M&S is doing a Mother’s Day afternoon tea for £12.50
MOTHER’S Day is just around the corner as M&S Café launches a new afternoon tea for two deal.
The offer is available at 31 cafes in major UK cities including Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow as of today (March 13).
Customers can pay £12.50 per person or £25 for two.
The menu features all-butter scones with Cornish clotted cream, fresh strawberries and mini chocolate cupcakes.
Plus, diners will be able to feast on French macarons, cinnamon biscuits and a selection of sandwiches.
Anyone wanting to spice up the meal can add a mini bottle of Conte Prioili Oro Prosecco for an extra £5.
Marks and Spencer said diners buying the meal deal will save £5.80 compared to purchasing the individual items separately.
Individually, the items add up to £30.80 compared to £25 as a meal deal – so customers are getting a 19% discount.
The sandwich selection usually costs £10 for two while scones for two would normally be £5.
Meanwhile, clotted cream is typically £1.40, fresh strawberries £4 and the jam pot £1.40.
The sweet treats, including cinnamon biscuits and macarons, usually cost £4 and the tea £5.
