Mother’s Day is known to be one of the busiest days in the caterer's calendar
Coming up on Sunday 10th March, whether you’re planning a special three-course set Mother’s Day Menu or a classy afternoon tea, we have lots of ideas here for you; as well as tips on how to reduce waste and prepare a budget-friendly Mother’s Day offering.
Mother’s Day Drinks
To start with, when it comes to Mother’s Day drinks options, these mini Ca’Bolani Prosecco bottles are a nice touch – either as a complimentary gift to take away for the guest of honour or to help reduce wastage on the day.
We also have a range of organic Vinca wines in cans – again, reducing waste (as you don’t have to open a whole bottle) and there is less glass filling up your bins. And if you’re looking for a nice soft drink option, Folkingtons and Belvoir both have fantastic ranges of non-alcoholic tipples that are great for special occasions.
Mother’s Day Starter
We love these quick-frozen authentic Italian pasta options, including this tasty vegan red filled pasta with chickpea and vegetables, these giant pasta parcels filled with ricotta and asparagus, or this elegant crab and lobster tortelli, all of which come frozen for extra freshness and cook in minutes.
Or you can always go for a nice soup with a selection of freshly baked breads. Choose from these great, frozen part-baked options to elevate your starter from frozen bartard loaves (which come up really crusty), these frozen spelt loaves or this tasty olive and rosemary break bread.

Mother’s Day Mains
When it comes to Mother’s Day Mains, we have a fantastic selection of new, hearty Little and Cull pies – premium pies, lovingly made in Devon.
We have five great flavours available, including a vegan option, and these come in packs of six, which means they take up much less room in your freezer if you like to change your menu often. Why not try the Steak and Devon Blue pie, Chicken and Wild Mushroom pie, or the vegan cauliflower, spinach and lentil pie?
Pair with seasonal veg or a salad and you’re on to a winner - much easier and often lighter than prepping a full Sunday roast.
Mother’s Day Desserts
Always a firm favourite, for pudding we have some great gluten-free chocolate orange tarts (serve one option which can suit lots of people), a white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake or a vegan and gluten-free blackcurrant crumble – great with ice cream or hot custard!
And similarly, you can’t go wrong with a nice piece of pre-sliced apple pie, served with cream, ice cream or custard.
Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea
Afternoon tea is always a winner and a great way to mark a special occasion in foodservice. And with these premium, frozen buys – you can cut down on the prep time in the kitchen and easily control waste!
From frozen mini fruit scones, frozen mini cake assortments, frozen mini quiches and even frozen macarons, it can be quick and easy to offer a budget-friendly afternoon tea this Mother’s Day.
Get the look - buy the white melamine platter and the two-tier display stand.
Even these Rodda's clotted cream pots come frozen! Meaning all you have to worry about is your sandwich selection.
