Sainsbury’s Valentine’s Day dine-in deal is a showstopper – but the one caveat is that you will need to be a Nectar member, so if you like the sound of the menu, we’d recommend signing up.

But what exactly is on the menu? Starters range from cheddar and leek tarts and scallop gratin, to cauliflower bites and tempura king prawns. Mains sound equally as impressive. Whether you’re in the mood for steak, duck, port or a beef pie, you’ll be catered for. But there are also fish dishes, including nduja hake and salmon en croute, while veggies can dig into a butternut squash and chickpea pie. Sides sound equally scrumptious with hasselback potatoes, chunky chips, cauliflower cheese and truffle dauphinoise on the menu.

The dessert highlights include espresso tiramisu, chocolate and pistachio melt-in-the-middle pudding, sticky toffee pudding and lemon tarts. To toast to your love, choose between prosecco, alcohol-free rosé, a selection of white, red and rosé wines, or soft drinks.
