Set in Cornwall in the 1930’s, the film stars British actresses Judi Dench and Maggie Smith, and is directed by Charles Dance.

“Somerfield were looking to feature promotional activity that fitted across our Classic British Ready Meal range – the Ladies in Lavender film release meets this brief perfectly,” said Charlotte Stokes, ready meal buyer for Somerfield.


The company said the feedback on the promotion has so far been positive, with the uplift in sales of Somerfield British Ready Meals exceeding initial expectations.
