Oxford pub chain in search for local Father’s Day heroes

Butcombe Pubs & Inns in Oxfordshire is asking the public to nominate extraordinary dads and father figures for a special treat.

Ahead of Father’s Day weekend on June 19, 20, and 21, the campaign aims to celebrate devoted dads, supportive step-dads, brilliant grandads, or any father figure who goes above and beyond.

The chosen ‘father hero’ will enjoy the ‘Big Daddy Brunch’, a hearty feast, at their local Butcombe pub.

Alice Bowyer, director of food and drink at Butcombe Group, stated: “We want to celebrate the dads and father figures who go the extra mile – the ones who support, encourage, and make a difference without ever asking for thanks.”

To nominate, individuals must visit the Instagram page of their preferred Butcombe pub in Oxfordshire and provide a brief nomination of up to 50 words.

Entries should highlight why the nominee is remarkable, what they contribute to their family or community, and why they deserve recognition this Father’s Day weekend.

The Big Daddy Brunch, intended for sharing, includes a grilled bacon chop, Saxon sausages, Stornoway black pudding, roast mushrooms and tomatoes, hash browns, baked beans, fried eggs, pub chips, toast, and fried bread, with unlimited tea or coffee, priced from £40.

Nominations are now open via participating pubs’ Instagram pages, with the winner announced ahead of Father’s Day weekend.

Butcombe Pubs & Inns in Oxfordshire include The Trout at Tadpole Bridge, The Victoria Arms in Old Marston, and The Prince of Burford in Burford.
