Problem
I did a bit of ringing around for somebody who wanted to invite his mother for mother's day lunch in London, England.
I found
Grimsdyke Hotel
Tel
£39 per person lunch fully booked. They are also doing tea and dinner.
The Barn Hotel, Hawtrey's restaurant, mother day lunch at £38.95 per person. Full booked.
Tel: 01895 636057.
As they say of vineyards, the time to plant is twenty years ago. The time to book mother's day lunch is not the night before. It's getting like the Edinburgh Festival. You have to book for the following year.
My other favourites:
HATCH END, PINNER & BUSHEY HEATH
Pinner
Osteria Modigliani
New On The Block
Porta Grande, Italian cuisine (took over from Fellini)
www.portagrande.co.uk
tel:0208 428 4359.
The Steak Restaurant, 316 Uxbridge Road, Hatch End, HA5 4HR, tel 0208 421 2878.
Old On The Block
Black Pepper, 461 Uxbridge Road, Hatch End HA5 4JA.

'At the heart of Hatch End', says their website, neatly alliterative. I've had great meals here many times, over the years.
Sea Pebbles, 352 Uxbridge Road, Hatch End, Pinner HA5 4HR. tel 0208 428 0203.

Chips is what they are famous for. (For Americans, British chips are like French fries but more potato. Not potato crisps.)
Sea Pebbles has another branch at 114-116 High Road, Bushey Heath WD23 1GE but I think the Hatch End branch is bigger and better atmosphere and great murals.
They ran an ad in Optima saying @5% off food NOT drinks, last Monday of the month. Next ones would be March 26th, and April 23rd, which is St George's Day, England's national day and Shakespeare's birthday, but Sea Pebbles ad said their last day of the month offer includes bank holidays.
Cafe Rouge, Pinner
Wtih two family birthdays in the month of March I get to see vouchers for Prosecco which last up to 6 weeks from the birthday, which is great, as it's hard for us to get all the family in one country at one time.

French style chain with 120 restaurants across the UK, in London at Pinner, Ruislip and many more. Large venues so you have a higher chance of getting a table. The Ruislip branch has a parking area behind the restaurant.
Huge menu. Everybody is bound to see something they like.
If you can't get into an upmarket, gourmet restaurant, you could opt for a cheap meal out try a pub or a carvery. However, be prepared for a race track of children.
People may complain that you should treat mother well every day of the year, or for a meal out every Sunday, but the commercialisation of Mother's Day seems to be a great success for restaurants.
If all else fails, treat mother on Monday or Tuesday or next week. But those who are at work, and have the funds to take mother out for a meal would prefer a Sunday, so maybe next year.
