Supermarket dine-in deals for a budget Valentine’s Day 2024

Marks and Spencer

This isn’t just any Valentine’s Day budget dine-in deal… This is lobster thermidor (gratins), slow cooked lamb shanks and salted caramel profiteroles.

Last year, more than one million people enjoyed an M&S Valentine’s Day Dine In deal. The deal features one starter, main, side, dessert and drink to choose from Marks and Spencer, this year boasts gluten free and vegan options in each category.
