It will be Mother’s Day on Sunday. Why not say thanks by
making a meal of it?
It doesn’t have to be this Sunday but treating Mum to afternoon tea or dinner somewhere swish would be a thoughtful way of showing how much you appreciate her.
We have listed five suggestions but there are many more among our Big Deals.

Wonderful reviews
Fat Lobster has received plenty of praise from customers for both the quality of food and amazing service. Here are a couple of recent reviews:
‘Absolutely loved my anniversary meal here last night. The food was unreal especially the lobster roll but to be honest the staff were the highlight for me, super friendly and hilarious.’
‘Everything about the food is ridiculously good. The only reason we never ordered more is because we literally couldn’t eat anything else. Amazing. The service from start to finish was outstanding, can’t do enough for you. We will be back for sure.’
If she likes seafood then this Big Deal has Mum written all over it. Bear in mind the end of March validity.

Excellent reviews on TripAdvisor
“This is certainly different from the usual hop on and off bus. The staff are extremely friendly and want to make sure you have the best experience possible. We went on a rainy day and a member of the team Elaine kept wiping the condensation from the front window to ensure our view was not blocked, what more can you ask for! Would highly recommend the elderflower gin pot it’s amazing. Oh and of course the food is tremendous.”
Take Mum for a spin with this Big Deal from the Red Bus Bistro. They also run in Glasgow.
