The annual celebration of love that is Valentine’s Day is here and, whether you relish the opportunity to get romantic or prefer to keep things low key, it’s a great excuse to celebrate.
If you’re hoping to give pricey restaurants a miss this year, the good news is that plenty of supermarkets have launched their very own meal deals, which means you get to enjoy a hearty dining experience from the comfort of your own home.
Among those helping you to create a perfect Valentine’s night in is Tesco, which has brought back its popular three-course menu for another year.
The supermarket’s offering is packed with delicious dishes from its “Finest” range, as well as a vegan option for every course. Tesco has also expanded its menu to include 32 products, meaning shoppers can build their own feast across a whopping 76,000 combinations.
Whether it’s a date night with your partner, a Galentine’s celebration, or a nice dinner with your household, here’s everything you need to know about Tesco’s Valentine’s Day meal deal for two, including how much it costs, when it’s available to buy and what’s included.
When is Tesco’s Valentine’s meal deal launching?
Tesco’s romantic offering is available from 9 February until 14 February, so there’s not long to wait until you can take advantage of the deal.
The offer is available to shop in-store and online from this date. However, if you’re hoping to pick your selection up from a Tesco Express store, you’ll have to wait until 10 February to do so.
How much does it cost?
The supermarket has kept the price of its meal deal for two the same as last year – it will set you back £15, which we think is a far more purse-friendly price than ordering a takeaway.
What’s included in the deal?
Made up of a selection of 32 products across meat, fish, vegetarian and plant-based dishes, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, the Tesco Finest Valentine’s dinner for two has something to suit every taste.
The offer includes a choice of a starter, main, two sides and a dessert, as well as a full-sized bottle of alcohol, a four pack of beers, or a non-alcoholic alternative. Browse the full menu below:
