Just as families are debating where to celebrate Mother's Day this year and North East restaurants gear up for a mass of bookings, a new list of top brunch and lunch spots has been revealed which adds even more food for thought.
A meal out is usually first choice for a special Mother's Day treat, given that mothers often spend so much of their time cooking for others, and - just in time for the big day on March 19 - OpenTable has come up with its new round-up of 'the UK's 'most beloved brunches and Sunday lunches' for 2023 - and three of them are in the North East.
The online reservation site says its 'top-rated spots' are determined by more than one million diner reviews, adding: "Mums deserve more than your average lunch on Mother’s Day". And included on the list is a restaurant in Newcastle; another across the Tyne in Gateshead plus a coastal favourite.
