Mother’s Day Sunday Roast – Celebrate with a Feast

Mother’s Day Sunday Roast – Celebrate with a Feast

We owe so much to our mothers, so what better way to show love and gratitude than through the joy of food? A proper Sunday roast, featuring the finest grass-fed, native breed meat, is the perfect way to make her feel truly special.

From the moment we’re born, food is a love language between mother and child. Mothers nourish and provide, going to great lengths to satisfy both our stomachs and our souls - often for years on end!

So, let’s return the favour. Gather the family, set the table, and cook up a feast in her honour. Whether it’s a succulent whole chicken, a beautifully trimmed rib of beef, a classic leg of lamb, or something a little different like porchetta, boned and rolled mutton shoulder, or lamb saddle, we have everything you need for a truly memorable meal.

Serve it with crispy roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and rich gravy. Pour her favourite tipple, raise a toast, and give her a day where she doesn’t lift a finger - because she deserves nothing less.

Mother's Day Roast Lunch – Cook with Love

When it comes to Mother’s Day meal ideas, the menu will likely be guided by what she loves most. In our house, that would mean a leg of lamb, studded with garlic and rosemary, roasted to a perfect medium, and served with crispy roast potatoes, caramelised parsnips, and minted peas, plus plenty of rich gravy and lashings of mint sauce.

Or why not slow-roast a whole lamb shoulder? Meltingly tender and full of deep flavour, it pairs beautifully with white beans and a punchy salsa verde - a dish that’s as comforting as it is impressive.

For something extra special, Val’s Rolled Beef Sirloin Recipe with Porcini & Vermouth Sauce is a stunning alternative to a classic Sunday roast. The potatoes take a little more effort, but that’s no problem - because you really love your mum, remember?

Alternatively, roll back the years with a touch of nostalgia. Poach a ham and cook carrots and potatoes in the same fragrant stock, then make a proper parsley sauce, just like Jane Grigson would have done. Simple, hearty, and a taste of home for mums of a certain generation.

Whatever you cook for your mum this Mother’s Day, do it with love. Shop our Mother’s Day roast collection and make this Sunday truly special.
