Mother's Day lunch is one of the loveliest family occasions of the year, and one where someone usually ends up stuck driving, or Mum herself does. A chauffeured car gets the whole family there together, so everyone, especially Mum, can relax and enjoy it. Here is how to sort the travel and make the day effortless.
- A chauffeur means the whole family travels together, including Mum, with no one on driving duty.
- Country pubs and restaurants fill up fast on Mother's Day; a drop-off avoids the parking scramble.
- It's a small touch that lets everyone, especially Mum, simply enjoy the day.
Why book travel for Mother's Day?
Mother's Day lunch should be about treating Mum, not about who draws the short straw to drive. A car collects the family and takes everyone together, so Mum is not the chauffeur and no one has to skip the wine. It is a small, thoughtful touch that lifts the whole occasion.
Where to go in the Chilterns?
The area's country pubs and restaurants put on lovely Mother's Day menus, and the best book up well in advance. They are often out in the lanes, so a fixed-price car that drops you at the door and collects you afterwards beats a scramble for one of a handful of parking spaces. See our country pubs guide.
Keeping the family together
For a larger family gathering, a single larger vehicle keeps everyone together and removes the 'we'll take two cars and meet there' faff. Grandparents, children and all arrive at once, in comfort, which is rather the point of a family day. It also means Mum is collected from her door in style.
How do you arrange it?
Book the outbound and return when you reserve the table, with a pickup time and the venue. The price is fixed and the car reserved, so the day runs smoothly and the only thing left to organise is the flowers. See our executive cars.
