The 365 Ultimate Gift Guide for Father’s Day 2020
Although this is probably not the Father’s Day you’d have ordinarily planned- here we are. This is 2020. There are still lots of special ways to treat the Father figures in your life this year.
Whether you’re living in the same household, organising a small socially distanced gathering, or treating your self isolating father at his home. This is our Ultimate Gift Guide for Father’s Day in 2020 from some brilliant South East independent businesses. There’s never been a better time to spoil your old man.
Restaurant Lunch At Home
Pitch At Home
Lucky dads in a 15 mile radius of Pitch can be sent a 5 course Pitch At Home Father’s Day box full of Masterchef 2018 Champion Kenny Tutt’s food. All boxes come with house-baked bread and Pitch’s buttered toast ice cream pop. There’s a meat and vegetarian fixed menu to choose between; drinks can be added on too. Order before 17th June and make dad a very happy man.
The Coal Shed At Home
Available Thursday – Sundays, menu options change daily. Sundays boast gourmet roasts and BBQ dishes ready to be finished at home. Meals are designed to be shared between two people: including a selection of mains, sides and drool-worthy puddings. If you want to go all out, add on starters and wine. Orders are taken before 4pm for next day delivery (in the Brighton area only) or click and collect for further afield.
Mini Adventure for All The Family at Leonardslee Gardens
Explore 240-acres of magical gardens at Leonardslee. They’re opening the gardens on a ticket-only basis for a Covid-19 compliant Father’s Day event.
Spot free-roaming deer, take dad to visit the Wallaby enclosure between 12 – 12.30 to see baby Joey’s being fed or watch model radio controlled yachts & boats in action (if that sort of thing floats his metaphorical boat).
Enjoy lunch in the gardens with a BYO picnic or hire rustic picnic baskets from the Clocktower Café and pack it with a selection of tasty treats from the café.
Send Him The Gift of Curry
If your dad’s isolating and can’t leave his house, why not send him the ideal Father’s Day 2020 gift – a banging takeaway curry delivered directly to him.
If he’s Brighton based – treat him like a king with a Railway Tray feast from The Chilli Pickle
Naasta is a fab option for dads in Mid-Sussex.
Curry Leaf at home deliver all over Sussex, each area has a dedicated day – check the website for more info. The Curry Leaf van delivers around Rottingdean, Saltdean, Peacehaven, Newhaven and Seaford on Sundays. If that’s home to your dad make sure he gets his fave ruby and sides on Father’s Day.
Get Sporting 2020 Style
Book a round of golf or tennis and spend some socially distanced quality time at 2m having fun on the green or court.
Golf or Tennis?
Most local golf courses offer visitor green fees if you’re not already members. Check out the Dyke Golf Club, Mid-Sussex Golfor Singing Hills for availability.
Cuckfield Tennis Club is open to non-members as are most of the courts across Brighton & Hove.
Family Father’s Day 2020 Lockdown Lock-in
Who knew we’d all still be stuck in, with the pubs sill shut come June? If your dad’s missing the pub why not send him a box or bottle of his favourite local tipple and make your own Father’s Day 2020 lockdown lock-in with local booze, snacks and a pub quiz.
If he likes a glass (or 3) of wine? How about a mixed box of Albourne Estate’s 6 most popular bottles. They currently have a stunning case of 6 Pinot Noir’s for £105.00 and lot’s of other fabulous offers available.
Beer? Couldn’t go wrong with his favourite speciality brew from Dark Star in Patridge Green or a bottle of the famous Wingtip Pilsner from neighbouring village Ashurst.
Something harder? Try South Downs Wine Cellar for an impressive selection of local spirits from Ditchling Gin’s Toffee Vodka to Greensand Ridge Kentish Apple Brandy.
Organise a box of tasty pub snacks from Snack Revolution, organise an online quiz, set up the family Zoom call link and you’re ready to go! Cheers!

Organic Men’s Skincare
Calling all hipster skincare loving dads! If the dad you’re buying for loves a pamper, why not indulge him with a Green People Organic skincare set?
