Tesco is refreshing its meal deal options for the summer with a mix of limited-edition mains, salads and snacks that lean into bolder flavours for a more premium lunchtime.
The standout additions are three Finest mains in the premium £5.50 Clubcard meal deal, including an Italian-style cacio e pepe chicken wrap, a pulled beef brisket doughnut roll with candied jalapeños, and a mortadella & mozzarella option with sunblush pepper tapenade. Also new are the American and Italian-inspired core meal deal launches, plus new high-protein salads and upgraded snack pots.
Retailers are using limited editions and more premium formats to push higher spending in a crowded meal deal market. The Grocer has reported on Tesco’s rollout of a hot meal deal trial and rival launches from Asda and Co-op, suggesting lunch is becoming a bigger battleground for seasonal NPD and premium sandwiches.
