The Yan at Grasmere, one of the best places to eat in the Lake District and recent winner of Casual Dining Venue of the Year at the Cumbria Food Awards, is offering a special sharing feast to celebrate Mother’s Day this year.
The family-run bistro-with-beds will have a one-off Mother’s Day menu of lavish sharing boards and dessert, available to locals as well as guests, with everything created from scratch in-house by Executive Chef Will Manley and his team.
The Yan’s Mother’s Day sharing board options include yorkshire puddings stuffed full of slow-cooked beef brisket or shoulder of Herdwick lamb wrapped in cured ham, and these will both be accompanied by creamy mashed potato, rosemary roasted potatoes, cauliflower cheese, roasted green beans, carrot and courgette, plus stuffing and red wine gravy. There will be an indulgent sharing dessert of banoffee pie cheesecake with brulee banana and brandy snap shards too.
Named after the word for ‘one’ in Cumbrian dialect, The Yan has a rustic bistro and an additional dining space called The Chalet which has views over Helm Crag. It offers guests a wholesome welcome, hearty food and stylish interiors, all on a former 17th Century farm at the foot of the fells, just outside the pretty village of Grasmere.
The Yan’s special Mother’s Day menu is available for one day only on Mother’s Day itself – Sunday 27thMarch. Sharing boards cost £38.95 and feed two people and the sharing dessert costs £11.95 and also feeds two. To find out more, please visit www.theyan.co.uk.
