Genius Ideas to Treat Your Dad This Father’s Day in London
Drink Your Way Round a Fuller’s Brewery Tour
If Dad is an ale lover, he will enjoy the Fuller’s Brewery Tour at Fuller’s Griffin Brewery in Chiswick. The tour provides a sneak peek of the famous working brewery and how Fuller’s ale is brewed, giving it that great taste that Dad loves. The tour lasts around two hours and explains British ale making. The best part is tasting amazing ales, so make sure to eat before the tour. Fuller’s offers select dates for 16+, so make sure to check before booking.
The Gunpowder Plot
For all the rebellious Dads and history fanatics out there, The Gunpowder Plot is the perfect experience to get excited about. Tom Felton (yes, that’s Draco Malfoy) stars as Guy Fawkes in this thrilling fully immersive experience. The latest digital technology is paired with live entertainment as you wander all the way back to 1605. Your journey to 1605 features real sensations and live theatre as you discover the mysterious figures behind the famous plot, go on an undercover mission, and make a dangerous attempt to escape. The experience lasts for 1 hour and 40 minutes with a 20-minute interval for refreshments– or a swift exit out the backstage door if the experience was a bit too real.
Play a Round of Entertainment Golf at Greenwich Peninsula Range
If your Dad is a big golf fan or just generally enjoys any sports activity, then Entertainment Golf is sure to impress him. It’s a high-tech experience that transports you to some of the world’s most prestigious golf courses. Whether the rest of the family enjoys golf or not, there are tons of immersive games to choose from, for a wide range of levels and abilities. The onsite restaurant serves tasty food and drinks to your bay for a golfside dining experience that you never knew you needed.
Eat at a Fawlty Towers Dining Experience
The fabulous Fawlty Towers Dining Experience combines Dad’s two loves, Fawlty Towers and food. Treat Dad to being waited on by Basil and Manuel for an outrageously funny experience he will never forget. This immersive show-come-dining-experience is internationally acclaimed, from start to finish there’s laughter all around – served with a mouth-watering 3-course meal.
Chow Down on The Cinnamon Club’s at Home BBQ Kit
Dad’s are happier in their natural habitat– at the BBQ in the garden. The Cinnamon Club’s at Home BBQ Kit has got you covered if staying at home with the family is more your style. Curated by Executive Chef Vivek Singh, this spectacular Indian fine-dining feast combines vibrant flavors and spices from India with the finest British ingredients. The kit covers appetizers, mains, and desserts and can also be combined with fine wines, champagnes, and Viveck’s signed cookbooks. Order here by June 9th for nationwide home delivery on Saturday 16th June.
Go Virtual Clay Pigeon Shooting and Get Sloshed on Cocktails
Down at Clay’s this Father’s Day, you can combine two of Dad’s favorite things: guns and drinks. In honor of the big day, they’ve thrown in a package deal that can be booked for an additional £30. This package includes a bucket of six Camden Hells lagers and a whiskey sour on top of your shooting fee. The deal is only available on Father’s Day and can be booked on their website.
Take Dad to a Theme Park…
Father’s Day is all about a good laugh. Just so happens that’s what’s on offer at Phantom Peak. The place is the UK’s first immersive theme park and combines the story of a mysterious town with a bunch of puzzles, games, and activities to create a theme park that’s part performance, too. For Father’s Day, they’re offering dads a free glass of whiskey or a beer, a commemorative sticker, and a cowboy hat to go with all the puzzle-solving and fairground gaming. You can book you and your dad in for that here.
…Or Take Him to a Master Butchery Class
At Osteria Del Macellaio this Father’s Day, you can really treat dad. The Italian meat-Meca is offering a masterclass followed by a three-course meal for £120. We love this place – the food is great – but surprisingly it’s the masterclass we’re most excited for. At the masterclass, you’ll be taught how to select the best cuts of meat from lesser-known bits of beef and how to dry age them to get the most out of them flavor-wise. This’ll be followed by a meal of their best hits, including the lard on toast which is delicious, and Maccheroni alla Genovese – also delicious. You really can’t go wrong with this one.
