Denby Sand Stripes Stoneware Dinner Set £24.94 @ Argos

It’s weird, you’ll have a stunner of a dinner set that lasts and lasts and lasts and then, suddenly, one day most of the pieces will be covered in cracks, two have gone missing and one is completely broken. Suddenly you don’t have a dinner set you’d feed a dog on. Thank goodness for this delightful deal from Argos, then.

This entire 16 piece stoneware set has been marked down from £49.99 to only £24.94, exactly half the original price. It includes four complete place settings with four dinner plates, side plates, bowls and mugs.

The dinner plates are 27.5cm, side plates are 21cm, the bowls are 19cm and the mugs take 350ml. Nice and big methinks! The pattern around the edges may not be to everybody’s tastes but it’s quite neutral and should match most kitchen styles.

The set is dishwasher (yay!) and microwave safe but the deal will expire on 20 April so try not to put this on your “to do” list for too long.
