M&S is bringing back its very romantic £20 meal deal for a posh night in.
Options include new “Love Linguine”, two different types of steak, heart-shaped churros and a bottle of prosecco.
M&S says its “Love Linguine” is the stand-out new product for this year, with each strand of pasta measuring 50cm for “Lady in the Tramp” moments.
The linguine features British pork and beef meatballs, extra long pasta in a tomato, chilli and basil sauce, topped with Parmesan cheese.
Through the M&S deal, loved-up diners can choose one starter, main, side, dessert, bottle of booze and a box of chocolates.
This is the same combo as last year, with the M&S deal also costing £20 in 2020.

This is if you go for a £6 starter, a £10 main, a £3 side, a £4 dessert, £12 bottle of booze and £1.50 box of chocolates.
Shoppers would usually pay £36.50 for this combo but the price goes down to £20 because of the deal.
It means for a starter, you could pick scallops or prawn cocktail, followed by steak or chicken kiev as a main.
As for pudding, the maximum saving could include churros with chocolate sauce and a choice of two of the proseccos.
M&S hasn’t confirmed all its prices, although it confirmed to The Sun that £16.50 is the highest amount you could save.
This is up from the £16.30 you could save from the deal in 2020.
We’ll update the remaining prices when we get them.
In total, there’s around 50 different items to choose from, with the meal deal available in stores from February 10 until February 14.
We’ve asked Ocado will sell the Valentine’s range too and we’ll update this article when we know more.
It is pricier than other supermarket meal deals – for example, the Co-op one costs £15 but you don’t get a box of chocolates included.
Morrisons’ dine in for two offer also costs £15 but you have to choose between a drink or box of chocolates, although you do get two sides.
Here’s how we rated all the Valentine’s Day supermarket meal deals from 2020 including Tesco, Asda and Aldi.
We rated Morrisons for having an impressive saving of £19.20 and a decent selection of food.
But Sainbury’s was least impressive with a saving of £2.10 and a weak choice of grub.
