Mother’s Day in London. Oh, what a glorious time. It’s actually one of my favourite time of year – much better than Valentine’s Day when we’re bombarded with aphrodisiac menus and sharing desserts (hands off my dessert, please) and Pancake Day where you can’t escape desperate attempts at re-invention (a pancake made with Guinness, is not, in fact, a “mancake”), Mother’s Day is just rather lovely. If you’re looking to indulge your mum this Mother’s Day, here’s the special menus and events running around the day:

Menus

1. For Traditional Fare: DUKES LONDON

What: This Mother’s Day DUKES LONDON’s signature restaurant, THIRTY-SIX By Nigel Mendham, will be serving up a special Sunday roast. If your mother makes a mean roast this is the chance to give her a well-earned break and, with a choice of four starters, four main courses and four desserts, there is something to tempt even the fussiest of family members.

The Idea: Alternatively treat your mum to delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones and patisserie for a traditional Afternoon Tea. Perrier-Jouet Champagne, a choice of teas or a gin and tea infusion make the perfect accompaniment to afternoon tea served in the hotel’s elegant Drawing Room and Conservatory, overlooking a peaceful courtyard nestled in the heart of London’s Mayfair.

Price: The Sunday Roast is priced at £26.00 per person for two courses and £29.00 per person for three courses including a glass of wine and tea or coffee. The DUKES Afternoon Tea starts from 29.50 per person.

Choose beautiful aromas of Earl Grey, Lapsang Souchong and Jasmine.

6. For a Foodie Break: Orwells

What: Because as much as we love the city, sometimes we just want to escape to the country and inhale some crisp, fresh air. Orwells is an hour from London and what foodie day trips are made of. This countryside pub is owned and run by two Michelin star winning chefs and the food certainly lives up to Michelin standards. They grow 75% of the fruit and vegetables used in the restaurant themselves, only use local meat and keep their own bees for honey. Gourmet food that’s feel good too.

The Idea: Take the train from Paddington to Henley and take Mum for a Sunday lunch to top all others. With two courses for £29.95 and three for £34.95 Orwells is a steal for food of this quality. Try their signature dishes of crab, rhubarb, fennel and watercress or langoustine, ginger, seaweed and radish, or go for a twist on the traditional with one of their roasts – whole roast poussin anyone? After lunch go outside to play with the resident beagles, Remi & Truffle, or take Mum for a walk in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside before getting the train back to the city.

Price: £29.95 for two courses. £34.95 for three courses.
