Morrisons has just launched its own Valentine’s meal deal, and it’s already looking like a worthy rival to the popular M&S offer.
Oh… and it’s quite a bit cheaper too.
With the international day of love right around the corner now, and M&S generally being seen as the go-to place for couples looking to grab a ‘dine in’ deal if they’re keen celebrate the special day in a more low-key way, then it only seems right that some of the UK’s other leading supermarkets would try to rival that offer – and Morrisons is one of them.
In case you missed it, M&S unveiled its now-legendary Valentine’s ‘Dine In for Two’ £25 meal deal for 2024 earlier this month, and it definitely seems to be going down a treat already.
There’s everything from lobster, steak, and mushroom stroganoff pies, to salted caramel profiteroles, white chocolate and raspberry mousse hearts, and a whole load of “luxurious” side dishes and drink options on the menu.

But Morrisons has also come through with some proper good comfort food to indulge in too.
And the deal is up to £10 cheaper than M&S as well, so if you fancy saving yourself a couple of extra pounds this Valentine’s Day, then you know where to nip to.

On the Morrisons Valentine’s ‘Dine in for Two’ meal deal menu this year, you can choose from dishes such as smoked salmon verrines, tempura prawns, scotch eggs, vegan Mediterranean antipasti, and a camembert ‘tear & share’ bread to kick off the night.
Then, for the main attraction, there’s everything from beef en croute, slow cooked lamb shanks, chicken parmigianas, 30-day matured rump steaks, and mac & cheese to pick between.
Triple cooked chunky chips, parmesan and truffle mash, a medley of green vegetables, creamy dauphinoise, cauliflower cheese, and ciabatta sticks are some of the tempting side dishes on the lineup to accompany your mains.

And of course, to finish it all off, you can pick from desserts like raspberry profiteroles, a trio of different mini cheesecakes, raspberry panna cotta pots, chocolate cakes, and even a selection of cheese for those who prefer something savoury.
The deal also includes tipples for all taste buds too, including award-winning wines, fizz, bee, and alcohol-free options.

Fancy it then?
The Morrisons ‘Dine in for Two’ Valentine’s Meal Deal is launching in stores across the UK and online from this Thursday (8 February), and it will set Morrisons More Card shoppers back just £15, while non-More Card holders will only need to part with £17.
This means the deal ranges from £8 to £10 cheaper than M&S equivalent offer at £25.

Manchester firefighter surprises partner with proposal during new recruits parade
Danny Jones
We’re a sucker for a wholesome little video as we know you are, which is exactly why we thought of you lot when we came across this video of a newly graduated Manchester firefighter surprising his partner with a heartwarming proposal.
Just the kind of heartwarming that usually sets us off after a long week at work.
The clip shared by Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) on Thursday, 25 April, shows Manc fireman James popping the question to his girlfriend sat unassumingly in the audience at a recent passing out ceremony.
Pass out ceremonies are when trainees go from recruits to fully qualified firefighters after completing their intensive operational training. It’s a long-standing tradition in the emergency services where friends and family gather to celebrate their achievements – it’s almost like it’s the perfect opportunity…
Watch as a Manc firefighter turns his passing out ceremony into a surprise proposal.
As you can see, since the graduates are usually the centre of attention, James couldn’t help but size his moment and instead of walking and lining up normally like everyone else, he decided to head straight over to his wife-to-be and get down on one knee.
You already know the rest.
Welling up immediately and barely able to remove her hands from her face, Melissa nods and says yes as the crowd cheers and the pair share a smooch.
Writing on social media, the GMFRS said: “We managed to capture a VERY special moment at our new recruits pass out parade today… Congratulations to James and Melissa!”, adding, “Certainly one way to start your new career”.
If we don’t see all the groomsmen dressed as firefighters on a random viral video sometime soon we’re going to be gutted.
All the best to the happy couple and if you’ve got any more lovely clips like this to send in so we can make ourselves cry (in a good way), you know what to do.

The Chestergate pub in Stockport is at it again with some of the most wonderfully Manc scenes you’ll ever see
Danny Jones
The legendary Chestergate pub in Stockport is back with another belter of a video, following on from their viral belly-flashing clip of 2022.
The Mersey Square boozer has painted yet another quintessentially Northern depiction of UK pub culture with the latest Manc scenes they’ve captured around the karaoke machine.
If you’ve never had the pleasure of stumbling into The Chestergate in Stockport town centre, the long-standing boozer currently operated by publican chain Blind Tiger Inns, you’re seriously missing out.
While it might not be the flashiest of pubs, when it comes to entertainment, it always delivers.
Whether it’s stunts like renaming themselves ‘The Southgate’ whenever the Euros or World Cup rolls around, or the locals just genuinely having a whale of a time no matter what day of the week it is, it really sums up the best of pub culture.
The Chestergate went viral for some of the most British footage ever caught on film back in 2022 and the videos saw a huge wave of love and support flooding in for the pub, as well as a healthy amount of chuckles. Safe to say we were chuffed to see them pop back up on our feed again recently.
Karaoke night at The Chestergate literally never disappoints.
Forget ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’ or ‘Champagne Supernova’ for karaoke songs – we’ll take a cacophony of inaudible throwback pop music, whilst another bloke and his hype man try and MC over a totally ill-fitting beat any day of the week.
And that’s handy because you’ll find those kinds of shenanigans happening at this place all the time.
It’s simultaneously one of the most no-nonsense and somehow a non-stop shenanigan-filled paradise. They also look after their own and consider their regulars part of the family. Case and point: they threw their very own ‘Dancing Queen’ Molly a big bash for her 86th birthday and it’s such wholesome viewing.
At this point, it’s worth flagging that we have nothing but envy for these folks and anyone who’s just out there having the time of their lives on any random weeknight.
Yes, it produced plenty of laughs for those watching online in recent times but this lot won’t mind one bit – not only is the pub seeing more and more new faces through the door but that’s the whole point of a pub, isn’t it? Going for a pint with your nearest and dearest and having a laugh.
Not only is it very Manchester but it’s Britain at its very best.
We hope to see you at The Chestergate pub in Stockport for a pint or two sometime soon and we’re making a bit of a prat of ourselves, don’t worry, we’re sure they’ll have the cameras ready for you.
