M&S £195 Tom Kerridge Beef Wellington Draws Backlash, Sells Fast

The retailer reports limited stock through its Food to Order service despite widespread complaints about the price.

Overview

  • Marks & Spencer is promoting a Tom Kerridge-branded Beef Wellington priced at £195 for six people as part of its Christmas range.
  • The dish features a fillet of British beef with portobello mushroom and chicken mousse duxelles wrapped in all‑butter pastry, served with beef and red wine gravy and a truffle note.
  • Shoppers on Facebook and Reddit have criticized the price as excessive, questioning value for a cook‑at‑home centerpiece.
  • The supermarket says the Wellington is selling very well with only a few left to order, citing its over‑2kg weight and 17‑day‑matured, hand‑butchered beef prepared to restaurant standards.
  • The Christmas lineup also includes a Turkey Wellington at £110 and a Salmon & Lobster Wellington at £100, reinforcing the premium positioning of the range.
