Father’s Day has rolled around once more, so we’ve put together a list of things you can do with your dad to make him feel appreciated on this special day!
They say the way to a man’s heart is through their stomach, so what better way to treat dad than in one of Leicester’s fabulous eateries. Here’s a handful of options:
It’s a known fact that Dad’s love nothing more than a good steak and cold pint, and 1573 Bar & Grill is the ultimate spot for exactly that. Using only the best seasonal produce, a meal here is guaranteed to leave your dad speechless… for once.
For a little food flare try multi award-winning pub The Rutland & Derby, where you’ll find innovative takes on pub snacks, a banging range of loaded fries, and some absolutely delectable dirty burgers – all made using ethically sourced local ingredients.
For the burger and fries pit stop during a jam packed day, La Smashed has to be top of the list. They’ll give you a banging selection of juicy burgers, winning sides and unmissable desserts.
Still struggling to decide?
Last but not least is the Knight & Garter. Described as ‘Leicester’s carefully considered pub’, the Knight & Garter have a fabulous seasonal menu with vibrant options that are prepared by passionate chefs in their state of the art kitchen.

If your dad is obsessed with the Discovery Channel and loves dropping random facts (that he’s definitely mentioned at least 10 times before) then Leicester has some great places to go and scratch that itch, with an array of museums and historical building.
Book on to an exclusive behind the scenes tour of Leicester Museums main object store or simply stop by and peruse the exhibitions and artifacts at your own pace!

For the dads who just can’t sit still, there are so many fun and unique activities you can try with your dad in Leicester city centre. Have a go at bouldering at Social Climbing, practice target shooting at Shooters Range, and bicker endlessly… I mean collaborate effectively at Escape Leicester.
If you want an activity that doesn’t risk life or limb, then there’s also East Street Lanes for a game of bowling, or Caddyshackers for a round of crazy golf.
