Where to enjoy a special Sunday lunch this Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day gives Chesterfield the perfect excuse to slow down, gather around the table and enjoy the kind of Sunday roast that defines our town’s warm, welcoming character. We’ve pulled together a line-up of venues that champion local flavour, celebrate Derbyshire produce, and turn a simple roast into a moment that feels worth sharing.
The Tickled Trout delivers a confident and generous take on the Sunday roast, especially with its much-loved ‘A Bit of Both’ option. Featuring Derbyshire roast beef and pork loin sharing one abundant plate. Mashed and herbed roasted potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, glazed vegetables and applesauce complete a dish that leans fully into comfort.
Set just outside Chesterfield, the pub’s countryside backdrop creates a gentle escape from everyday life.
Inside Ringwood Hall Hotel and Spa, The Coach House showcases technique and attention with its standout twice-roasted pork belly. Crisp crackling, rich tender meat, and a sense of occasion throughout.
It’s a refined option that works as part of a spa day or a leisurely afternoon in grand surroundings.
The Red Lion at Peak Edge offers a Sunday roast experience that leans towards luxury dining whilst championing its local roots, with Derbyshire Spring lamb and Belted Galloway beef sourced from its own Walton Lodge Farm.
The stylish countryside setting just outside Chesterfield adds a sense of calm indulgence to Mother’s Day lunch.

As an added treat, mums receive a complimentary glass of prosecco or a soft drink, creating a relaxed and fuss-free experience for families seeking a casual celebration.
The Galleon goes all-in on choice and generosity, with Three-Meat Dinners for those who love variety and a Sharing Roast for Two built around a show-stopping four-bone rack of lamb.

Right in the heart of Chesterfield, The Galleon sits only moments from our Crooked Spire and surrounding historic streets. Its central spot allows families to pair a slow, generous Sunday lunch with a wander past local landmarks or through Queen’s Park, bringing an easy, unhurried flow to your day.
Also in Chesterfield town centre, The Pig & Pump stands out for making a proper Sunday roast feel easy and accessible. Along with usual favourites such as honey and mustard roast gammon, their menu features a whole lamb shank, providing a unique alternative to sliced meats.
