Mum’s the word

Mother's Day has the potential to be one of the busiest days in your calendar so get your menus organised and advertise early. Sunday lunch is the traditional offering but there’s scope to expand the opportunity by opening your doors earlier and promoting a Mother's Day Brunch.

• Price the menu to make it affordable for families and cost-effective for you

• Consider a fixed menu or give the Instagram craze of grazing boards a go

• Include kids options on the menu

• It’s good to offer sweet and savoury, and sharing boards provide good value for you and your customers

• A welcome cocktail or mocktail is always a winner!

• Contact a local florist to offer a small bunch of flowers for mums to take home at a small extra charge
