Mum's the word at Stanley House Hotel

Stanley House created a Mother’s Day to remember this Sunday, 14 March 2010, as 100 guests enjoyed an afternoon of fine dining and flowers at Lancashire’s boutique hotel.

Families dined on a specially created, three-course, Mother’s Day menu prepared by the award winning chefs of Cassis, while enjoying the dulcet tones of swing singer Paul Guard.

Guests enjoyed a choice of four sumptuous starters, together with main courses including; slow cooked Cumbrian beef rump, roast loin of pork, confit leg of duckling or a poached fillet of salmon. Desserts included; chocolate bread and butter pudding, lemon tart, Banoffi pie or a cheese plate, followed by tea, coffee and treats.

Then it was out to the landscaped gardens, where children planted a selection of bulbs including purple Alliums and Gladioli, in the freshly dug flowerbeds by the patio of Cassis restaurant.

Stanley House’s general manager, Oliver Cooke, commented: “With the crisp, sunny days, spring has finally sprung in Lancashire. Mother’s Day is about celebrating all our mums, while offering something fun for our younger guests. We hope the children will come back in the summer to see the fruits of their labour.”
