This Mother’s Day, Great Northern are marking the occasion with a wide range of dining experiences, indulgent treats and thoughtful gift options, so that you can spoil mum with everything from hearty Sunday roasts and elegant fine dining to artisanal chocolate and casual coffee dates.

Over at Italiana Fifty Five, families can enjoy a British tradition with a Tuscan twist thanks to their specially crafted Sunday roast. Known throughout the region for its authentic cuisine and typically Mediterranean hospitality, the exclusive Sunday banquet swaps pasta for Yorkshire puddings and all the trimmings to accompany generous cuts of meat. Book your table HERE.

For an unforgettably sophisticated Mother’s Day meal, James Martin Manchester’s Mother’s Day set menu showcases seasonal produce and the chef’s signature style with two courses for £48 or three for £52, and a selection of welcoming nibbles served on arrival. Starters include broccoli and Stilton velouté, house black pudding in brioche with duck egg and beetroot with Yellison’s goat’s curd. For mains, guests can choose from Walmon Wellington with spring herb Hollandaise, Yorkshire pork loin with prunes in Armagnac, or roasted squash with caponata, feta and salsa verde. To conclude, there’s a choice of sticky toffee pudding, white chocolate and whisky bread and butter pudding, rhubarb and custard tart, or a pear soufflé prepared to order. The menu will be available from Wed 11 to Sun 15 Mar, and early booking is recommended HERE.

For a classic roast in a laid-back environment, The Mews is serving its ever-popular Sunday fare down its namesake street along the side of Great Northern Warehouse. Diners can enjoy Cumbrian roast beef, chicken supreme or a vegan joint, all accompanied by heritage carrots, tenderstem broccoli, parsnip purée, sprouts, pigs in blankets, stuffing balls and more.

Down on Deansgate proper, families can revel in a culinary fiesta at Evuna, where the acclaimed tapas restaurant specialises in vibrant small plates designed for sharing. Guests can settle in with a spread of dishes alongside an expertly curated selection of award winning Spanish wines, many of which are imported directly by the restaurant. Bottles are also available to purchase in venue or online, so you can pick up a vintage for mum while you book a table HERE.

For those looking to say it with sweetness, the award-winning Dormouse Chocolates offers an irrestistible range of handcrafted treats across its collection of organically sourced bars and creations, whether it’s a Guatemalan ‘bread and butter’ bar or a dark chocolate, rose and raspberry heart. Pick yours up HERE.

Meanwhile, anyone seeking a more low key celebration can head to wholesome hotspot Acai & The Tribe for a tranquil coffee date. The cosy café has recently introduced a pistachio-inspired collection, which includes the Pistachio Powerhouse smoothie, iced pistachio latte, pistachio date açai and an iced pistachio matcha latte.
