Faber, Hammersmith

Hammersmith’s coastal-inspired restaurant Faber is offering a special set menu this Mother’s Day, evoking fond memories of family holidays on the British seaside. Co-founders Matt and Anthony concocted the concept of Faber during lockdown, delivering shellfish, seafood, and cocktails on their bikes in East London, before transforming The Victoria Mile End into an East London boozer big on fish. On 10 March, executive chef Ollie Bass will serve his Mother’s Day menu featuring seafood favourites such as John Dory with parsnip and parsley and monkfish wrapped in Coombeshead pancetta, as well as pork belly in calvados jus and kale. To finish, choose between the sticky toffee pudding and the borage starflower honey tart with creme fraise.

The Kensington, South Kensington

A home away from home where she doesn’t have to lift a finger, Sunday lunch at The Kensington offers a deliciously indulgent blend of style and comfort this Mother’s Day. Toast the woman of the hour with the new Merci Mother’s Day cocktail, served in the restaurant’s adjoining K Bar and combining Amaretto Disaronno and Calvados with a drizzle of honey and splash of lavender soda.

The lunch menu champions Britain’s seasonal produce, featuring smoked salmon with poached St Ewe’s egg, sun dried tomatoes and homemade croutons to start before choosing between two sharing mains: grass-fed sirloin beef roast or Blythburgh roast pork belly from one of Suffolk’s finest free-range farms. Both are designed for two people and come with Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and a fresh, flavour-packed orange, squash, rocket and radish salad. A fitting finale of lime and coconut parfait flower with marinated pineapple, or the savoury lover's cheese selection, will finish off the meal a treat before venturing out into the leafy surrounds of well-heeled South Kensington.

Available on both days, give the woman in your life the perfect start to the day with the weekend breakfast menu, featuring a selection of dishes from the breakfast menu – think mini viennoiseries, eggs benedict, and buttermilk pancakes – served alongside a rhubarb and strawberry Bellini. 

For a heartier celebration meal, opt for the Mother’s Day set menu on 10 March featuring highlights of twice-baked gratinated cheese soufflé with basil and lovage pesto, artichoke and sweet potato tagine and the classic chicken Milanese with baby plum tomatoes, capers and rocket.
