For many of us, our dad was the first person who took us to the pub. When we were younger, this usually meant a half-pint of coke and a shared packet of salt and vinegar crisps after a bike ride on the weekend. Later, it was getting a round of pints of lager in, and maybe some Pork Scratchings, while we watched the rugby. Dads and pubs are uniquely interlinked in our consciousness, and it’s probably why they always feel like such a comforting place to return to.
Where to Go for a Father’s Day Sunday Roast in London
So if you’re stumped as to where to take your ‘old man’ this Father’s Day (Sunday 15th June), then may we suggest you look no further than your favourite Cubitt House pub? After all, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a leisurely afternoon together, first with a Sunday Lunch (his favourite meal), followed by a few drinks and perhaps even a couple of rounds of cards, all in a convivial, non-stuffy atmosphere (dad hates posh restaurants for this very reason). Bonus points: he can wear what he likes – which as we all know is very important to dads.
The Art of Sunday at Cubitt House: Why It’s the Perfect Father’s Day Out
Our Sunday Roasts are renowned for being particularly scrumptious too, if we don’t say so ourselves. It’s something to do with the deliciously tender cuts of Chicken, Lamb, Pork and Beef we serve, sourced from the best local butchers, or maybe the secret recipe of our perfectly fluffy-yet-crispy Roast Potatoes. We even take our vegetables seriously, selecting only the best in season greens. And it should go without saying that our Gravy is thick, our Yorkshire Puddings generous and our Cauliflower Cheese decadent.
The Thomas Cubitt and The Barley Mow: Two Great Pubs for a Father’s Day Lunch
Those who are looking for a traditional gastropub experience should head to The Thomas Cubitt in Belgravia. A local institution, the classical Georgian architecture is sure to be a hit with dad, giving it the feel of being a boozer that’s stood the test of time. Similarly, The Barley Mow in Mayfair is another great option, with its quintessentially British pub atmosphere – a rare find in this neighbourhood.
Book The Thomas CubittBook The Barley Mow Alf’s at The Alfred Tennyson: A Refined Father’s Day Lunch in Belgravia
Is your dad an appreciator of the finer things in life? Then there’s always Alf’s, the upstairs restaurant at The Alfred Tennyson. Newly opened earlier this year, it offers a more refined dining experience, albeit without a hint of sniffiness – this is still a Cubitt House pub, after all. Think gorgeous interiors, a relaxed atmosphere and slightly more elevated menu than downstairs. Of course, it doesn’t really matter which of the pubs you choose: each promises a relaxed, convivial atmosphere, warm hospitality and delicious food.
Book Alfie's The Best Father’s Day Gifts to Pick Up from Cubitt House
And if you’re yet to buy your dad a gift this Father’s Day, then you can’t go wrong with our Cubitt House Extra Virgin Olive Oil, especially if your pa fancies himself a bit of a chef. On that note, actually, you could also give him our Head Chef Ben Tish’s cookbook, Mediterra, to put his money where his mouth is (and so that he can recreate some of Ben’s yummiest dishes at home for you). Not that he’ll want anything from you anyway – in fact, the best gift you probably could give him would be another drink at the bar. It’s your round anyway.
Celebrate Father’s Day 2025 with a Complimentary Pint at Cubitt House
Should you need any further encouragement to book, there’s this: guests who pre-book for Father’s Day will receive a complimentary pint of Singlefin Lager from Harbour Brewing, a little extra cheers from us to all the amazing dads out there.
