5 reasons to visit Cheshire’s beautiful Carden Park Hotel and Spa

It’s Mother’s Day this weekend, and if you want to show your mum she means the world to you – and more – we know just the thing.

Carden Park Hotel and Spa in Cheshire has created a special Sunday Lunch, and the main event three-course menu’s guaranteed to come with a side dish of magical memories that everyone will want to share!

Served in the hotel’s luxurious Redmond’s Brasserie, the menu’s been prepared by Carden Park’s talented team of chefs who’ll be bringing the elegance and flair of Carden cuisine to the much-loved British tradition of a Sunday roast.

With starters like Glazed Smoked Haddock Rarebit served on toasted sour dough with a soft poached egg and salsa verde, or mains like Roast Saddle of New Season Lamb stuffed with spinach, wild mushroom and thyme (and did we mention puds like Warm Baked Pear and Almond Sponge Tart?) it’ll say ‘love you mum’ in spades.

It’s only available this Sunday, at £45 for adults and £25 for children, and it’s a treat that comes with the greatest gift of all, time together. But it’s not just on Mother’s Day that Carden Park’s a shoo-in for a winning destination.

It doesn’t matter whether your idea of heaven is relaxation with a muscle-melting massage, hitting a par 3 with your favourite 9-iron, or feasting on fabulous food, Carden Park can help you tick off any one of those (or all three if you really want to transport yourself to paradise!).

The luxury hotel and spa is the ultimate in escapism with a range of unforgettable experiences to indulge in – for yourself, with friends, or with your family. And we can guarantee that, with all this to enjoy, one visit will never be enough …
