While big Sunday lunches with all the family are finally back on the cards for Mothering Sunday 2022, some mums may still prefer a more low-key celebration at home this year. That, however, is no excuse for not treating your mum to the day of pampering she deserves. Once you’ve found the perfect Mother’s Day gift, it’s time to turn your attention to dinner, and many of the capital’s top restaurants are once again stepping up with fine dining deliveries and finish-at-home kits perfect for making her feel special.

Home by Simon Rogan

Simon Rogan’s Mother’s Day meal kits were such a hit that they sold out within days of launching last year. For 2022, Rogan has created a lavish new three-course meal in his Cartmel kitchens. Enjoy a starter of caramelised potatoes, broth of roasted Roscoff onions, lemon thyme and comté, a main of stuffed breast of Guinea hen and confit leg with softened leeks and toasted yeast, and a dessert of white chocolate cream with preserved blackberries and almond. For an extra treat for mum, add a cheese course, discovery wine flight or classic G&T aperitivo to your order.

The River Cafe

The River Cafe’s finish-at-home boxes have become so popular over the last two years that its range now numbers four delicious meals, with the Cornish roast chicken and its signature Tuscan lunch box making the perfect choice for Mother’s Day. Filled with fine, seasonal ingredients, the Tuscan lunch box offers a quintessential taste of Italy, featuring grissini, pecorino riserva, salame al Barolo and ribollita. The roast chicken, meanwhile, puts an Italian twist on the classic, stuffed with rosemary, sage, bay and tangy Amalfi lemon. The feast is complete with a decadent chocolate hazelnut espresso cake and bottle of Chianti Classico Fontodi, paired with the menu by expert sommeliers. Buon appetito!
