Father’s Day is just around the corner and whether you’re celebrating dad, grandad, stepdad, or that special father figure who always has your back, Burnley’s got all the ingredients for a day he won’t forget.
Forget the usual socks and tie cliches. This year, make it about great food, good drinks and quality time – with a few cheeky freebies thrown in to keep him smiling…
Feast Like a Father
Start the day off right with breakfast at Real Food Hall, where the new menu boasts hearty breakfasts from just £5.99, all served with a hot drink ready to wake him up properly on Sunday 15th June.
If you want to up your food game, head to Heavenly Desserts at Pioneer Place, where all dads eat free on Father’s Day with one full-paying adult or child main dish at the table. Sweet deal, right? Literally.
For something a bit more substantial, The Palazzo is pulling out all the stops with two roasts of the day – a succulent roasted leg of lamb and a traditional roast beef. This is a dad-approved Sunday kind of lunch.
If your dad has a hankering for burgers or pizza, swing by Ellis’s on St James’s Row, where any dad can tuck into a burger or pizza for free when dining with family. Banny’s is also providing the goods this Sunday with a new menu including mouthwatering Drip Burgers and Bombay Chips – too good for a dad to miss.
Finally, for those who like a little spice in their meal, add a little flavour to his Father’s Day celebration with Aroma Asian Restaurant, where he can indulge in his favourite curry.
Raise a Glass (Or Two!) For Dad
If your dad is more of a pint guy, Burnley’s pubs and bars have got your back. Whether it’s the friendly buzz of The Swan, the perfect beer garden at The Royal Dyche or the lively atmosphere of The Big Window, there’s a perfect spot to clink glasses and celebrate in the town.
Other fab spots include The Inn on the Wharf, The Bridge Bier Haus, The Coal Yard, The Park View and Bar Mojitos – promising great drinks and great company.
Relax With Dad and Take a Coffee Break
Prefer a caffeine fix to wind down? There’s no shortage of coffee spots in Burnley, where you can catch up and have a proper chat. Treat him to a brew at Cosy Coffee, The Coffee House, Real Coffee Bean, Central Kitchen, Rhode Island Coffee, Little Barista or Starbucks.
Add Some Extra Magic This Father’s Day
If you’re after something more than a meal this Father’s Day, why not treat him to some tickets for a fun show at Burnley Mechanics Theatre or cinema tickets at Reel Cinema or Vault Cinema.
For an afternoon with a little extra magic, head to The Corkhouse on Whittam Street. From around 3pm, enjoy live music from Birdhouse, creating the perfect soundtrack to your day. Paired with a delightful selection of tapas and wine, this will make his Father’s Day feel truly special.
For an evening celebrating with the whole family whether you strike it lucky at Disco Bowl Finsley Gate, roll into the good times with Picture Me Rollin on Hammerton Street or try your luck at Buzz Bingo.
Icaro Lounge is also bringing a little magic to the celebrations with an exclusive social media competition, where dads can win a free drink!
Shopping That Scores Big with Dad
Finally, if you’re still hunting for the best gift for Dad, Burnley’s shopping spots have plenty to choose from. So, whether it’s a fresh pair of trainers or a new outfit from Flannels, M&S, Next, Primark or JD, Burnley has you covered.
Got a dad who’s into scents? A fragrance from The Perfume Shop or Boots makes a personal, thoughtful gift. Don’t forget to add a sentimental touch with a card, which you can shop from the likes of Clintons, The Card Factory and WH Smith.
Finally, for the tech-savvy dad, GAME and CEX have the latest gadgets and games ready to keep him entertained long after Father’s Day.
