USUALLY, when restaurants offer free meals to families it’s the children who eat free, but later this month a Reading diner is letting Mum enjoy the freebie.
The Coconut Tree on Kings Road is hosting the offer on Mothering Sunday, March 19.
Serving Sri Lankan food, the diner is letting one mother, grandmother or caregiver enjoy up to three items from its menu for free, for each paying customer.
The company’s owners say many of its dishes were inspired by their mothers and grandmothers, including a Black Pork which uses a spice blend created by Granny Gertie. Rashintha Rodrigo said: “At The Coconut Tree, we highly value family and consider mums, and all those who demonstrate love and care towards others on a daily basis, as heroes.
“To show our appreciation, we wanted to do something to express our gratitude and say thank you from our team to them.”
Some of the dishes in the offer include The Coconut Tree’s Egg Hopper, a bowl-shaped coconut milk pancake, and Kotthu, made with finely chopped Rotti, veggies and/or meat.
