I tried the Dine In meal the last weekend it was on for the first time – I don’t think it quite lived up to the hype (particularly the side – the selection wasn’t great in the store that I was in and none of the vegetables seemed particularly fresh… but I’m not a fan of pre-chopped veg anyway), though the wine and dessert were delicious. That said, I’ll be happy to try it again with another main and side to se how it compares. I would only go into M&S the odd time in general – the food is quite nice, but often to my mind still a bit overpriced compared to what can be gotten (or made) to the same quality for cheaper elsewhere.

Love M&S food. They are conscious of trans-fats and salt levels so their ready meals probably the best standard around. I don’t think they’re as expensive as people say. They have very good offers, such as 3 for 2 or their dine in meal. The selection of wines, cheese and biscuits are divine. Also great for kids treats at Christmas and Easter.
Tuesday 11 August, 2009 at 4:12 pm
My names Laura & Im addicted to M&S food.. all of it, any of it.. any where… any time.. I just cant get enough!
Tuesday 11 August, 2009 at 4:24 pm
The food choice and quality is good, with the exception of fish, which should be sourced more locally and not from UK. The layout and visible display of food types is generally poor across all M&S stores, and the layout is changed very regularly resulting in regular shoppers trapesing around the stores looking for produce Food categories should be clearly posted near ceiling levels for easy access.

We’re off to M&S to dine
The view from the balcony is fine
the prices make my hubby shine
Just him and I – romancing time!
We chill out over our bottle of wine
But hands off!!!… cos the desserts are mine!!!!
Tuesday 11 August, 2009 at 4:54 pm

Tuesday 11 August, 2009 at 5:22 pm

Tuesday 11 August, 2009 at 5:51 pm
Fingers crossed
Tuesday 11 August, 2009 at 6:25 pm
Given that i am currently eating an M&S spud gratin, it is safe to assume i would enjoy this prize.
Tuesday 11 August, 2009 at 6:48 pm
would really love to try your food. Thanks
Tuesday 11 August, 2009 at 7:12 pm
M&S is sooo good – esp the noodles and prawns. And the lemon tart!! MMmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Tuesday 11 August, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Yummy scrummy! And more!
Tuesday 11 August, 2009 at 7:43 pm
While prices may be dearer you’re always guaranteed a quality product when you shop at M&S. Their €12.50 meal deal has made the current economic climate a little easier to bear for many of us.
And for those of you who haven’t yet tasted their white chocolate cookies KEEP AWAY – they are fantistically addictive!

i love M&S and have praised it in previous comments particularly the dine in for 2 for 12.50 promotion when its on.
Tuesday 11 August, 2009 at 8:22 pm
amazing
Tuesday 11 August, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Simply Food Simply MarvelouS!
Tuesday 11 August, 2009 at 8:54 pm
Moved back to Kerry from Cork 4 years ago and had serious withdrawal from M & S food which was too bad as I could never hardly afford it while I had access to it as I was too broke! To my delight, about a year ago M & S opened in Killarney around 25 miles away, I reckon its worth the trip for the delicious food. I also reckon it would be worth the trip to Dublin to check out the new restauraunt!

Food from M&S is generally guilt-free goodness….the price makes it pleasant to the pocket and the ingredients not just healthy but inspired. It’s a chance to try something you could never make yourself and because M&S do the hard work you save not just money but time – something so precious in these pressured days. If it is a Gastropub style Moussaka or an old style fruit cobbler you only have time for your mouth to water while you wait for the oven to ping.
As any guy will tell you, it is food for the folk who cannot cook, and for those of us who just need a night off.
Now what I need is a night out so how about it?
Tuesday 11 August, 2009 at 10:37 pm
Sure M&S is great. I love going in there to have a ramble around and something always takes my fancy when I’m in there. The last great thing I tasted was their New York deli sandwich. It had lovely pastrami, gherkin, sauerkraut and mustard in it. It tasted just like the real deal.
Tuesday 11 August, 2009 at 11:59 pm
Great wine selection, stellar quality food and not haven’t visited the rooftop restaurant Im guessing a fine star view
Wednesday 12 August, 2009 at 2:33 am
Have to say, the €12.50 deal can’t be beat. My wife and I even ate here for our anniversary! Great views, great atmosphere and great food.
Wednesday 12 August, 2009 at 11:03 am
I like how Marks and Spencers can often be comprable and/or cheaper than Dunnes or Tescos, if you catch their specials right.
Wednesday 12 August, 2009 at 11:33 am
Love their food, would love this prize even more!
Great blog by the way
Wednesday 12 August, 2009 at 11:45 am

For the first time ever, i tried the M&S dine in deal for 12.50 (thanks to the recommendations on this website!). I couldn’t believe how delicious it was and such good value. I’ll definitely be shopping in M&S again, it’s that extra bit luxurious, with superb quality – big fan 🙂

Love the food at M&S. My latest discovery is Belly of Pork in the meat section. Very cheap and roasts up beautifully. Special mention for Percy Pigs!!

Wednesday 12 August, 2009 at 4:54 pm
I love M&S food, much better than some actual restaurants…. especially their spaghetti Bologna, I’m totally addicted to it.
Wednesday 12 August, 2009 at 5:41 pm
Love Marks and Spencer food. I go there every week in particular to buy fruit because its much tastier than any other supermarket – at the moment their blueberries, cherries and nectarines are fantastic. Usually splash out a a few ready meals and some of their freshly baked cookies when i’m in there as well.
Wednesday 12 August, 2009 at 7:59 pm
i can never afford to buy in M&S so this would be a real treat. pick me computer!!!!
Wednesday 12 August, 2009 at 9:36 pm
I adore Marks and Spencers food, its a real treat for me to shop there and being able to win this meal would be fantastic!
Wednesday 12 August, 2009 at 9:57 pm

Wednesday 12 August, 2009 at 10:45 pm
Marks and Sparks,
Gets my top marks,
the tasty food leaves hunger in the dark,
delicious salads, fruit and veg, dinners for two or solo,
what’s there not to like?
Wednesday 12 August, 2009 at 11:37 pm
Going to Dublin in September, it would be great to have a meal in M/S restaurant.
Thursday 13 August, 2009 at 10:12 am
M and S passes the test,
the nicest food, the greatest zest,
in gloomy times they are the best,
and only copied by the rest !
Thursday 13 August, 2009 at 10:40 am
My favourites from M&S are the sea bass and Cava
Thursday 13 August, 2009 at 11:02 am
Always fresh and always original.
Thursday 13 August, 2009 at 12:40 pm
oh my god, i am famous amongst family and friends for my obsession with m&s. despite being a poor student and young mother i shop in there a lot.
i actually find m&s much better value than other supermarkets despite what people say – they constantly have fantastic offers and the food is good quality, nothing gets thrown away. look out for their wisebuys!
their meatball soup was my main fuel throughout my final degree year. the fruit is impressive, the spicy tomato topped hummous divine, the sicillian lemon cheesecake my daughter’s favourite, coquilles st jacques are my treat, but the best is their prosecco raboso.
i prefer to spend a little extra to shop somewhere for my daughter where i know the food will not contain artificial flavours, colours, hydrogenated fats, ridiculous levels of salt, battery eggs etc. i heart m&s 🙂

Come on Random Number Generator – pick me!
M&S Food happens to be uncommonly good. Often difficult to choose among such quality offers.
