Tarquin’s Cornish Dry Gin
This well-balanced gin, produced on the South West coast, is a great example of the fantastic regional spirits being made across the country right now. With all the classic botanicals coming through on both the nose and the palate, it keeps the juniper is prevalent (as it should be) and has a hint of lemony coriander which reminds us of a deep pine forest on a hot summer stroll.
Le Creuset toughened non-stick paella pan
Looking to blow the budget with an impressive, long-lasting piece of kitchen kit that dad will use forever? Not only is this attractive paella pan super non-stick, making it a joy to use, it’s also designed to last. It’s great for making paella or risotto, cooking sausages or making breakfast hashes. As it’s oven-safe, it can be used for a variety of one-pot dishes.

OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 avocado slicer
This nifty gadget will have your dad’s avocado skinned and sliced, looking Instagram perfect in a flash and is much safer then digging out that stone yourself.
White Mausu chilli oils
If dad is a condiment king, he’ll love these chilli oils from Irish brand White Mausu. Their Peanut Rãyu, inspired by the taberu rãyu (chilli oil) you find on almost every table in Japan’s cafés, restaurants and homes, is a mild, nutty chilli oil packed with peanuts, sesame seeds, tamari and garlic. The Black Bean Rayu is a spicier, more intensely salty umami flavour bomb, made with Chinese black beans, sesame, chilli flakes, garlic and more. We can’t get enough of them drizzled over noodle and rice dishes, eggs, grilled broccoli or steamed Asian greens, or mixed with soy sauce and a splash of black vinegar to make a sauce for dumplings.

White Mausu, from £35 for 6 jars
ProCook X50 nakiri nihon knife
For the dad who is a keen cook, investing in good-quality knives will transform their time in the kitchen. This ProCook knife was voted the best-value nakiri knife in our best nakiri knives expert test, and was also one of the most attractive, making it ideal for gifting.

El Sueño tequila
Shopping on a budget? Good quality, affordable tequila can be hard to find, but this one ticks all the boxes. Super smooth and fresh-tasting, it’s sweet and slightly floral on the nose, followed by notes of pepper and citrus. It’s great served chilled for sipping, or try it in a margarita or paloma cocktail
On the Pass restaurant-grade meat
On the Pass is a website set up by Philip Warren Butchers and Matt Chatfield (The Cornwall Project), which allows us to get our hands on the top-drawer meat that’s been reared and aged for some of the country’s finest restaurants. This means you can gift the likes of 55-day aged Brat sirloin, whole beef fillet reared for Paul Ainsworth at No 6, The Ledbury’s English guinea fowl and Kiln’s hogget for Father’s Day this year. Winner.
