    family get together. thoroughly enjoyable Mother’s Day lunch - we were a part of 12 and understandably the pub was very busy and the staff were a bit stretched - service was therefore a little compromised but overall we have a super lunch - The food was very good indeed and no complaints on taste. I do feel the set price of £50 was a little rich however but it did not negatively impact on our day. Thank you team A&C - great time had by all.
