.
Valentine's Day is almost upon us, with many keen to push the boat out and celebrate in style. Whether it's with partners, friends or family, the vast majority of people turn to a swanky restaurant to celebrate the annual love-fest.
But for those who crave something a little more understated, or are simply too busy or exhausted to venture to a posh venue on a weeknight, I am Döner may have the answer. Founded in 2016 by Chef Paul Baron, I am Döner is now backed by Think Hospitality and aims to upgrade the trusty kebab into something much more sophisticated.

It has grown in success, boasting three managed stores in the UK; in Headingley, Harrogate and Leeds city centre, as well as one franchised store in Bootle in Merseyside. This Valentine's Day, it's offering mini candles with any takeaway or home delivery orders in a bid to help people celebrate in style, while in the comfort of their own home.
I am Döner founder Paul Baron said: "All the added pressures of increased energy bills and everything just being that bit more expensive this year, means that we are hearing from our regulars that many of them are just skipping Valentine's Day altogether.
"With the idea to offer people an affordable, stay at home alternative to the grand gesture or cheesy card, the team at I am Döner are offering kebabs at candlelight, with a mini candle for any order with two kebabs or boxes for takeaway or home delivery, while limited stocks last. As well as helping to create a sense of romance, it'll also mean people can switch off the lights for an hour or so, saving on electricity as well."
I am Döner is also offering the first 20 couples to dine in store at its new Bootle restaurant a complimentary bottle of bubbly with their kebabs, in addition to the candles. People are permitted to queue from 6.30pm for a 7pm entry.
I am Döner is based at 215 Stanley Road, Bootle, L20 3DY. You can place an order at its Bootle venue here.
