Whether you’re keeping it lowkey with a partner or planning a palentines dinner party, if you don’t fancy forking out for an expensive meal at a restaurant this Valentine’s Day, a supermarket meal deal is the next best thing – and M&S is arguably the crème de la crème.

Serving up a decadent three-course meal to enjoy with a loved one, M&S has joined the likes of Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Co-op to reveal its 2024 line-up. Spoiler: we don’t think it’ll disappoint.

Costing just £25, you can feast on a starter, main, side and dessert, complete with a bottle of fizz, wine or your choice of soft drink for £12.50 per head.

From tempting meat dishes (think sirloin steak, lamb shank and chicken cordon bleu) and fish mains to vegan and vegetarian offerings like tempura fritters and mushroom stroganoff pie, you’re spoiled for choice. There are also boozy and non-alcoholic tipples to pair with your meal – and that’s all before you even get to decide which dessert to indulge in.

From the full line-up to when it’s available to shop, here’s what you can expect from the Marks and Spencer Valentine’s dine-in meal deal.
