Tesco's Valentine's Day Menu for Two: Date Night Sorted from Just £15
Enjoy a complete romantic meal for two with a main course, side dish, dessert and drink for a remarkably affordable £7.50 per person, as Tesco unveils its enticing Valentine's Day dine-in deal for 2026. This cost-effective offering provides a hassle-free way to celebrate with your loved one, eliminating the need for extensive preparation and washing up.
Supermarket Romance: A Feast Without the Fuss
There is an undeniable appeal to Valentine's Day dine-in deals from major supermarkets. With multiple courses, accompanying drinks and significant discounts, these promotions present a wonderfully convenient and budget-friendly alternative to crowded restaurants or elaborate home cooking. Tesco joins competitors like M&S, Waitrose, Asda and Co-op in aiming to capture hearts with its specially curated menu.
Shoppers at larger Tesco stores or using the online service can access a more extensive package. This £20 deal includes a starter, two sides, a main course, dessert and drinks for two people. For those seeking a simpler, even more economical option, Tesco Express stores are offering a streamlined £15 Valentine's Day dine-in package. This consists of a main, a side, a dessert and a drink. It is important to note that a Tesco Clubcard is required to take advantage of both promotional offers.
What's on the Menu? Decadent Dishes and New Creations
Tesco promises that over half of the dishes in its Finest range for this deal are brand new creations, adding an element of novelty to your romantic evening. The selection is designed to impress, moving from elegant starters to indulgent mains and delightful desserts.
Starters & Mains: The starter selection sets a sophisticated tone, featuring options such as camembert with garlic and parsley dough balls, classic coquilles St Jacques, and breaded prawns with a hot honey dip. For the main event, couples can choose from dishes like salmon and prawn en croûte with a cheddar cheese and prosecco sauce, the whimsically named 'marry me' chicken kiev with a sunblush cherry tomato and cheese sauce, or beef pies served with a rich red wine jus. A vegan option is thoughtfully included: a mushroom stroganoff pie with portobello, porcini and chestnut mushrooms in a creamy sauvignon blanc sauce.
Sides & Desserts: The side dishes complement the mains perfectly, including triple-cooked fries topped with parmesan, baby potatoes, sweet chantenay carrots, and even heart-shaped rosti. Lighter options include green vegetable gratin, samphire, petit pois and sliced cabbage with a mint dressing. The dessert offerings complete the feast, ensuring a sweet end to the meal.
Raising a Glass: Drink Options for Every Preference
No romantic dinner is complete without a drink to toast the occasion. Tesco's deal includes a variety of beverages to suit all tastes. Popular canned Moth cocktails, which include Margaritas, are available alongside a selection of red, rosé, and white wines, as well as prosecco. For those preferring non-alcoholic alternatives, the deal features alcohol-free sparkling Nozecco and other favourite fizzy drinks.
