Not Just Any Valentine's Day

by Elizabeth, 12th February 2010

Valentine’s Day traditionally sees restaurants full to the brim with couples spending over the odds on ‘special’ Valentine’s Day menus to woo their other halves. The extortionate prices on the 14 February are enough to make anyone consider staying in for the night, but if the thought of cooking a special meal for your loved one this Valentine’s Day induces palpitations and clammy hands, then fear not, Marks and Spencer are here to save your day.

With their special Valentine’s Day Gourmet Menu dine in for two offer HERE ) you can choose a three course meal from a selection of over 20 dishes. The offer is available in stores until Sunday 14 February, meaning that even the most last minute of you can get your hands on some gorgeous grub to treat your sweetheart.

The offer includes a starter, gourmet meal, side dish, dessert and wine (or fruit juice if you need a clear head Monday morning!). To top it off Marks and Spencer are even throwing in a gorgeous gift for your loved one as part of the deal, all you need to do is choose between a single stem rose or chocolates collection; talk about bonus brownie points!

With mouth watering starters from the old faithful friend Prawn Cocktail to the rather sexy sounding Coquilles St Jacques (imitation French accent optional!) you are sure to get the evening started with a high note.

Moving onto main course, Marks and Spencer have pulled out all the stops with ready prepared Duck A L'Orange (there’s that French accent again!), a mouth-wateringly good Goat’s Cheese & Pesto en Croute or even Sirloin Steaks married with Crushed Red & Green Peppercorns & Lightly Seasoned Butter, great for buttering up your Valentine. For a bit on the side your other half won’t object to, go for the Chunky Chips or Mediterranean Style Vegetables washed down with a bottle of Chianti Florentini or Sparkling Burgundy.

If you manage to make it to dessert after all that wooing over candlelight, then try Melting Middle Chocolate Puddings to melt your loved one’s heart or go right for their sweet spot with a delicious Strawberry & Champagne Souffle.

Whichever of the delectable delights you choose, you are sure to put a smile on Valentine’s face with this delicious menu. It’s not just any Valentine’s Day, it’s Marks and Spencer Valentine’s Day!
