Treat him to brekkie. Stay for the banter.
He’s not into fuss, but he’s always up for great coffee from Cafe Lelunar and an even better chat. Maybe he’s an early riser, a local regular who knows the baristas' names (and vice versa), or the kind of guy who can nurse a flat white while flicking through the paper.
His dream gift? A hot coffee, a stack of pastries, the weekend paper, and absolutely nowhere to be. Whether it’s a quiet one-on-one or the warm-up to a full day out, a slow start at The Coffee Club or Dream Drop Cafe topped with a tasty treat from Ferguson Plarre is an easy win for Dads who just want to spend some time that feels unhurried, unplanned and all theirs.

Treat him to a family feast. Stay for the after-dinner treat.
He’s got a go-to order at every restaurant, a talent for picking the best dish on the menu, and a gift for turning your table into the best seats in the house. He doesn’t just eat – he hosts, he recommends, he reviews (nicely), and he always finishes what’s left on your plate.
So, give him what he wants: a proper meal, a full table, and the kind of chat that lingers long after the plates are cleared. Perfectly cooked pasta from Cafe Greco, The Sporting Globe Burgers with all the sides, or next level noodles from Ajisen Ramen – whatever’s on the table, dining out is a no-fail move for the dad who just wants good food and great company.

Treat him to bowling. Stay for the “best two out of three”.
He’s never just watching the movie – he’s rating it, quoting it, and debating whether it deserves a spot in his ever-changing “top five”. He’s way too competitive at mini golf, weirdly good at claw machines, and insists he’ll let you win your next game of air hockey (spoiler: he won’t.)
Father’s Day with him should be a good time: fun, easy and full of laughs. Banter over bowling at Zone Bowling, catching the latest flicks at HOYTS, dad style dance offs at Timezone and always leaving room for a rematch... or two. However you spend it, you’ll hear about it again (and again) over dinner. Especially if he wins.
Top Tip: When choosing where to go on Father’s Day, a dinner and entertainment combo always tops the score board.
