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.

There are a few Valentine’s kits on offer this year, but the most decadent has to be the seven-course beef wellington menu. Begin with canapes followed by a luxurious spread that includes scallops with black truffle, and a showstopping beef wellington main. After a quick palate cleanser, you’ll be treated to a chocolate and caramel dessert, before ending with macarons and salted caramel chocolates.

You can always trust Fortnum & Mason to deliver on the culinary goodies, and this Valentine’s Day Meal Box will seriously impress your date.
