Saturday 29th March – Brunch & Afternoon Tea
Mother’s Day Brunch – 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM
There’s no better way to start Mother’s Day weekend than with a relaxed riverside brunch.
Maybe Mum fancies our signature eggs royale, topped with silky hollandaise and smoked salmon on toasted sourdough. Or perhaps she’ll go for fluffy buttermilk pancakes, stacked high and drizzled with maple syrup.
For those who love a savoury classic, our full English is cooked to perfection, featuring locally sourced ingredients and everything she loves.
🍹 Bonus Treat: Every Mum will receive a complimentary Mimosa, because brunch is always better with bubbles.
Pair it with freshly brewed coffee or a seasonal juice, and soak up the peaceful riverside setting.
Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea – From 3:00 PM
If Mum enjoys elegant, slow-paced dining, then afternoon tea at The Stag on the River is a must.
Think warm, buttery scones, delicate finger sandwiches, and handcrafted patisserie treats—all beautifully presented for a truly indulgent experience.
🥂 Bonus Treat: A complimentary glass of fizz for Mum, because no afternoon tea is complete without a toast.
Prefer something warming? We offer a selection of loose-leaf teas and barista-made coffees to complement the occasion.
If you’re looking for a quieter way to celebrate, afternoon tea on Saturday is the perfect alternative to Sunday’s buzz.
Sunday 30th March – A Feast Fit for Mum
Breakfast – 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Start the day slow and relaxed with a beautifully prepared breakfast.
Maybe Mum prefers something light, like Greek yoghurt with granola and fresh berries. Or perhaps she’ll go for scrambled eggs with smoked salmon on toasted sourdough.
🍹 Bonus Treat: A complimentary Mimosa for Mum, because every great morning should start with a little sparkle.
Mother’s Day Lunch – From 11:45 AM
Mother’s Day lunch at The Stag is a proper Sunday feast, made to be shared and enjoyed together.
Maybe Mum will opt for the dry-aged sirloin of British beef, paired with pulled featherblade and homemade horseradish cream. Or perhaps she’ll be tempted by the rosemary-roasted leg of lamb, served with a crisp pea & ricotta bon bon and homemade mint jelly.
For something a little lighter, the roast cod loin with crispy gnocchi and a vibrant salsa verde is packed with delicate, fresh flavours. And for those who love a meat-free option, the truffled mushroom & celeriac pithivier is a dish that’s both indulgent and packed with depth.
🍾 Bonus Treat: Every Mum will receive a complimentary glass of fizz to toast to the occasion.
Of course, every roast is served with crisp roast potatoes, buttered seasonal greens, and homemade gravy.
And if she still has room, our dessert menu is filled with indulgent treats, from silky chocolate tarts to warm fruit crumbles—because no celebration is complete without a little sweetness.
