The Citizen is offering dads a free steak pie and pint on Father’s Day, following new figures showing a sharp difference in how families celebrate the occasion.
According to Di Maggio’s Restaurant Group (DRG), bookings for Mother’s Day were 56% higher than for Father’s Day, prompting The Citizen on St Vincent Place to launch the one-day offer to address the imbalance offering to serve the complimentary meal on 15 June as part of the Restaurant Rewards programme
A spokesperson for The Citizen said, “Every year it’s the same – mums get the fizz, flowers and everything else. Dads? They’re lucky if they get socks.
“We find it’s always the dads that are left behind, so we thought it was about time someone stuck up for them. So, this Father’s Day, we’re putting things right with a proper plate of comfort food and an ice-cold pint, on the house.
“It’s our way of saying cheers to all the dads, grandads, stepdads, and father figures who quietly do the hard graft. They’ve earned it – flaky pastry, gravy and all.”
