With Father’s Day fast approaching (Sunday, 6 September, to be exact), it's the perfect time to start thinking about how you're going to treat Dad on this special day. If he appreciates a good meal, taking him out for a Father's Day feast will be the perfect way to make his day.

So, put that pair of novelty socks down and read on for our round up of places to take the fatherly figures in your life for a feast to remember.

For the breakfast connoisseur

It’s time for dad to put the tongs down, leave the apron at home and let someone else do the hard work. We can’t look past these cafes, which specialise in all things breakfast (pancakes included).

For the lover of all things spice

If dad isn’t quite a morning person but doesn’t shy away from spicy food options i.e. a warming Massamann curry, piping-hot dumplings, drizzled in chilli oil or jalapeno topped, pulled-pork tacos, consider adding one of these places to your Father’s Day shortlist.
