A luxury dining experience complete with white tablecloth, silver cloches, and sparkling soft drinks served in champagne flutes was served to one lucky couple – in the middle of a Tesco store.
Greg Dwight, 38, and his partner Hannah Hoad, 34, from Essex, sat down to enjoy the high-end two-course meal in the aisles of the Tesco supermarket in Watford, where they were served by their own personal waitress.
Menu choices included barbecue snack mix to start off, followed by their main courses – a Rainbow Salmon Poke Bowl, and a Roast Beef, West Country Cheddar and Truffle Mayo Tiger Roll, all served on the finest dinnerware.
And other customers were left bemused as they carried out their food shopping, while Greg and Hannah were waited on hand and foot.
The one-of-a-kind meal marked the launch of Tesco's new premium meal deal, available in the supermarket from today (Monday).
Greg and Hannah, who have been in a relationship for over five years, were chosen for their long-lasting love of the Tesco meal deal.
Between them, they have enjoyed well over 500 in total since they’ve been together.
Greg, speaking at the launch of the new premium range, available on Clubcard Prices, said: “It’s been a fun experience to celebrate our love for the iconic meal deal in such a unique way.
“We’ve always had our ideal “go to” choices, but this new meal deal really mixes things up.
“There are so many new mains options with incredible flavours you wouldn’t expect, like truffle or n’duja – we can’t wait to try more of them.”
The couple were served by a waitress at their exclusive table and offered a menu of varying delights.
Food choices included vegan options such as a Mexican bean and sweet potato veg box.
Numerous shoppers at the store were left looking confused as the couple enjoyed the premium service while seated in the middle of the shop floor.
And many stopped to watch what the waitress was revealing from under her cloche.
Following the couple’s choices, the meals were selected immediately from the shop floor, and stylishly presented before serving.
Alessandra Bellini, Tesco chief customer officer, said: “We know that our Meal Deal is hugely popular with our customers, and is a lunchtime staple for millions of people day in, day out.
“But sometimes you want to treat yourself to something a little special, and the new option gives our shoppers the opportunity to upgrade their usual lunch choices.”
