‘As good as dining out!’

Charlotte Di Cello, commercial director at Waitrose, said: “Dining in can be as good as dining out! So it’s important we provide our customers with a high welfare, restaurant quality meal they can enjoy at home this Valentine’s Day. The same price as last year and even better, to ensure great value for money - we’ve added fine wine and cocktails along with grass fed British beef, MSC certified fish and new innovative desserts. This is a deal our customers are not going to want to miss out on, I know I won’t be!”

Vegetarian and vegan options

Each course includes a vegetarian and vegan option. For the starter, there are eight options to choose from, including our Vegan Layered Mushroom Parfait (£4.50), MSC Certified Scottish Mussels in Garlic Butter (£3.85) and Bacon Leek & Roquefort Tartlets (£4.50).

For the main event we have nine options, including British Beef Ribeye Steaks with Bearnaise (£10), Slow Cooked Duck with Apple & Cherry Ketchup (£8) and ASC Certified Sea Bass with Tomatoes & Olives. You can’t have a main without a side dish so choose from eight different options including, PlantLiving Dauphinoise Potatoes (£3.95), No.1 Green Vegetable Medley (£3.50) and indulgent No.1 Ultimate White Mash (£3.15). 

Love dessert?

Then to finish, we have nine options to tempt you with. Brand new for Valentine’s Day are our No.1 Rhubarb & Custard Love Hearts (£4.50) and No.1 Blonde Chocolate Dreams (£4.00) and if you can’t end the meal without a cheeseboard, you’ll love our Perfect British Cheeseboard (£4.50).

WR Fine Wine

You can’t have all of that delicious food without the perfect wine pairing to make your meal extra special, so new for this year we will be offering a bottle of fine wine or Tails ready-to-pour cocktail. 

Pop a bottle of La Gioiosa Prosecco Superiore Valdobbiadene DOCG (£13.45), versatile and great with ASC Certified Sea Bass with Tomatoes & Olives.

Whether you opt for a vegan or a beef main the Cuné Rioja Reserva (£13.50) will be the perfect choice and for the same taste of for anyone who chooses not to drink alcohol but wants to enjoy a sparkling wine we have the Thomson & Scott Noughty Alcohol Free Organic Sparkling Wine (£9).
