‘A love letter to pubs’: Martin Clunes’s new British comedy confirms UK release date

Martin Clunes’s new British comedy has confirmed its UK release date.

Based on the summary, the story in “Mother’s Pride” revolves around a struggling tavern, a fragmented neighborhood, and a sorrowful family whose lives undergo transformation as they start crafting their own ale and compete in the prestigious Great British Beer Competition.

The movie, which wrapped filming last autumn, will arrive in cinemas on September 26, 2025.

Clunes will be featured alongside James Buckley from The Inbetweeners, Jonno Davies of Better Man, Gabriella Wilde who is known for Poldark, Mark Addy of Game of Thrones, and Lana Moorcroft, the star of Fisherman’s Friends: One and All.

One and All).

The ensemble additionally includes Luke Treadaway from Lockwood & Co, Miles Jupp known for his role in The Full Monty, Lola-Rose Maxwell hailing from Starstruck, Josie Lawrence of A Clever Woman, Karl Collins who was seen in Spent, Stephen Leask from Trigger Point, and Emily Lloyd-Saini, a star from Code 404.

The screenplay for “Mother’s Pride” was penned by the same duo who brought us “Fisherman’s Friends,” namely Nick Moorcroft and Meg Leonard. Interestingly, in this case, it’s Nick Moorcroft who is directing the project, with Meg Leonard taking on the role of executive producer.

In an earlier conversation with The Guardian, the creators characterized the film as a heartfelt tribute to family, local communities, traditional ales, and overlooked rural customs of Great Britain.

Moved by the imminent closure of local taverns, this pair decided to delve into significant problems while crafting humor in their upcoming work.

Moorcroft stated, “Pubs play a crucial role in communities, fostering connections among people. This is particularly significant during these challenging Covid times as they combat feelings of loneliness and social isolation. However, during our site visits, we found many pubs that have been vacant for two whole years, with no signs of reopening – effectively losing their identity as pubs forever. Each of these establishments holds a rich history and countless memories. It’s truly heartbreaking.

Leonard explained that the losses felt especially significant during a time when everyone is struggling with a lack of personal interaction, due to Covid-19. This is why he believes their movie is crucial to produce at this moment in time.
