There's certainly someone around here who should be embarrassed.

Any vegetarian that has the audacity to complain about the lack of choice should be embarrassed. Your choice not to eat meat and M&S's choice to cater for the majority!

I'm not veggie but my partner is so I empathise with how boring and repetitive the veggie offer is.
M&S have the same veggie options in this deal each time. Often stores don't even stock either vege option. They sell some tasty veggie options outside of this deal, so it's rather a shame that they don't include them. At least Tesco and Asda vary it a bit and have much nicer options. Once M&S improve their options we'll return, in the meantime we're going elsewhere.
Gave up on them years ago as far as clothing is concerned.

If this is running to cover Mothering Sunday, it would have been better if they had repeated a similar £20 deal they ran for Valentine's Day. Better quality wine, and food choice. I for one wish they would do the £20 deal on a regular basis, rather than the uninspiring £10 deals.:neutral_face:

Here goes then, I have the audacity to complain as I'm a veggie and the choice for us is as usual very poor. Was going to vote hot until I read your pathetic comments so here goes , COLD

Are...are you taking the p*ss? If it's my choice not to eat meat, then it's also your choice to continue eating it.
There are 10-15 meat dishes for mains, yet only 2 vegetarian (if we're lucky) - invariably a dull risotto or pasta bake. For a company like M&S, to serve such uninspiring choices, we've every right to complain.
I'm baffled that 15 people liked your comment.

What a moronic comment. Meat eaters can eat vegetarian food. If all the options were vegetarian then they would be catering for the majority which would be all vegetarians and meat eaters. You should be embarrassed for posting such controversial tripe :man:

Thank you for posting must agree it's a little hum drum but still a good deal as it includes the wine

The alcohol alone is worth £7-£8 so whole deal is a bargain, that's why the hype!

You must be joking. I've yet to find an M&S wine in this offer that's worth more than £4.

There also appears be a lack of choice for people with certain food allergies too.
