Co-op is launching a new roast dinner offer that feeds a family of four for a fiver this Easter.

The supermarket is pitching its £1.25 a head meal with a whole roast chicken, crispy potatoes and golden Yorkshire puddings.

This follows the news last week that Aldi is offering six must-have vegetables at 15p in an Easter special - with British White Potatoes, carrots, parsnips, onions, swede, and even XL garlic all a fraction of their usual prices.

That’s less than the cost of a single meal deal in some supermarkets and a fraction of what a roast would set you back in most pubs right now.

The bundle includes:

  • Co-op 100% British Medium Whole Bird (1.7kg) or Co-op Scottish Medium Whole Bird (1.7kg)
  • Co-op 100% British Baby Potatoes (750g)
  • Co-op British Carrots (500g)
  • Aunt Bessie’s 10 Yorkshire Puddings (190g)

It’s recognisable, traditional, and - perhaps most surprisingly at this price - the meat is British.



How to get the Co-op roast for a fiver deal

The offer is available exclusively via shop.coop.co.uk, and the bundle is available using the code ROASTDEAL in the box at the checkout, from March 25 – April 14 inclusive.

Prices may vary in-store and if bought via delivery partners.

 Rachel Halter, Co-op’s Customer Director, says: “Providing our shoppers with high quality British products at a great price is what we pride ourselves on and this online exclusive offer, really hits the spot.

"At £1.25 per head for our members, there is no compromise on quality or value, and buying it as a bundle makes it super convenient, as a stress-free mid-week treat or a Sunday roast.”
