5 places to take your mam in Newcastle this Mother’s Day

Food and drink

We don’t know about you, but nothing makes us feel like celebrating than getting all dressed up and heading out for a fancy dinner, drinks, or even just a cosy Sunday roast. Whatever your mum’s favourite cuisine, we’ve got you covered. Here’s our favourites for good scran, lush cocktails, and a banging afternoon tea this Mother’s Day.

Central Oven and Shaker

Picture this: pizza, pasta and… pornstar martinis? At Neville Street’s Central Shaker, you can have it all with their mix of mouth-watering Italian dishes and expertly mixed cocktails.

For those mums looking to truly indulge, we recommend the Cheese Fondue pizza (trust us, it’s as decadent as it sounds), washed down with Central’s Peardrop Punch, a vodka cocktail featuring pear puree, apple juice, and a raspberry sugar sprinkle. If you’re looking to shake things up this Mother’s Day, definitely give Central Oven and Shaker a try.

A cheese and sugar coma? Count us (and our mums) in. You can find out more about Central Shaker and book a table via their website.

Jesmond Dene House

If you’re feeling faaancy this Mother’s Day, grab your mum and head to the famous Jesmond Dene House for their Mother’s Day afternoon tea. Held in the stunning Great Hall on Sunday 19th March, this is definitely a luxury experience your mum won’t want to miss.

Expect to be served a delectable selection of scones, cakes, sandwiches, and savoury treats, all to a backdrop of amazing live music. Highlights include their Earl Grey and Raisin scone, Roasted Red Pepper and Basil Tart and, of course, the classic Victoria Sponge. Did we mention you get a glass of fizz too?
