Dining…

Veeno: We say this is a guide for mother’s day, but in all honesty, this one is going to be a gift for yourself too. We’re all about treating ourselves over here. If your mum has a taste for the finer things in life, then let us recommend the Italian Afternoon Tea for two over at Veeno. Think classic afternoon tea with a delicious Italian twist, all paired with a crisp bottle of Prosecco Rosé. If fine wine is more your thing, they also have a bunch of wine tasting options with both red and white wines available, and of course, a wide selection of tasty nibbles too.

Kai: There are always top tier Sunday brunch vibes over at Kai, and with a whole menu dedicated to all your brunch favourites, we’d expect nothing less. If your mum is a sweet bruncher, opt for the fluffy American pancakes with a triple biscoff topping. If she’s a savoury bruncher, try the oozing runny poached eggs on sourdough with hollandaise. Personally, the winning combo has got to be one savoury dish, one sweet dish, split it down the middle and share a bit of everything. Everybody’s happy.

Knight & Garter: A truly beautiful venue with an even more impressive, ever changing seasonal menu. This stunningly designed brasserie pride themselves on using only the freshest ingredients, earning them the award of ‘Leicestershire Pub of the Year 2022’. Definitely a showstopper for all your special occasions, we just know your mum will love it there.

East Street Lanes: For all the competitive mums – this has got to be one of our favourite family friendly activities in Leicester City Centre. Nothing says true family love than attempting to totally annihilate one another in a game, right? Think classic bowling fun in a boutique, premium setting. The perfect activity to start a mother’s day extravangza.

Cocoa Amore workshop: Chocolate is always a crowd pleaser and Cocoa Amore have got all the good stuff. But if you want to take things one step further this Mother’s day, you can spend some quality time learning about the joys of chocolatiering and immerse yourself in the art of chocolate making. Not only a beautiful way to spend a few hours with mum, but you also get the added bonus of walking away with a stash of tasty treats.
