Don't be fooled. While we're always fans of a cosy night in, we'd still be the first to recommend spending the most romantic day of the year under the moody glow of a candlelit wine bar, or enjoying a plate of spaghetti Lady-and-the-Tramp-style with your other half. With so many gorgeous Valentine’s restaurants in London serving special menus on the 14 February, offering the likes of oysters with Champagne, and heart-shaped chocolate cakes it’s hard to say no to that.
If that doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, then perhaps the humble supermarket meal deal might be more up your street. Every year, the nation’s largest supermarket chains launch their own bespoke Valentine's Day meal deals, from Waitrose to Aldi and Lidl. We’d argue that the most anticipated of them all though, is the Valentine’s Dine In deal from M&S.
Famously good value, delicious and featuring a lengthy array of dishes, people will flock to Marks & Spencer days before the 14 February to secure their perfect three-course meal (with sides and booze, of course). In fact, if you have your eye on a particular starter, main or dessert, we recommend not leaving it to the last minute to purchase your meal, as the most popular items often sell out by the time Valentine’s Day rolls around.
So, what exactly is included in the M&S Valentine’s Dine In deal for 2025? We have the answers to all your questions below, including when it launches, how much it costs, and what’s on the menu this year. The brand has confirmed that this year's offering is the most delicious line-up yet, with dishes spanning baking burrata with nduja, lobster thermidor gratins, and fillet steak beef Wellington with red wine jus.
Have a scroll to find out everything you need to know about the M&S Valentine’s Dine In deal 2025, then make sure to get down there early to grab your favourite dishes.
