Mother's Day at Knebworth House

Mothering Sunday is fast approaching and gone are the days when sticking dried pasta on a handmade card was a passable effort. Why not do something special this year and treat your mum to a delicious meal at Knebworth House? Our special Mother’s Day menu will be served in our 16th Century Tithe Barns with access to our formal gardens including the Dinosaur Trail. The exclusive three-course meal is £28 per person (£15 for children aged 2 to 13 years) and includes a free gift for every Mother.

The Mother’s Day menu selection includes gorgeous Smoked Haddock, Lemon and Dill Fishcakes, scrumptious Pot-Roasted Breast of Chicken with Herb-Crushed Potatoes and luscious Chocolate Truffle Cake with Red Berry Mousse. All food is freshly made by our expert chefs using seasonal produce. See the full menu below.

January is the time when I begin to put some flesh on the bones of the ideas planned for the coming year. We constantly review and refresh menus at Knebworth, from sandwiches and salads within the day-visitor offer in the Garden Terrace Room, to looking at food trends and styles for the forthcoming wedding and conference season.

To develop the array of food on offer in The Garden Terrace Room at Knebworth this year we are focusing on further extending our hand-made cakes and pastries, with an eye on dietary requirements. A new and exciting supplier we’ve found this year means that we are developing a range of gluten-free cakes and pastries; in conjunction with this we are also developing gluten-free and vegan sandwiches and wraps.
