‘Oh my! oh my yes please’ cry shoppers as M&S makes a major change to its Valentine’s Day dine-in meal
MARKS and Spencer has made a major change to its Valentine’s Day dine-in meal and shoppers are loving it.
The posh shop’s dine-in deals always prove to be popular with lovebirds looking to celebrate on a budget.
It costs £25 this year and M&S shoppers can choose a starter, main, a side, desert and a tipple of their choice.
The options include fillet steak beef wellington, slow cooked lamb shanks, prosecco and more.
But fans have been raving about on item in particular – Passion Star Martini Cocktail cans.
It’s the first time that the cans have been a part of the popular deal.
Posting on its Facebook page, the M&S store in Meadowhall in Sheffield, wrote: “We know you love our Passion Star Martini Cocktail cans, well good news – you can get a pack of four as the drink on our Valentine’s Dine In.”
Shoppers rushed to comment on the social media post and were delighted by the new addition.
One fan said: “Got these and a fabulous dinner too.”
Another added: “Loveeeeee these!”
A third wrote: “Valentine’s Day made.”
While a fourth cried: “Oh my oh my. Yes please.”
The box of Passion Star Martinis costs £9 outside of the deal.
Today is the last day to pick up the delicious deal, so you may want to visit your nearest store sooner rather than later.
You can find your local store by using the locator tool on the M&S website.
There are dozens of products in M&S’ range, which means there are many different menu combinations you can cook up.
Customers can save up to £16.75 on the price of buying the most expensive items on the menu.
The deal is the £5 more expensive than last year for the complete three-course meal for two.
It had been priced at £20 for the last four years.
TopCashback is offering £10 cashback on Valentine’s meal deals, which means that savvy shoppers can bag the deal with a discount.
Below is a full list of the items available as part of the £25 deal.
