All You Need To Know About Valentine’s Day 2021 Dine-In Meals

21/01/2021 by Hannah Gale

5 Min Read

If you’re super organised (or just trying to keep yourself going by focusing on the next holiday date in the diary), you might already be thinking about what to whip up to eat to commemorate Valentine’s Day on February 14th. So we thought we’d give you the lowdown on what each supermarket is offering this year when it comes to their dine-in meal selection.

Whilst we won’t be enjoying any romantic nights at our fave restaurants just yet, we can at least break up the monotony of lockdown life with a date on the sofa (or dining table if you’re feeling super fancy).

So whether you’re feeling loved up or just want something decadent and delicious to split with your housemate, here are what the likes of Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s and Tesco will have on sale in the lead up to V Day…



Sainsbury’s

The offer: A starter, main, side, dessert and either a bottle of wine or chocolates for £20.

The options: Sainsbury’s have over 10 options for both starter and main, making it one of the supermarkets with the most variety. Highlights include everything from scallop gratin and breaded Camembert to sirloin steak and macaroni cheese, all from the Taste The Difference range. There’s also plant based offerings including a nut roast and vegan steaks, and all the desserts available in the deal are from GU. Delicious.

When: Available in larger stores 10th-14th February 2021.
