When Good Food Kitchen, a popular restaurant in Wotton-under-Edge, requested photos of mums to celebrate Mother’s Day, the team was bowled over by the abundant response.
A post on the restaurant’s social media read: ‘We love Wotton’s mums! To help celebrate Mother’s Day and all of our amazing mums, please send us your favourite photo of your mum and we’ll decorate the restaurant window with it for Mother’s Day!’
“Within minutes of posting, we were getting messages, emails and responses, with people posting their favourite photos of their lovely mums”, said Jeremy McGovern, owner of Good Food Kitchen.
“We had more than 50 images on the first day, and we’ve now displayed those photos for the community to see.
“It’s truly heartwarming to see how many people wanted to show their love for their mums, posting pictures and tagging their mums, who all loved the gesture. We share the sentiment at Good Food Kitchen; we are serving a Mother’s Day brunch on 30th March, where each table receives a free bouquet of flowers for mum.
“We will wait for more photos to come in over the weekend, so if you want to celebrate your mum in our window, make sure you send us your favourite photo by Monday when we’ll print and hang any more we receive.”
Good Food Kitchen celebrates its first birthday today, Friday, and has made a massive impact on the community within a year, bringing together competing eateries for ‘Dine Wotton’, an initiative that rewards people for dining out, and has already won a community award.
Fred and Jeremy are also launching The Long Street Summer Social, a community street party that will boast activities such as live music, comedy, food, drinks, vendors and more, taking place in the heart of Wotton-under-Edge. With the huge success of Wotton’s Christmas Under The Edge, Pride and Blues Fest, The Long Street Summer Social aims to add more to Wotton’s vibrant High Street with a one-day community event for all, from noon-8PM on 30th August, 2025.
