Valentine's Day dinners and celebrations are often associated with a high cost, so the Waitrose £25 Valentine’s Dine meal deal is being launched by the grocer in the UK to help change this perception. The meal deal will be on offer from February 10 through 15, 2026 and will offer customers a choice of a three-course meal with a bottle of wine to pay or a ready-to-drink cocktail. The meal deal will thus offer access to 35 food choices and 11 drink options to ensure the low-cost deal doesn't disappoint those who are forgoing a trip to a restaurant this year in a bid to save money.

Head of Innovation Sam Angell spoke on the Waitrose £25 Valentine’s Dine meal deal saying, "This year, food lovers will be able to show their love on Valentine’s Day with our restaurant-quality £25 Valentine’s Dine In meal deal. The mouth-watering No.1 menu includes responsibly sourced seafood such as No.1 Scallops & King Prawns served in delicate shells, high-welfare No.1 Sirloin steaks sourced from grass-fed British beef and innovative delicious desserts including a new No.1 Ruby Chocolate & Raspberry Mousse, helping our customers to say it with food this Valentine’s.”
