Mother’s Day


 

Her Majesty for the Afternoon

Mother’s Day, Sunday 10 May

Darling Glebe throws open its velvet colonnade, slips on a tiara, and whispers palace gossip across its sandstone arches. Chef Jeff revives the very dishes he once served the British royal family’s private dinners at The Savoy Hotel, inviting Sydney to taste monarchy on holiday for one lunch and one twilight encore. 

  • Begin with a crystal coupe of the Queen’s Cocktail, Dubonnet and gin, brisk as palace morning air.

  • Glide on to Princess Diana’s poached salmon tartare, lime sharp and paparazzi smooth.

  • Meet Queen Elizabeth II’s scallops, pearls resting in corn silk and curtseying beneath a caviar crown. 

  • The Queen Mother interrupts with Champagne snow granita, strawberries skinny dipping because protocol stepped out.

  • A second bow to Elizabeth II arrives as lamb loin poché, vegetables in evening wear, potatoes buttered like palace gossip, and horseradish delivering the regal glare.

  • The finale belongs to the Queen Mother: warm chocolate fondant folding into itself while raspberries swoon and Cointreau cream flutters its lace fan.

To Unveil the Queen’s Menu:

The Grand Plan

  • Date: Sunday 10 May 2026 

  • Times:

    • One leisurely lunch sitting from noon (prix-fixe menu only) 

    • And 5pm for dinner with a choice of the same royal set or wander our à la carte.

  • Prices:

    • The Royal Flashback, for grown-ups: $175 (The Queen’s Cocktail, five courses and a whisper of Savoy gossip) 

    • Young Royals, ages 12–17: $125 (full menu, minus Dubonnet & granita)

    • Little Rascals, under 12: $65 (tuck into an abbreviated feast) 

  • Optional Wine Flights (the kind of pairings that makes a corgi curtsy):

    • The Coronation Cellar, $85: four classic pours Mornington Chardonnay, Heidsieck Brut Réserve, Canterbury Pinot, apricot kissed late harvest Viognier.

    • The Crown Jewels, $145: to level up for Diana’s Chablis, Blanc de Blancs sparkle, Central Otago Pinot silk and midnight Pedro Ximénez

  • Capacity: 60 thrones only; seats scarcer than spare corgis

Why Book?

Flowers wilt, spa vouchers yawn, but tasting monarchy in a sandstone icon writes itself into family folklore. It’s the perfect gift for mums who deserve a coronation, and anyone who practises their royal wave at traffic lights.

Reserve your seat before the corgis fetch them all:

Martini etiquette enforced, tiaras encouraged.
