Located down its hidden namesake side street, the award-winning Mews Bar & Charcuterie celebrates the big day with one of the city’s best Sunday roasts, packed with tender meats, crispy roast potatoes and all the trimmings, coated in lashings of rich house gravy. They’ve also added a decadent twist to bottomless brunch, with a Bottomless Cheese Fondue Package featuring meats, breads and crackers with 90 minutes of limitless wine or house pilsner for just £37.50.

Over at the immensely popular Polish restaurant Platzki, families can sample the new spring menu, which includes a variety of seasonal takes on authentic classics like pierogi, Gulasz, Platzki and Loses – salmon baked in sorrel sauce with a smoked egg on the side.
This year, every two-course meal comes with a complimentary slice of traditional Polish cheesecake or homemade apple pie for each mum who visits. Book HERE.
If you couldn’t quite stretch to a springtime city break but still fancy a taste of sun-drenched Spain, book a table at Evuna and try their exquisite March specials. This month’s highlights include Setas Con Almejas, a vibrant dish of sautéed wild mushrooms paired with tender white clams and Cebo Iberico, Potatoes Dauphinoise served with a velvety cheese sauce, and a hearty Lamb Stew with chorizo, white wine and halloumi to stave off the last cold snap of winter. Add a bottle of Naveran Brut Cava to make it a memorable meal in Madrid by way of Manchester.
For all the sweet-toothed mums around the city, Alex’s Bakery offers a quaint yet lavish Afternoon Tea for Two for just £34.90, served in a tower of finger sandwiches, fruit scones with jam and cream, quiche, brownies, Jammie Dodger blondies and customary cups of tea.
