M&S is back with yet another exciting launch, and this time it’s a seriously tempting upgrade to its much-loved Gastropub Dine In Meal Deal. And yes, there are even more dishes from legendary chef Tom Kerridge - so expectations are very high.
Launching from today, 22 April, the new line-up introduces eight brand-new dishes, all designed to make dinnertime feel a little more special, without the usual effort. It’s a range that has perfected that sweet spot between restaurant-style food at home, but without the washing up.
The new additions includes starters, mains and sides, meaning you can mix and match depending on your mood. Kicking things off are the brand-new Pulled Pork Croquettes, made with British outdoor-bred pork and Kent cider, served with a maple bacon dip that is that perfect mix of sweet and savoury.
For mains, there’s plenty to get excited about. Highlights include the British Pork in Somerset Cider & Apple, slow-cooked with Bramley apples and mushrooms for a comforting, rich dish, and the Pork & Mushroom Stroganoff by Tom Kerridge, which brings creamy, paprika-spiced indulgence with a slightly tangy twist from gherkins.
The Beef Brisket Meatballs are another standout, packed with smoky bacon and cooked in a spicy tomato and chipotle sauce - perfect paired with the new Fiery Mac & Cheese, which has a subtle gochujang kick. For something meat-free, the Bombay Potato & Lentil Cottage Pie offers a warmly spiced, hearty alternative.
On the side, dishes like the Buttery Potato & Onion Bake and Asparagus, Peas & Baby Potatoes bring balance, from rich and indulgent to fresh and vibrant. So, wether you go for the full Tom Kerridge line-up or stick with a classic combo, this latest drop proves M&S is still leading the way when it comes to easy, elevated meals at home.
