Father's Day recipes

Treat your dad (or any father figure in your life) to one of our easy but indulgent Father’s Day recipes, from cooked breakfasts, steak and pies to brownies and chocolate Guinness cake.

Sweet tooth? Then you could go for an idea like red velvet cupcakes to serve at afternoon tea together, or how about our ultimate fry-up sandwich, served in bed?

If the weather’s good, a barbecue never feels wrong, even if means you need to wrestle the apron and skewers away from him. Pile things high with stacks of side dishes and sauces.

Round it all off with a cocktail from our huge collection, or find a new beer to try from Mark Dredge’s sustainable breweries recommendations.
