Father’s Day is a celebration of love, appreciation and gratitude for the men in our lives…
It’s a day to honour not just dads, but all the father figures who’ve shaped us – from grandfathers and stepfathers to uncles, friends and carers.
So this year, why not celebrate Father’s Day in Kent with a special meal by the sea, at one of the most picturesque venues on the south coast?
But time is running out fast, so make sure you get in touch very soon to reserve your table.
Father’s Day is marked in over 100 countries globally, each with their own unique traditions and customs…
In the UK, we celebrate it on the third Sunday in June – a tradition that mirrors America, where Father’s Day was first officially recognised in 1972.
But the idea of honouring fathers goes back much further than that.
In Europe, St Joseph’s Day has long celebrated paternal love. In Thailand, it’s celebrated in December on the birthday of the late King Bhumibol. In Japan, children often give their fathers handmade gifts, poems or yellow roses. While in Germany, ‘Vatertag’ is a lively public holiday where groups of dads head off on hiking trips with beer and bratwurst in tow!
Whatever the tradition, the sentiment is the same. Father’s Day is a moment to pause and show appreciation for the men who’ve supported us, raised us and guided us. Whether biological or chosen family, this day is for them.
There are few places more perfect to mark the occasion than the Hythe Imperial Hotel.
Nestled between the Kent countryside and the English Channel, our grand Victorian hotel offers an unrivalled coastal setting – with sweeping sea views across the English Channel, elegant and modern interiors, and a warm welcome for all.
To celebrate Father’s Day 2025, our chefs have crafted a mouthwatering three-course lunch menu using the best seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients. Expect generous portions, rich flavours and tempting desserts – with something to suit everyone.
The full Father’s Day lunch is priced at £37 per person, offering fantastic value for a luxury dining experience in the heart of Hythe.
To secure your table, a £15 deposit per person is required at the time of booking. We also ask that you let us know about any dietary requirements or allergies when you book.
Why not extend the celebration? After your lunch, you can take a stroll along the promenade beside the hotel, or perhaps explore the nearby towns of Hythe and Folkestone…
You might like to enjoy a drink on our terrace if the weather’s good, or head to the hotel spa for some post-lunch relaxation.
Better still, why not turn Father’s Day into a weekend break? Book an overnight stay and enjoy everything our award-winning hotel has to offer, from golf and afternoon tea to coastal walks and the comfort of our well-appointed bedrooms.
Our Father’s Day lunch is about more than just great food – it’s about gathering together, sharing stories and creating new memories with the men who’ve helped shape who we are.
But tables are now limited for this lunch, so booking right now is highly recommended!
To reserve your place with a £15 per person deposit, give Reception a call on 01303 267441 – or email us.
We look forward to welcoming you soon on Sunday June 15th!
