Old Speckled Hen Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 *drools* I shall go and see what's left in my local M&S. I've not done one of these offers before - any recommendations from the list? Chicken,pork,duck not free range Beef IS grass fed ......I have checked with M and S on a previous occasion so I'm happy to eat it. It all looks yummy and lots of fish which is nice . I'll be in tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 I'm the same OSH, beef or fish for us too. Sometimes their £10 meal deal menus are a bit chicken heavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Looks lovely but the veggie option has mushrooms in and I HATE MUSHROOMS! Sorry for shouting, but I really do hate them, and judging by the number of mushroom dishes as the veggie option in restaurants etc, must be the only vegetarian in the world who does! Rest of the menu looks lush though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Our nearest is 20 mins away, but I need to go over that way anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Got the M&S one today - lovely big pieces of Sea Bass - going to have the starter Scallops around them with lots of salad I have never tried those Charlie Bingham pies on the Waitrose one,but loads of them go through the till,so they must be good!

The Dogmother Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 I'm always wary of pies unless I have made them myself and know what's in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hubby and I went in today and for Mondays meal we are having the Coquilles St Jacques, for our main 2 Whole Seabass with Coriander & Red Chilli Butter with gastro chips, passion fruit heart for pud and a bottle of Chablis to wash down the chocs I wanted the Beef Wellington, but they'd all gone, and we were in there by 11am! Would have been £38 full price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Haven't bothered to go to our small one and not sure if i will as the selection will probably be pants. Is the fish farmed does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 I hear that Sainsburys have now jumped on the bandwagon I'll be at circuit training on Monday night, we'l have ours at the weekend... if Phil comes over that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhotchick Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Got mine on the way home tonight. Scallops, Seabass 520g pack - they vary hugely! Pea, bean & Veg medley, Melt in the middle choc puds and Chablis. All out of Raspberry Panna Cotta and Beef Wellington, I didn't see any Coquille St Jacque either, but I didn't search for them - was very happy with the look of the scallops. If you are going to M&S you might also be interested in the Oakham chicken and apple pie for £5. The shelf was clear when I was there. I never know, but I'm sure you'll tell me....is the Oakham chicken free range or otherwise ethically reared? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Can I just say...the choccies are heavenly. They had it all in stock in Reading today and quite coincidentally I got exactly £20 in vouchers from my M&S Mastercard today,so it cost me not a penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhotchick Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 What time were you there Cinnamon? If I do get another one I plan to go early. The Beef Wellington was sold out at 11am in Warrington today! The Beef looked tempting. On the other hand...changes heads likes Worzel Gummidge....Could I create a 4 course meal for 2 with wine for less than £20....I feel another thread coming on....

ElvisFan Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Cinnamon, you aren't supposed to eating the chocs now, they are for Monday ! I have just watching the clock, M&S by my work opens at 9.30 and I hope they have stocked up over night, my sis said it was mobbed last night and all the scallops and beef had gone. I need to time this just right, I don't want to be the said sack sitting outside waiting for the shop to open ! Will let you know if there was a big fight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 I can only get down there at the weekend and they are always out of stock by then redhotchick, I don't think that Oakham are freerange, I remember having a conversation with my mother about that - they have a pretty 'freerange type' label but unless it says free range, it's not.

ElvisFan Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I remember a programme about the chicken, they were saying how miss leading the labels were, I would give it a miss. Just been down to Mark's and the Beef Welly is all sold out Never mind got the lamb instead which looks looooovely, scallops all gone too but I wanted crabs (hee hee) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jools Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Anne, a lot of the fish in M&S is farmed, the sea bass for example. The best thing about M&S (and why I shop there when I can) is their labelling - it's really clear to see where products have been sourced and how they ended up wrapped in plastic. I'm hoping they're going to change their stance on tuna soon and swap to pole and line rather than just line catching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
