Côte Brasserie is giving Father’s Day 2026 the sort of French treatment that suggests Dad deserves more than a multipack of socks and a card bought while queueing for petrol. On Sunday 21 June 2026, the brasserie group will serve up free drinks for fathers, special set menus, premium steak dishes and a new Côte at Home range for those who prefer their celebrations without leaving the garden.
It is a neat little proposition: breakfast if you are organised, steak if you are sentimental, and a mixed grill delivery box if the family barbecue usually involves one brave man, three tongs and a faint smell of panic.
A Father’s Day Breakfast With A Proper Kick-Off
Côte’s Father’s Day plans begin early, which is either thoughtful or dangerous depending on how loudly your family talks before 10am.
The breakfast menu includes cooked breakfasts, eggs Benedict, lighter dishes and French toast, with every dad dining for breakfast on Father’s Day receiving a free Bloody Mary or Virgin Mary.
It is a civilised start. There are few occasions in life improved by overthinking, and Father’s Day breakfast is not one of them. Good eggs, decent coffee, something sweet for the table and a drink with enough tomato-based confidence to suggest the day is already going well.
The Côte Father’s Day Set Menu
Later in the day, Côte will offer a dedicated Father’s Day Set Menu, available on Sunday only. It is priced at £29.50 for two courses or £35.50 for three courses.
The menu centres on French-inspired brasserie cooking and seasonal dishes, aimed at families who want something relaxed but still nicely elevated. In other words, no one has to pretend a packet of crisps before lunch counts as a starter.
For fathers dining at Côte on the day itself, there is also a complimentary crisp, cold beer on the house. It is not reinventing civilisation, but then again, civilisation has rarely suffered from a free beer.
The Steak Bundle For Families Going Big
For those who see Father’s Day less as a polite lunch and more as a carnivorous family conference, Côte is also serving a Sharing Côte de Bœuf Steak Bundle for £69.95 across the weekend.
The dish is designed for sharing and can be paired with Côte’s signature Côte Cuvée Red at a promotional price of £20 per carafe.
There is something pleasingly direct about this. No themed gimmicks. No novelty packaging. Just steak, wine and the quiet understanding that Dad may not want an inspirational quote on a mug when there is beef available.
Côte At Home Brings The Brasserie To The Garden
Côte at Home is also getting a Father’s Day upgrade for 2026, with its biggest range yet available for delivery from 17 to 20 June 2026. Customers are encouraged to order by the end of 18 June to guarantee delivery in time for Father’s Day.
The headline act is the new Ultimate French Mixed Grill, priced at £114.95 and serving up to six people. It is designed for indoor or outdoor cooking, which is wise, given the British summer has the emotional stability of a three-putt from four feet.
The box includes a Côte de Bœuf from Côte’s in-house butchery, sirloin steaks, Cumberland sausages and smoked back bacon. Alongside the meat come fried eggs, frites, garlic mushrooms, corn on the cob and creamy peppercorn sauce.
To sweeten the deal, every Ultimate French Mixed Grill box also includes gifts for Dad: a Côte apron and wooden chopping board.
Extras, Cheese Boards And Beer Bundles
For families looking to build out the occasion, Côte at Home is offering optional extras including Father’s Day cheese boards and Crumble Tarts.
Beer bundles start from £8.95, BBQ and mixed grill boxes from £23.95, breakfast boxes from £29.95 and cheese gift boxes from £10.95.
It gives the whole thing a useful flexibility. There is the full centrepiece feast for families making a proper day of it, but also smaller additions for those who simply want to improve lunch without conducting a military operation in the kitchen.
Why Côte’s Father’s Day Menu Works
The appeal here is not just that Côte Brasserie has created a Father’s Day menu. Plenty of restaurants do that, often with the emotional range of a laminated insert.
The smarter move is that Côte has covered the main ways families actually celebrate: breakfast out, lunch or dinner in the brasserie, steak for the table, and a home-delivered option for those who want restaurant-quality food without negotiating traffic, bookings or the annual family debate about who is driving.
Steve Allen, Côte’s Executive Chef, said: “At Côte, we believe great food is about more than just nourishment; it’s about bringing people together and creating memorable moments. This Father’s Day, we’ve created experiences designed for sharing, whether that’s a relaxed breakfast, a luxurious steak feast in the brasserie or a restaurant-quality mixed grill enjoyed at home. With complimentary drinks for Dad and indulgent French-inspired dishes throughout, we hope to make the occasion truly special.”
A Better Father’s Day Than The Usual Last-Minute Scramble
Father’s Day can easily become a festival of mild panic: the card, the table booking, the “he’s impossible to buy for” speech, the sudden realisation that every decent lunch slot has vanished.
Côte’s 2026 offering is built around avoiding that particular circus. There is breakfast for the early birds, beer for the traditionalists, steak for the serious operators and a Côte at Home feast for families who want to keep things relaxed.
It is French-inspired, family-friendly and pleasingly practical. Most importantly, it gives Dad something he might actually want: a proper meal, a decent drink and the rare luxury of not pretending to love another novelty keyring.
