For foodie fans who love nothing more than tucking into a hearty three-course meal when given the chance, you can now do this without leaving the comfort of your own home, because Morrisons has just launched a new dining deal for less than £10.
With autumn having officially just begun, the nights drawing in, and the temperatures dropping by the day, spending a cosy night in with some home-cooked food might actually be more preferable to a big night out on the town for some people, which is why the supermarket retailer’s newest dining deal could be just the excuse for a feast you need.
Morrisons wants to give its shoppers the chance to enjoy a restaurant experience within their own four walls for “unbeatable value”.
All for just £9 each for Morrisons More Card holders, or £10 for everyone else, customers can pick up a delicious main, two sides to accompany, and a finish off with a decadent dessert.
There’s some stunning seasonal dishes on the menu, as well as some absolute customer favourites included in the lineup too – such as mains like Coq Au Vin, Crackling Pork Belly Joint, or Chicken Parmigiana, along with sides like Maris Piper Dauphinoise Potatoes, Garlic Ciabatta Bread Sticks, or Green Vegetables.
And for the ultimate end to the dine-in feast, customers can enjoy a range of desserts like Raspberry Panna Cotta, Lemon & Passionfruit Posset, and GÜ Double Chocolate Brownies.

Lizzy Massey, who is the Director of Own Brands at Morrisons, said the supermarket’s new dine-in deal is all about giving customers the best value possible, but without compromising on quality or taste.
“This is an exciting opportunity for us to bring restaurant quality dining at outstanding value, week in week out, into our stores,” Lizzy concluded.
Morrisons’ three-course The Best Dine-In Deal is now available in stores and online.
More Card customers can enjoy the dining offer at just £9 until the 8 October, before it becomes a regular fixture at just £10.
A newcomer to the Leeds foodie scene has been added to the coveted Michelin Guide.
You may remember back in April when a Leeds icon was reborn under a different name.
The Smithfield took over the site that was home to The Reliance for more than two decades, and it's safe to say it exceeded expectations.
The team transformed the site to its former glory, taking the site's exterior back to its memorable dark red. But the efforts to recapture the essence of the iconic old venue go way beyond that.

The Smithfield, a collaboration between Crooked Brewing and Chef James Donovan, offers simple dining with seasonal food and natural wines.
It's the sort of place where you can rock up for a plate and a glass people watching through the huge window on North Street, or really get stuck into a sharing pie and chips with friends on a Saturday afternoon.
Either way we love it, and it seems we're not the only ones as The Smithfield has been added to the Michelin Guide just five months after opening.

Announcing the great news to Instagram, The Smithfield said: "We’re very pleased and grateful to have been included in the Michelin Guide.
"To get this kind of recognition so early in our journey is a real honour, and one we certainly don’t take for granted.

"Thank you to our wonderful guests for your continued support. Also, huge thanks to our brilliant team. The Smithfield is what it is because of your hard work, enthusiasm, energy and diligence. This recognition belongs to you.
"We’re just getting started, and our focus remains the same: creating a welcoming space for our community, serving food and drink we’re proud of, championing great British and local produce, and contributing our small part towards Leeds’ brilliant hospitality scene. The Smithfield."
