You'd get about six chops off the rack of lamb I reckon, small ones.

Tesco are also doing a valentines meal deal , well i saw the ad on UK tv saying £10 so i assume it will be available here.

billyhead

Is this a sit in meal offer or do you take it away in sealed packs etc.

When it says 'dine in' it means cook it yourself and dine at home, not in the M&S café

be wide of me

Yes it's all to be cooked at home!! Great selection! Sent my Dad in early for it since he was heading in town got the Scallops, Rump Steaks, Chocolate truffle desserts and the Cava and chocolates!! He said they were like vultures in there!

I wish they were in Waterford. I'm going to Limerick tomorrow and plan on shopping in M&S in Clonmel, hope there's some left.

I got 2 lots of the €10 meal deal in Tesco this evening and it was delicious and very good value considering the wine is €9.99 on it's own.

Stheno

same here we had the tesco deal this evening and it was very good.

it was the dine in for ten, think they are doing a valentines one as well, but the one we had was delicious.

No starter left in Cork apart from pate at 3 today :mad:

The Cook Menu Steak with Peppercorn Sauce

Mocha Fondant

Chocolate Collection

Happy St Valentine's day to all from Bree Van De Kamp (me) *kind of*

I'm normally a big fan of the M&S Dine in for 2. However, the only problem is, you have to wait 2 weeks or so for the next one. I tried the Tesco €10 deal, that seems to be available every day. It's really good value, and the wine is good - I got Casillero del Diablo chardonnay and shiraz.
I gave the valentine's day M&S offer a miss this week, I'll wait for the regular €12.50 offer. My freezer is just too full! Enjoy!

skibum

Just had the scalops, followed by the rump steak and veg, topped off by the choc pudding, washed down with wine......
Very happy for the total cost of 25 euro, missus appreciated the red rose...

Quality was second to none
+ 1 for m&s.....

Me too

(except we had pannacotta instead of your choc fondants)

The rose cava was pretty impressive and €25 for the whole meal was an absolute bargain.

Unshelved

Baked camembert, rack of lamb with roasted veg, pannacotta topped with raspberries and a petit chablis. Fantastic value for €25.

Haven't scoffed the chocs yet tho.

Thanks WM, you were on the ball, 4am???
I had the chicken stew, only bought 3 meals this time. You can't beat it, the variety is very good. I'm a saddo, I have a reminder on my computer in work for the next one on Thursday week.

CaliforniaDream

I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about the next offer?
There wasn't one last week and thought they might do something for Easter instead but there's nothing showing on the site.

Thanks!

Was in yesterday and i could only see the Family favourite range on the specials shelves,they had half price beef roasting joints and they have stocked up on turkey too so i`d say they are heading towards family meal deals like Mothers Day.

No. I Couldn't see anything either, I thought they might have done a family roast for 4 for Easter. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that a lot of the major shopping centres were closed on Easter Sunday. So I'll check the website again this Thursday. It might be back to the €12.50 offer.

I've been buying a few of the Tesco's €10 meals, though they don't vary very much. I much prefer the choice at M&S!

What's the price these days? Still €12.50?

Duh - just read the post again. Sorry!

the groutch

just a quick heads-up that there is a Cava that's on offer for about 9 quid (label is mostly white with a bit of red), which will go through as part of the offer

Gregsor

Yum,i hope they have the Old Man Creek Chardonnay in Irish stores,it`s a lovely tipple.
Cobbarah is quite good two,oh and the food sounds nice too

Travel is good

Thanks for that. I just saw it on the m&s website, but you all beat me to it. I can't see Cava there, though I do like the Blush Fizzante. Its a fizzy rose, quite nice. I might try the Pinot Grigio, though all the other wine is good too.

I was planning on hitting M&S in the morning anyway, as I guessed this offer would be on. Such secrecy! I asked the staff there last week, and they told me they weren't even told about the offer!

I'm getting a bit fed up of the Tesco meal deal, I've tried every combination.

That's great, now I can buy the wine in M&S without feeling guilty, and nice food too. Enjoy!

muckety

I like the chicken - I buy the oakham chicken regularly anyway so don't feel like I"m being manipulated into spending lots more money on stuff I don't want.

Question for The Groutch - if the Cava is not listed as part of the meal deal will it def. go through at the till ? I'd go for it if its def. part of the deal.

CombatCow

Pretty good that it's running from Thursday to Tuesday, I usually miss out on it...

jameshayes

Thanks for the heads up!
