The 10 best restaurant offers and treats for Mother’s Day in Manchester

Sometimes your mum deserves spoiling, and luckily, there are plenty of places to do it in Manchester this weekend, from endless afternoon teas to unlimited amounts of gravy. Should that be her thing.

Here are some of the places in town offering up some of the best food and entertainment going.

King Street Townhouse

Mother’s Day at the smart King Street Townhouse is most certainly in the upscale category, but as far as such things are concerned, this is decent value. For £71 all in, you can have a bespoke brunch dish and a glass of Buck’s Fizz in the King Street Townhouse Tavern, and then a 60-minute Face Yoga masterclass session on the South Terrace. There are also nail technicians on hand. Alternatively, there are Mother’s Day movie screenings across the weekend too, including Mamma Mia, Thelma & Louise and Little Women. £42 gets you enjoy a brunch dish, tea or coffee, a glass of Bucks Fizz, popcorn and homemade chocolates thrown in with the movie.

Lowry Unlimited Afternoon Tea

The celebrated Lowry Hotel is offering a pretty remarkable ‘limitless afternoon tea’ for March 27. Book in a two-hour slot for £35 per adult (and £15 for children), and it’s unlimited cakes, sandwiches, deserts, scones and live entertainment. There’s pork and wild mushroom sausage rolls, and sandwiches including poached Loch Duart salmon with horseradish crème fraiche, baked ham with piccalilli and oak smoked cheese, and sweets-wise, there are lemon and ginger choux craqualin and a raspberry & white chocolate and pistachio gateaux.

Shoryu Ramen

If your mum’s a fan of Japanese food, then Shoryu has got you covered. Book into the Piccadilly Gardens (and quote ‘Mother’s Day’ when you’re making the booking) and your mum will be served with a cocktail or a mocktail for free. So that’s a Dirty Lychee, combination of lychee and nigori sake made with a dirty touch of rum, or a Yuzu Jasmine, an iced jasmine dragon pearl tea with handmade yuzu syrup. It’s only on March 27, and you have to order one main course too.

La Bandera (Manchester Evening News)

La Bandera

Sick of pesky kids eating free everywhere? Well, this weekend at La Bandera, mums eat free instead, and frankly it’s about time. Book in at the Spanish spot off South King Street with your ma, and you’ll get your cheapest main dish or three tapas plates swiped off your final bill.

Nell’s Pizza

For the pizza-loving mother, Nell’s are celebrating Mothering Sundae. You can perhaps guess what this entails. But for the less imaginative, it means that this Sunday, any mothers in your group will be treated to a free Nell’s Ice Cream sandwich. For those unfamiliar with the Nell’s ice cream sandwiches, they’re two in-house cookies, with all manner of frozen wonderfulness in between - such as the Red Velvet, or the Salted Caramel.

Ducie Street Warehouse

The Ducie Street Warehouse will be offering up free bottomless ‘Mumosas’ - like Mimosas, but MUMosa’s, geddit? - to mums sitting down to their excellent Sunday roast menu. The Mimosas will flow freely for the first hour of your booking, and sorry, it’s for mums only. But rightly so. To soak up the booze, there’s the likes of dry-aged local shorthorn beef sirloin; roast supreme of cornfed chicken; rosemary roasted leg of lamb; and Free-range smoked gammon. A vegan roast is available too.

Unlimited Yorkshires at Motley

Can’t really say fairer than unlimited Yorkshire puddings and unlimited gravy for the northern mum wishing to stay true to her roots. That’s what Motley, the restaurant at the Yotel on Deansgate is offering for Mothering Sunday. They’ll be dishing out the Yorkshires from 12pm all day until they’re gone, served alongside Sirloin of Beef, Roast Chicken Breast, Garlic & Herb Porchetta or Mushroom Wellington, all served with seasonal vegetables and crispy roast potatoes.

Book in at Three Little Words for its Feed The Soul Sundays session, where the roasts are plentiful, the Yorkshires are light and airy, and the gravy flows like the cocktails do.
