It's a sad truth that not all supermarket dinners are created equal. While most major supermarkets have in-store cafes where customers can tuck into a hearty meal after a big shop, some will give you more bang for your buck. The same is true of the stores running Christmas menus this festive season.
Keen to put Britain's supermarkets to the test, a team of food writers from Manchester Evening News visited all the big shops offering festive meals in their cafes this year and they claim to have found a festive cracker.
The team headed to Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Asda, who all offer a full turkey meal in-store, plus Tesco and M&S, who have their own festive cafe twists. Read on to find out which cafes scored best - and why one's offering was compared to pub-quality food.
