Valentine’s Day is one of the busiest days of the year for restaurants – and it’s likely tables will be in ever higher demand as 14 February falls on a Friday this year. But if you haven’t managed to nab one yet, or would just prefer to avoid the crowds, why not stay in and order a meal kit? This way you can enjoy restaurant-quality food from the comfort of your own home, without the faff of cooking something from scratch. Here are the best Valentine’s Day meal kits for 2025.
DIY Meal Kits For Valentine’s Day 2025
Home by Simon Rogan
Valentine’s ‘At Home’ Menu, £75
Chef Simon Rogan is all about using the best local, seasonal ingredients, many grown on his Lake District farm, and his at home service is no different. This Valentine’s Day meal kit contains everything you need to whizz up a delicious six-course feast, with either a standard or a vegetarian menu available. Begin with sourdough bread and whipped goats curd tart, ahead of mains like native lobster, salt baked celeriac, and pressed lamb belly with crushed new potatoes. End on a sweet note with a rhubarb bakewell slice, followed by some chocolate truffles.
Made In Oldstead
Six-Course Beef Valentine’s Menu, £180
Tommy Banks’ food delivery service was born in lockdown, but it has stood the test of time. The Made In Oldstead meal kits offer the chance to enjoy fine dining from home – all you have to do is reheat the dishes and enjoy them. There are a few Valentine’s kits on offer this year, but the most decadent has to be the six-course beef menu. Begin with celeriac and truffle croustade ahead of pan-fried halibut, with a showstopping beef wellington for the main. After a quick palate cleanser, you’ll be treated to a chocolate, raspberry and hazelnut dessert, before ending with madeleines and whisky chocolates.
Dishpatch
Bistecca alla Fiorentina, £114
Who doesn’t love a slap-up Italian meal? Particularly when it comes from Angela Hartnett’s esteemed restaurant Cafe Murano. Kick things off with some Nocellara olives, and rosemary focaccia with bean dip, followed by a wintry salad of beetroot, ricotta and orange. For the main course, you and your date can share a huge steak, which is served with golden potatoes and salsa verde. Save some space for dessert: Angela’s baked Italian panettone pudding, drizzled in nutty pistachio custard.
Lina Stores
Valentine’s Day At Home Kit, £75
Pasta is a crowd pleaser, and nowhere does it better than Lina Stores. Enjoy the restaurant’s famous fare in your dining room with this Valentine’s Day kit, which features an array of nibbles alongside pasta and prosecco. Start the date with a glass of fizz, olives and charcuterie, followed by a pasta kit of your choice; options include pappardelle with lamb ragu, pumpkin ravioli, and artichoke and truffle ravioli. Dessert is a pistachio and olive oil cake – heaven.
Fortnum & Mason
The Fortnum’s Valentine’s Meal, £110
You can always trust Fortnum & Mason to deliver on the culinary goodies. This Valentine’s Day, the brand is offering a special feast for two, complete with a bottle of crémant. Kick off your date night with a glass of fizz and some nibbles (think olives, breadsticks and charcuterie) ahead of the main event: lobster mac ‘n’ cheese, served with green beans. For dessert, there’s a box of Valentine’s chocolate roses.
