5 brilliant Father’s Day ideas
5 brilliant Father’s Day ideas
Still unsure how to treat Dad this weekend? Never fear – there’s still time. Check out these great ideas with last-minute bookings available.
Afternoon Tea at Dalchini
Wimbledon
Traditionally rooted quite firmly in the realm of Mother’s Day, the afternoon tea shouldn’t be disregarded as an equally brilliant gift to Dad. After all, dads love to eat – and it’s a great opportunity to spend some quality time together. Dalchini’s afternoon tea offers up something deliciously unique, if you think Dad won’t be impressed by finger sandwiches. It’s an Indo-Chinese feast – think classic Indian bites of Aloo Mutter Samosa alongside savouries like chilli garlic paneer and sesame prawn toast. Sweet treats include a freshly-baked raisin and cheddar scone and chocolate and vanilla muffins. Pair with a selection of delightful teas from across the world.
Royal Parks online shop
If your dad prefers gifts over experiences, it’s worth checking out the Royal Parks online shop to find a fun and unique gift for him. If he enjoys gardening, they offer a variety of garden & outdoor accessories for balconies and beyond, or if he’s a bookworm, you can browse their amazing book selection, filled with fiction, maps, and history.
The Ivy Café Wimbledon Father’s Day menu
Wimbledon
If you and Dad are fans of The Ivy (and who isn’t?) it’s definitely worth checking out their special Father’s Day menu – dine on two courses for £29.50 or three for £34.50. A mixture of Ivy favourites and seasonal dishes, the menu is not one to miss, particularly the sirloin steak with cowboy butter, or the chicken Milanese with truffle sauce. Also enjoy truffle arancini for the table, as well as the special Father’s Day dessert. Available 15th & 14th June.
Complimentary pint at TOZI Battersea
Battersea
Pizza and free pints? We can’t think of a better gift for the dad in our lives. Tozi Pizzeria & Cicchetti Bar is known for its Italian delights, from extravagant pizza toppings to seasonal chicchetti – some of the best in town. Highlights of the fab menu also include the sea bass, veal Milanese and the beef tagliatelli. And on Father’s Day they’re offering a complimentary pint to all Dads who dine in.
Go into nature
Surrey
Is Dad a nature enthusiast or a lover of long walks? Why not spend some quality time together this Sunday and explore some of Surrey’s beautiful parks and gardens? RHS Garden Wisley is packed with horticultural wonders, and starting from the 13th June they have a new exhibition open: On the Hedge, a striking new photographic exhibition that delves into our relationship with hedges and topiary. Or make your way to Painshill, which has delightful gardens and grounds to explore.
