M&S had just bought out their xmas range. They do a smoked salmon terrine with crostini pack which I have for my lunch. That and their mint truffles are my favourite things they do. It's a shame they don't do the smoked salmon pack all year round, I have to over indulge on it from now until xmas before it's removed again 😢
Their Christmas food is an unequivocal joy. |

I used to really like these too but one packet I bought was full of bits of gristle so it put me off buying them again.
Only 2sp each on WW which is even more of a bonus. |

The £10 weekend meal deal is absolutely great, a whole rotisserie "Oakham chicken", tub of herb & mint potatoes, Bramley apple pie & a bottle of wine. Lovely 😎
The leftover chicken carcass is great for making soup, later. |

I find a lot of their ready meals are just too strong and virtually everything is full of garlic and /or chilli which I hate. I think their bread is dry and doesn't keep long.

Tinned curry is extremely popular in the catering trade. I used to have a baked potato from a local shop with chicken curry, cheese and onion, it was delicious. They used Westlers, I know that because I worked for the firm that supplied it to them.

I tried their new Vegetarian Roast Dinner , £4-50 the other day.
Ingredients Chestnut , Celeriac, Mushrooms & Barley Roast Roast Potatoes Yorkshire Pudding Brussels Sprouts Carrots Vegetarian Gravy Quite a substantial meal . Overall I enjoyed it , wasn't too keen on the roast potatoes seemed to have a strange taste , I even liked the Brussels spouts . Worth the money , will give it another go nearer Christmas . |

Crap fish or vegetarian options though.
![]() I'm allergic to cow's milk protein so cannot eat anything with milk in. Other than a really dull fruit salad I can never have any of the desserts in the meal deal. It isn't that difficult to make desserts without dairy! |

Over the last few years M and S food has collapsed in quality. There Chinese food is awful these days, barely edible. The meat quality has fallen so far I prefer Asda beef, lamb etc than M and S. There are far better suppliers of meat these days.
Maybe for a treat the vegatables are a bit better, but the extra cost is off putting. |

We had M+S Beef Wellington today, £14 for two.
It was decidedly underwhelming and i plan to write a stiff letter of complaint. The steak in it was a bit tasteless But the strawberry trifle was absolutely delicious!!!!

I've known people who worked in food wholesalers who assured me it's exactly the same as what goes to other supermarkets.
I wasn't sure myself but they insisted exactly the same. Due to those two being the only exceptions not involved, they benefitted hugely from the horsemeat crisis. Waitrose uses Dalepack meat supplier, the same one as Asda & Iceland.... |

Some years ago one of my nursing team had a mom who worked in a biscuit factory in South Wales, I was told the chocolate wafers were the same for all the major supermarkets they supplied, the only difference was the box/label/price they were shipped out in.

The machine poured cereal into boxes for Lidl & Waitrose. The exact same museli was coming off the machine. M&S have their own meat suppliers though, unlike the others. |

I always used to shop there. Gave it up and save about £150 a month. Their shelf life dates are shocking though, always used to grab from the back.

Their Christmas treats are amazing, going to pick up a few things today.
Agree about the short shelf life though |
