For the football mad dad or father figure in your life, then this year Father's Day falls on the same day as England's opening match in the EURO 2024 Championships. What a result!

The ultimate combination of food, drink and footie, we've put together a winning line-up of places to catch all the action and hit the back of the net.

Exeter City FC

The Turk's Head

The atmosphere at the Turk's Head is set to reach fever pitch during the EURO's and it's sure to be a packed house when Engand play. With five screens showing all the live action, there's a plenty of delicious food options courtesy of Eat The Bird and a wide selection of home brews, that hopefully you won't be drowing your sorrows in.

The Stand Off

Before the football action even starts in the evening then how about treating your Father to a traditional Sunday Roast at The Stand Off. Make sure to bring your appetite as there's no scrimping on the portion sizes and all the trimmings here, with vegan options also available. When it's time for kick-off then you won't miss a second as there's large TV's throughout the bar and restaurant, along with a giant projector.

The Dugout at Hotel Indigo

An upscale sports bar in the heart of Exeter, you'll definitely score some points with your Dad if you treat him to a visit at The Dugout. Serving up classic comfort food along with a range of beers, British and craft lagers, and guest ales, you can then kick back and watch the football on their huge ultra-HD screening wall.

Pizza Express

It's a big day for Dad this weekend, with the football and Father's Day landing on the very same Sunday. Add his favourite pizza and lunch with his loved ones and you might be looking at the greatest day ever. Join Pizza Express before the match and treat Dad to a Father's Day celebration menu of two or three-courses and a large Peroni.

Brewdog

Perfect location by Exeter Cathedral

Come and see us on the corner of Exeter’s charming Cathedral Yard, in a listed building once known as Tinley’s tea shop. Inside, the restaurant is split over two floors, so there’s room enough for everyone, with original features like timber frames, exposed brick walls and a cast iron fireplace giving a warm, cosy feel. Sit downstairs to watch our talented pizzaiolos at work in the open kitchen, or take a seat upstairs, where large windows overlook the Cathedral itself. You’ll find us just 5 minutes’ walk from Exeter train station and 10 minutes’ walk from the bus station – and with plenty of car parking nearby too, there’s really no excuse not to visit us.
