Celebrate Father's Day with Sunday Lunch and Planting Experience at Dobbies

This June, Dobbies Garden Centres is presenting a brand-new way to celebrate Father's Day, combining a hearty Sunday roast with a hands-on grow-your-own herb planting workshop at the Cirencester store.

Father's Day Sunday Lunch and Planting Experience

The Father's Day Sunday Lunch and Planting Experience will take place on Sunday 15 June from 2pm to 3.30pm. Guests at the Cirencester store can spend quality time together as they create their own potted herb container and enjoy a traditional roast lunch, complete with all the trimmings.

Attendees will enjoy a 1.5-hour experience that begins in the plant area, where Dobbies' Green Team will host an inspiring demo and Q&A session. Each guest will be guided through creating a potted herb container, perfect for adding fresh flavour to summer meals at home. Each guest will receive an oakwood-effect barrel planter, made from 100% recycled plastic and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, as well as a handpicked selection of herbs curated by Dobbies? Plant Buyer, Nigel Lawton. Gloves, tools and planting materials will be provided, and each guest will also receive recipe cards to take home with their completed herb planter (worth up to £40).

Traditional Sunday Roast

Following the workshop, guests will be invited to Dobbies? restaurant to enjoy a traditional Sunday roast. Diners at the Cirencester store can choose from roast beef with horseradish sauce, roast pork with apple sauce and sage and onion stuffing, roast turkey with cranberry sauce, or a vegan sausage roast. Each meal is served with thyme roasted potatoes, seasonal vegetables, a homemade Yorkshire pudding and a rich red wine gravy. A bottle of Peroni, a glass of Prosecco, or a San Pellegrino soft drink is included with the meal.

Guests can make the occasion extra special by upgrading to a three-meat roast for £3 per person or adding an additional Yorkshire pudding for pound;1.60.
