Father’s Day has once again rolled around far too quickly and like many of us, we’re all a little unprepared for it. But not to worry, we have put together a list of things to do with your dad to make him feel as appreciated as he should.
They say the way to a man’s heart is through their stomach, so why not take your dad out for some delicious food? Leicester is full of fabulous eateries so here are a handful of options to make that last-minute panic a little easier.
Dad’s love nothing more than a good steak and a cold pint, and 1573 Bar & Grill is the ideal place. Using only the best fresh seasonal produce this is guaranteed to leave your dad speechless…for once.
