You\u2019re no Jamie Oliver and you admit it. We totally understanding (trust me, some of the Bags of Love team can\u2019t even make toast without causing the fire alarm to go off.) If you don\u2019t fancy giving one of our favourite recipes from yesterday\u2019s post a go, no problem! For those who would rather take mum out for a slap up meal, we have created a list of some of our favourite places to dine in and around London \u2013 perfect for treating mum. So make yourself a cup of tea and have a gander at these lovely eateries.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t beat a classic British tea and what could be a nicer treat for mum than an amazing tea in central London? Our personal favourite though has to be The Mad Hatter\u2019s Tea at the Sanderson Hotel. From a kooky choice of teas, a Victoria jelly service and the most imaginative cakes and sandwiches possible, this tea party will get a definite thumbs up from mum for sure! Click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.afternoontea.co.uk\/uk\/london\/oxford-street\/sanderson-hotel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> to find out more.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Next up is something for the more adventurous mum. A fab little secret in Crouch End, North London; Banners! This little place looks intriguing from the outside, with its colourful and slight mish mash appearance, and inside the intrigue grows \u2013 mismatched furniture, a fun bar, random paraphernalia on the walls and a specials board to die for! From jerk chicken, goat curry, calamari, classic burgers, all day breakfasts and the yummiest banoffee pie ever to a great cocktail and drinks list, this fun spot in North London has something for everyone. Book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bannersrestaurant.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Located in one of London\u2019s most stunning parks and fashionable areas, Holland Park, The Belvedere dates back to the 17th century, where it was once a stunning ballroom of Holland House. This is a fancy one; amazing interior, picturesque, grand, perfect for mum! Take her for their traditional 3 course Sunday lunch and indulge her and when lunch is over, walk it off with a stroll in the park. Click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.belvedererestaurant.co.uk\/Home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here <\/a>to find out more.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For a fun and causal lunch, one of our favourite spots is Bill\u2019s Caf\u00e9. Originally from Brighton, Bill\u2019s has now opened up with a number of venues in London and the surrounding areas. Our favourite Bill\u2019s are the ones in St Albans, Hertfordshire and Covent Garden, Central London. With yummy treats like mac and cheese, fish pie and fish finger sandwiches on the menu, this is a great place to spend a relaxed afternoon treating mum to some delish food. Find your nearest Bill\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/bills-website.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our final pick for Mother\u2019s Day is set in one of the prettiest high streets in London \u2013 Primrose Hill. Limonia is a great choice for Mother\u2019s Day. With an extensive and delicious Greek menu, a fun, bustling atmosphere and friendly, attentive service, this Greek hot spot set a minutes\u2019 walk from Primrose Hill is sure to get you in mum\u2019s good books. Make sure you get the baklava! Check out their site <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lemonia.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you\u2019ve managed to find some inspiration there and don\u2019t forget to let us know in the comments below what you choose to do on Mother\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<p><em>Bags of Love x<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, so cooking isn\u2019t your thing.
