M&S Defends £195 Tom Kerridge Beef Wellington as Stock Runs Low

The retailer says the price reflects restaurant-level preparation using 17-day matured British fillet.

Overview

  • M&S says the six-portion Wellington is selling very well with only a few left on its Christmas Food to Order page.
  • The dish weighs over 2kg and features beef fillet with portobello mushroom duxelles, chicken mousse and black truffle in all‑butter pastry, served with beef and red wine gravy.
  • Online criticism has focused on the £195 price, with social media users calling it excessive for a cook‑at‑home centrepiece.
  • Sky News notes rival options including Fortnum & Mason’s beef Wellington for £120 serving six to eight and Gordon Ramsay’s £95 per person restaurant experience, plus a £30 Charlie Bigham ready meal.
  • M&S’s Tom Kerridge festive range also lists a Turkey Wellington at £110 and a Salmon & Lobster Wellington at £100, with earlier coverage comparing the beef option to a £175 three‑course Sunday roast at Kerridge’s Hand & Flowers.
