Father’s Day is just around the corner, and if there’s one thing we know, it’s this: dads love their food. Whether it’s his go-to Friday night curry, ...
Read more →Father’s Day always starts with good intentions.
“Shall we do something nice for Dad?”
And somehow ends with: “So… what’s everyone eating?”
One person wants pizza. Someone’s voting curry. The kids are demanding chips like it’s a human right. Dad says, “I’m easy,” which is famously not helpful in any way whatsoever. Then the kitchen becomes a live debate show nobody asked for.
So this year, let’s skip the drama.
No oven stress. No, “who burnt the garlic bread?” moment. No pile of washing-up that mysteriously looks like a full-time job. Just good food, delivered, and a Dad who actually gets to relax for once.
Whether he’s into a stacked burger, a proper curry, a cheesy pizza, a Chinese feast, a loaded kebab, or something sweet to finish it off, a Father’s Day takeaway is the easy win.
Good food. Turn up at the door. Zero faff.
Father’s Day should be about celebrating Dad, not turning lunch into a group project with questionable leadership.
Cooking at home sounds wholesome… until the oven’s full, someone’s misread the recipe, someone else has “just popped out” and returned with the wrong thing entirely, and Dad is somehow the one doing the washing-up and the plating.
That’s exactly why ordering in just makes sense.
Everyone gets what they want. Dad gets his favourites. Nobody argues over timings. And the sink stays… suspiciously empty.
Even better, it covers the full spectrum:
Curry for Dad
Pizza for the kids
Burgers for the hungry one
Dessert for the person who said they were “absolutely stuffed” five minutes ago
Everyone’s happy. Miraculously.
Every dad has a food personality.
Some go big on spice. Some believe chips are a food group. Some say they “don’t mind” and then suddenly have very strong opinions once the menus come out.
So here’s how to feed the legend properly:
If Dad lights up at words like tikka, madras, bhuna or biryani, you’re on to a winner.
Load up on naan, rice, poppadoms, chutneys, onion bhajis, and maybe a mixed grill if you’re going all in.
And don’t be fooled by “I’ll just have a little.” He’s absolutely eyeing up the last bit of naan.
Simple. Reliable. Always a hit.
Go for his favourite toppings, add garlic bread, wedges, dips, and maybe a dessert if you’re feeling generous.
Bonus: no one has to pretend they’re not taking the last slice. Everyone knows the rules.
Some dads don’t want finesse. They want commitment.
Double burgers, crispy chicken, loaded fries, onion rings, wings, extra sauce, extra napkins, extra everything.
Messy? Yes. Worth it? Also yes.
This is the “a bit of everything” dad.
Chow mein, fried rice, crispy beef, sweet & sour chicken, spring rolls, ribs, salt & pepper chips, prawn crackers — the full spread.
Dad gets first pick too. Non-negotiable family law.
Doner, shawarma, mixed grill, wraps, chips drowning in sauce — the works.
Garlic mayo, chilli sauce, salad if it must be there.
Not fancy. Just properly satisfying.
Says he’s full. Is absolutely not full.
Waffles, brownies, cookie dough, cheesecake, doughnuts, milkshakes — he’ll “just try a bit” and somehow it’s gone.
No baking. No washing up. Just pure regret-free indulgence.
No need for big productions.
Let Dad pick the food. Let him have control of the remote. Put his drink in the fridge. Laugh at his worst jokes. Pretend they’re funny. It’s tradition.
And when the food arrives? No hovering. No chip theft. At least wait until the bag is open.
The best Father’s Day moments are usually the simplest: good food, good company, and Dad pretending he didn’t want any fuss while clearly enjoying every second of it.
Because deciding dinner as a family is rarely peaceful.
Pizza vs curry vs burgers vs “I don’t mind” (which absolutely means he does).
