Top Italian American restaurant Frankie & Benny’s has been swamped with applications after offering a FREE engagement party and a £2000 diamond ring for Valentine’s.

The popular restaurant has launched the ultimate cost-of-living crisis busting proposal for love birds who want to get engaged.

The team at Frankie’s were shocked last year by the number of applicants for their FREE wedding at Frankie & Benny’s and the big day was a massive success for the lucky couple. This year’s engagement offer is no different.

2024 has been pegged THE year to get hitched, it’s a leap year, which is considered good luck for couples tying the knot. After hosting the wedding of the year in 2023, Frankie & Benny’s are back with a magical chance to win a romantic proposal!

The Frankie’s restaurant chosen by the winner will host everything, pulling out all the stops for the romantics. The lucky lovers will be treated to a delicious three-course meal, a special celebrity guest appearance (to be confirmed), and ten of your nearest and dearest (incognito) waiting to kick off the post-engagement prosecco party with the lovebirds.

Many of those who’ve applied for the free engagement had their first date at one of the restaurants and want to let it show as they propose to their other half.

Frankie & Benny’s announced on its social media channels last week that with money tight after Christmas and with the cost-of-living crisis they were stepping in to play Cupid.

Frankie & Benny’s believe that money might not buy you love but it will buy you a free diamond engagement ring and an unforgettable party, it’s guaranteed to be a night the happy couple will never forget.
