“Fortnum’s Tomato Sauce, or Ketchup if you prefer, will make any meal a ready feast.”

And diners can slather it on the store’s takeaway steak and chips which costs £50.

But the famous London store reckons their slabs of beef and fancy fries are a cut above rest.

And they’ll bundle up the pricey grub in a bag for life.

Diners are told: “All wrapped up in Fortnum’s Plastic-Free Bag for Life and ready for a delicious gourmet feast, The Fortnum’s Steak & Chips Bag is the perfect dinnertime decadence.

“Inside you will find two Glenarm Salt-Aged Delmonico Ribeye Steaks, exclusive to Fortnum’s, and a portion of triple-cooked chunky chips.

“Hand-selected from the Glenarm Estate in Northern Ireland, the ribeye has been dry-aged for between 28 and 42 days in the chamber, which is made from more than 1000 hand-cut bricks of salt.

“This chamber purifies the air and concentrates the flavour of the meat, producing an incomparable piece of beef.

“No dinner would be complete without a bottle, so we’ve included our Fortnum’s Rosso Piceno – a seductive red with notes of vanilla and soft ripe cherry fruit on the palate. Let’s dig in!”
