Mother’s Day is one of the highlights of the year in Liverpool and Sunday 27th March is set to be extra special as families and loved ones dine with their mums across the city.
At The Art School on Sugnall Street, Paul Askew and his team have created an elegant 5-course menu inspired by the abundant regional produce across the region, with as many locally sourced ingredients used as possible. There is also a 3-course children’s menu for under 12s in anticipation of whole families coming out to mark the occasion.
As Paul continues to celebrate his 40th anniversary in food and drink and the recent 18th ranking in Harden’s Restaurant Guide 2022 for his restaurant, The Art School continues its journey in fine dining with many exciting plans to come. In April the restaurant is being recreated at Topham House at this year’s Grand National and Paul is the creative director for the Taste Liverpool, Drink Bordeaux festival in June across the Jubilee Weekend.
Paul says: “Mother’s Day is always such a special moment across Liverpool and we know how much the people of the city love to treat their mums. So with this in mind, we’ve created what we hope is a true reflection of where we are at as a restaurant and working with the suppliers around us on their farms and fields which informs what ends up on our menus. It’s going to be a great day for everyone, whether that’s sons and daughters treating their mums or whole families out together, sharing love and reflecting on this lovely moment. We can’t wait to welcome our guests to The Art School on Sunday 27th March.”
