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.

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.

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.

Mancs wanted to take part in a new series of the ‘hardest quiz show on TV’
Emily Sergeant
Call yourself a clever clogs? The BBC is currently looking for contestants to take part in what is widely considered the hardest quiz show on TV.
That’s right – Only Connect is back for another series on BBC Two.
Presented by Victoria Coren Mitchell and first broadcast all the way back in 2008, Only Connect takes TV quizzing to the next level, as it sees two teams compete against each other by finding connections between seemingly unrelated clues.
In this quiz show – which viewers have dubbed one of the most challenging there is – knowledge only takes you so far, as the ability to think laterally is also deemed ‘vitally important’.
A casting call for the upcoming 2027 series has been shared on the BBC website, with people from Greater Manchester encouraged to apply.

The casting call reads: “The popular BBC Two quiz show presented by Victoria Coren Mitchell returns for a new series in 2027.
“Only Connect is seeking teams of three players OR single applicants or teams of two looking for like-minded teammates to pool their combined wits to solve fiendish conundrums and vexing puzzles.
“This is the quiz series where, as in life itself, knowledge will only take you so far: patience and lateral thinking are also vital. It’s all about making connections between things which may appear, at first glance, not to be connected at all.”
Reckon you’ve got what it takes then? Applications are now open, and all applicants must be aged 18 or over and a resident in the UK or Channel Islands.
