Updated with full selection (and thanks to Miriam)
Staying in this weekend? The M&S dine-in offer is back, but this time you can pick up a starter, main, side dish, dessert for two, a red rose or box of chocolates, plus a bottle of fizz for €25. The offer kicks off tomorrow and runs through until Sunday February 14. As usual, bargain hunters are advised to get there early; the M&S deal tends to be very popular and the shelves can quickly run bare.
Even though I’m a Valentinian denier, I’m going to go for this offer. Scallops, lamb, chocolate puddings, chianti, and more chocolates for €12.50 each? Who can say no? I’m a big fan of M&S food – it’s always restaurant quality – and this is a lot more affordable and enjoyable than a packed restaurant on Valentine’s night.

a bit limited in the choices on offer, I prefer the dine in for two for €12.50

Hi Maura, this is just a sample, I THINK there might be more on the menu. I’ll check it out. I see why you might prefer the €12.50 offer but when you add in the chocolates and the starter I still think this is a fabulous deal.

I was just about to say Peter, I think there is more choice available on in that offer. I’ll give it a try this weekend, Ive never bought anything in these offers before.

Hunting down that info now, I’ll update the post when I get more details 🙂

As much as a like the goat’s cheese and pesto thing, I’m kinda sick of it. Hopefully there’s another veggie option on the full menu

Hi Peter, I went on the Marks and Spencer site to have a look and they have a lot more choices listed there! Very tempted! Thanks for the heads up though I will definitely be out purchasing some of these treats tomorrow 🙂

!Bargain Alert! Marks are selling the food from this offer at half price. I got two rump steaks for €7.50.

Hi Claire, that’s an amazing offer, did you get the whole shebang: starter, side, main, desert, wine, and chocs for €7.50? Or is it all being sold seperately? If you have any more details I’ll put this up as a seperate post. Thanks Claire! 🙂

Each being sold seperately Peter, sides, desserts and mains. I didnt see any starters though, maybe their sell by dates have passed? There was an entire end aisle shelf full of rump steak and lamb in M&S Cork at lunch time today and no one was paying any attention to it. I felt like grabbing people and pointing it out to them!
