Waitrose has launched new No.1 lines to be included in the meal deal, including Parmigiano Reggiano & truffle chicken kiev, tomato & mozzarella gnocchi bake, and mozzarella & basil pesto pantofola.
The retailer, which recently saw its like-for-like sales drop by 5%, is hoping the increasing number of families dining in to shop with the new offer, The Grocer reported.
It comes after it reported in August that 55% of Brits are going out for food and drink less compared to six months ago.
The news comes after Waitrose launched a Family Dine In offer during the summer “providing great value all-year round” – including a £10 pizza dine in deal that feeds a family of four.
