Mother’s Day meal deliveries to pamper her palate

Nothing says thank you quite so articulately as great food. And surely few people are more worthy of gratitude than our mums. That’s why, in the run-up to Mother’s Day, we have compiled some of our favourite meal delivery options. Though we can’t make a mess of their kitchens whilst cooking up a feast of our own, thanks to the recent explosion of quality home deliveries, we can still send them a royal banquet fit for a queen. Here are our favourite offerings.

Occasions by Hakkasan

Just in time for Mother’s Day, Michelin-starred Hakkasan has launched its special delivery service Occasions by Hakkasan, which sees their signature dishes translated into a cook-at-home feast, available for delivery across London. Packaged in a beautifully designed keepsake box, complete with chopsticks, incense and a reusable bamboo steamer, the box brings Hakkasan’s classic Cantonese dishes to doorsteps within the M25 to be recreated at home. The Occasions by Hakkasan signature menu includes a selection of some of their most popular dishes: Dim Sum; Grilled Chilean Sea Bass in Honey; Smoked Beef Ribs with Jasmine Tea; Hakka Noodles; and Stir-Fried Baby Broccoli and Preserved Olive. For dessert is a delivery exclusive, the Hakkasan Chocolate Soufflé, specially developed for the occasion. The Occasions by Hakkasan box costs £200 for 2 people. Order online here.
