This Mother’s Day, Waitrose is making it easier than ever to show mum just how loved she is, with standout food, thoughtful gifting and great value seasonal items designed to turn the day into something truly special.
From a delicious roast made with love, to indulgent afternoon teas and vibrant flowers that are sure to bring a smile, Waitrose’s Mother’s Day range puts flavour, quality and care at the heart of the celebration. Thoughtfully curated by the home of food lovers, it makes it easy to show you care with food.
A roast worth gathering for, now a third off
At the centre of the table this year is the Waitrose British Native Breed Large Beef Topside, available at a third off for Mother’s Day, with various other joints also set to be on offer. Sourced from British farmers we know and trust, and produced to higher animal welfare standards, the joints are expertly prepared for exceptional flavour and tenderness. Starting from £14.66 (per kg), they make it simple to create a memorable Mother’s Day meal.
Perfectly paired with classic ready-made sides to make hosting effortless, helping families put together a special Mother’s Day meal with less time in the kitchen. Accompany your roast with standout dishes from the No.1 range, including No.1 Cauliflower & Broccoli Three Cheese Gratin or the Waitrose No.1 Potato Dauphinoise, hosting becomes effortless. Bolstering exceptional flavour and quality, these ready-made sides help families create a special Mother’s Day meal with less time in the kitchen and more time around the table.
To finish on a sweet note, shoppers can choose indulgent desserts including the new No.1 Salted Caramel Brownie Basque Cheesecake (£7.50), an irresistible twist on the Spanish favourite: creamy baked caramel cheesecake on a double chocolate brownie base studded with milk chocolate chunks, with a layer of rich, indulgent salted caramel. Developed with the same attention to flavour and craft that defines the home of food lovers, it’s a treat designed to feel generous, comforting and celebratory, exactly what Mother’s Day calls for.
Afternoon tea, made effortless and 20% off
For those looking to treat mum to something sweet, Waitrose Afternoon Tea favourites are available with 20% off in the run up to Mother’s Day.

The set includes golden sponge cakes with vanilla buttercream and lemon curd, lemon sponge cakes soaked with orange juice and topped with orange buttercream, golden sponge cakes with raspberry buttercream and dried raspberry pieces. New seasonal treats, including lemon drizzle scones with Cornish clotted cream and playful heart shaped waffles, add a joyful twist to the occasion, perfect for brunches, grazing tables or surprise celebrations.
Beautiful blooms that mean more
Waitrose Mother’s Day flowers combine standout design with meaningful giving. This year a selection of Waitrose’s Mother’s Day bouquets contain Waitrose Foundation flowers which means with every purchase is giving back to the workers who grow and pick them.
Through the Waitrose Foundation, Waitrose continues to support farming communities in its supply chain around the world. The Waitrose Foundation funds projects that help improve access to education, healthcare and essential community resources, empowering workers and their families to build brighter, more secure futures.
Additionally, exclusive handmade Mother’s baskets featuring vibrant gerberas come with a donation to the 2Mothers charity, which collaborates with organisations in Bangladesh to help support families in need. Established to empower disadvantaged women caring for children with additional needs, the 2Mothers charity provides training, support and flexible work opportunities, enabling mothers to develop skills in working with natural jute fibres while remaining close to their children. By choosing this gift for a loved one this Mother’s Day, customers are supporting hardworking mothers in building brighter, more secure futures for their families.
Shoppers can also choose from the elegant No 1. Speciality Tulips (£18), statement flowering plants or the exclusive Emma Bridgewater Mother’s Day Jug (£25), if they're looking for a gift designed to last beyond the day itself.
Maddy Wilson, Own Brand Director at Waitrose, says: “Mother’s Day is a moment to share something special, whether that’s a traditional roast with all the trimmings, an elegant afternoon tea or a simple bunch of vibrant tulips. As the home of food lovers, Waitrose has carefully curated the range to make celebrating effortless, helping customers create meaningful moments around the table.”
Whether it’s a show stopping roast, an indulgent afternoon tea or flowers that brighten the room, Waitrose is helping families celebrate mum in the most heartfelt way, with food that speaks louder than words.
