Don’t fancy lots of elaborate prep in the kitchen or venturing to an over-priced restaurant this Valentine’s Day? We don’t blame you. Instead, we're planning a romantic night in, enjoying a delicious, indulgent meal together, without the hassle.
Supermarkets have gone above and beyond this year, with meal deals featuring premium quality dishes that we’re confident you’ll fall in love with. With all the classics on offer, from prawn cocktail starters to sirloin steak with crispy fries, the Good Housekeeping Institute experts have worked their way through 52 products to bring you the very best dine-in deals on the market.
Read on for their detailed reviews, but here are their top picks at a glance.
Best Valentine’s dine-in deals for 2025
Most dine-in deals include a bottle of wine, or non-alcoholic alternative, to enjoy alongside your meal. However, if you’re buying items separately from the likes of Aldi or Lidl, you may want to splurge on something special to sip. We’ve also tested the best supermarket champagne and fizzy rosé, plus delicious non-alcoholic wine and non-alcoholic spirits if you’re looking for the perfect pairing. Get ready to toast to your best Valentine’s Day feast yet…
What to expect from a supermarket dine-in deal
All the meals we tried were designed for two people to share.
While most dine-in deals include a starter, main and dessert, some also add sides and an alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink into the mix. By opting for a deal rather than buying the elements individually, you will save money overall.
How we test Valentine’s Day meal deals
Our panel of experts sampled 52 dine-in dishes from the leading supermarkets (note that M&S declined to take part so doesn’t feature on our list below). Our panel was looking for restaurant-worthy, delicious meals that felt suitably indulgent. As well as each dish’s taste and texture, they assessed ease of prep and value for money.
