Durham restaurant creates unforgettable moments this Mothering Sunday

Driven by the enduring memory of his own mother, Maria Rosa Gallina, the famed chef and restaurateur Marco Pierre White knows all too well the importance of making the most of having someone special you can love, appreciate and have around as a guiding light.

The team at his Steakhouse Bar & Grill at Old Shire Hall, Old Elvet is now preparing for one of the busiest days of the year, where guests will be able to enjoy a family meal together while spoiling the most important person in their life.

Tom Orange, general manager said: “Our Sunday lunches are always popular and this Mothering Sunday will be no exception. We’ll also be running our afternoon tea if families are looking to do something slightly different and is just as nice a way to get everyone together and offers a mix of sweet and savoury treats.

“Marco said in his book ‘The Devil in the Kitchen’ that it wasn’t until he was 31-years-old before he could analyse the tremendous impact of his mother’s life, and death, upon his own.

“Treating your mum to a nice Sunday lunch or afternoon tea in a relaxed environment is a lovely way to show how much you care.

“Mums are always running around after everyone else and often don’t take any time for themselves. A meal out will show her that she can be looked after too and give her a day to remember.

“That’s why we’ll be pulling out all the stops so that from the moment guests arrive they are made to feel special, especially the mums.”
