There’s nobody like mum.
From taking care of us when we are ill to giving us the pep talk at the right moments, mothers are our biggest supports throughout life.
That’s why we should try and give our mothers something extra special this year.

From steak pie and roast potatoes to tikka masala and garlic naan bread there’s something for everyone and the kids (adults too actually) love the selection of desserts, especially the chocolate fountain.
At Taza, it’s a fixed price for your starters, mains and desserts, during lunch (exit before 5pm) it’s £4.99 for kids up to 12 years and £9.99 for everyone else (little ones might not have to pay at all) just call for us or see the website for more details.
