Father’s Day falls on Sunday 21st June this year, and if there’s one thing we know about dads, grandads, stepdads and father figures alike, it’s this: most of them don’t want fuss.
They don’t want novelty socks. They definitely don’t want another ‘World’s Best Dad’ mug.
What they do want is a proper meal, cooked well, with the people they love around the table.
And that’s exactly where we come in.
Whether he’s happiest standing proudly at the BBQ with tongs in hand, carving into a perfectly cooked roast, or settling down with a steak and a good bottle of red, Nicholson’s has everything you need to make Father’s Day feel special without overcomplicating it.
This is the day for proper food. Big flavours. Generous plates. Seconds encouraged.
Think dry-aged steaks with marbling that melts beautifully in the pan. Thick-cut pork chops ready for the grill. Handmade burgers stacked high with all the extras. Or perhaps a slow-cooked joint of beef with all the trimmings and enough gravy to justify an afternoon nap afterwards.
The kind of meal that starts with ‘I’ll just have a little bit’ and ends with everyone loosening their belts slightly.
Sound good? Check out our butchery range here.
By the time Father’s Day rolls around, summer should finally be making an appearance, which means BBQ season is well and truly underway.
And if your dad considers himself king of the coals, our BBQ selection is worth a visit all on its own.
From handmade sausages and gourmet steak burger burgers to marinated chicken, kebabs and thick steaks ready for the flames, we’ve got everything needed for a proper Father’s Day spread.
Add a few cold beers, some homemade sides, and a sunny garden full of family, and suddenly you’ve got the kind of day people actually remember.
And for those hosting a bigger gathering? Don’t forget we also offer BBQ hire. The ideal solution for family get-togethers without the stress of digging an old rusty grill out of the shed.
Just give our Sarah a call on 0191 252 5250 or send her a message on the website and she’ll get your sorted, quick-sharp.
Of course, not every dad wants to spend the day manning a BBQ.
For many families, Father’s Day still calls for a traditional Sunday dinner and we’re fully on board with that too.
Our roasting joints are carefully sourced, expertly prepared, and ready to become the centrepiece of your table. Pair with buttery roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, rich homemade gravy and perhaps something indulgent for pudding afterwards, and you’ve got yourself a Father’s Day feast done properly.
Minimal stress. Maximum appreciation.
What takes a meal from ‘nice’ to ‘remember this next year’ is often the little things.
The homemade Mediterranean roast potatoes that save you an hour in the kitchen. The peppercorn sauce that turns steak night into something restaurant-worthy. The Greek salad, the garlic mushrooms, the crusty garlic bread, the sweet treats quietly waiting for later with a cup of tea.
That’s the beauty of shopping at Nicholson’s. It’s not just about the main event; it’s about helping you pull together a whole table with ease.
And if you need advice, just ask.
Our team will happily help with portion sizes, cooking times, pairing suggestions and honest recommendations about what works best.
If your dad is happiest in the kitchen, or simply loves great food, we’ve also got you covered.
Pick up a Nicholson’s gift voucher and let him choose exactly what he’d love, whether that’s a beautiful dry-aged steak, a BBQ feast, or a few deli treats for the weekend ahead.
Father’s Day has a habit of sneaking up quickly, so we’d always recommend ordering ahead, especially if you’ve got your eye on a particular cut or planning to feed a crowd.
Pop into the shop, give us a ring, or browse online and let us help you put together something properly special.
This year, skip the panic-buy petrol station chocolates.
Cook something memorable instead.
Make Father’s Day delicious with our help.
