][1]The days of Dad going out to work while Mum cooked dinner went the way of the Dodo some years back.
In the 21st century, any Dad is expected to be able to rustle up a decent meal given half an hour’s notice. We’re not saying that every man has to have Jamie’s knife skills combined with Gordon’s flair for precision presentation.
However, knocking up a decent steak and chips should not be beyond even the most ham-fisted pan-dodger.
Blokey kitchen skills
This Father’s Day, you can treat your Dad to an unusual Father’s Day experience while learning the sort of kitchen skills which any bloke will appreciate.
On Sunday, Tennent’s Training Academy are running a Big Steak Cook Off for Father’s Day. Combining a steak dinner master class plus an optional visit to the casino at The Corinthian Club, it’s a double whammy of Father’s Day good times.
Pint of Tennent’s
The experience starts at Wellpark Brewery, home of Tennent’s Lager. The Dads will be greeted with a pint of Tennent’s or Magners before heading to the state of the art Cook School.
Beer & banter
There you will meet the rest of the Dads and lads (or daughters) and prepare for a day of banter and beers.
Michael Kilkie, Sunday Mail columnist, will be your Head Chef tutor for the day and will guide you through a meaty master class. You will learn how to cook your prime steak to perfection, as well as making all the trimmings such as chunky chips and sauces.
Perfect steak
Having cooked your perfect steak, you will get to eat the fruits of your labour before moving through to the Tennent’s Bar School. This where Dads will be shown how to pour the perfect pint and indeed taste it.
Good evening, Mr Bond
After some time in the bar, you will be whisked away in a private taxi to The Corinthian Club. Taxis, entry and casino chips are included – your first bet and drink are free!
The day includes –
2 hour dad & family cookery master class
2 pints Tennent’s or 2 glasses of wine
Steak dinner & side orders
Pint pulling activity in the Bar School
Taxis to The Corinthian Club (optional)
Entry and casino chips for the Corinthian Casino (1 free bet)
1 free drink in the Corinthian Casino
