For a Father’s Day you won’t Forget

steak-pie

With father’s day coming up on the 17th June, many of us here at Kitchen Design Centre have been racking our brains and wondering just how to say thanks to our doting dads.

Well, we all know that the way to a father’s heart is through his stomach, so what better way to celebrate Father’s Day than with food? The team at Kitchen Design Centre has put together some ideas below that are sure to show your dad how important he is to you – and taste great too!

How about a Pie for dear old Pa?

One classic way to show affection through food is with delicious baked goods, and we’ve chosen the homemade pie as our dish of the day. Pies are relatively straightforward dishes to throw together – particularly easy if you use pre-made pastry – while presenting lots of possibility to vary the filling according to Dad’s tastes.

Making and baking a pie is also a lovely way to involve little ones in the kitchen as well (keeping them occupied while Dad gets on with some seriously deserved pottering time).

We’ve had a look around the web and chosen a few great pie recipes for your perusal:

  • For a really simple classic pie, try Jamie Oliver’s steak and Guinness pie. Not only will the classic flavours warm the heart but Jamie has no problem with shop-bought puff pastry, which makes the pie both delicious and stress-free.
  • This bacon and egg pie from the BBC’s Paul Hollywood is guaranteed to make your Dad one happy chappy, although it’s a little more complex (and Paul insists on homemade pastry – of course!).
  • Delia Smith’s classic fish pie doesn’t require any pastry at all – just a delicious crust of cheese and potato covering a mixture of fishes in a creamy sauce. You can’t beat hearty food at the end of a hard day’s relaxing, and Delia’s recipe is sure to hit the spot.

Of course, all good cooking starts with a good oven, and the Neff Single Oven range is at hand to make sure your pies come out perfect every time.

We at Kitchen Design Centre love the Neff range for their sleek style and easy-to-use interface – why should cooking be complex when it can be made easy (and beautiful)?

Thanks to a brilliant bit of design, the Neff Single Oven keeps the flavours of your cooking separate with innovative CircoTherm® technology, which makes it ideal for whipping up multiple sweet and savory dishes together at once. A stonking Father’s Day feast is made wonderfully easy with a Neff Single Oven watching over your food.

Kitchen Design Centre: for a Life with Less Stress

If you’re keen to celebrate father’s day with a spread fit for a king, then you’ll want to make sure your kitchen can handle the task in hand – and Kitchen Design Centre is here to help.

This sleek Neff Fridge-Freezer is designed with space in mind and can hold up to 262 litres of food – more than enough for your Father’s Day feast. You will even be able to prepare some elements the day before and make Father’s Day as stress-free as possible.

When it comes to assembling the big meal, the elegant chrome Neff Warming Drawer is perfect for keeping meat and bread warm and can also heat up your plates prior to serving (nothing says banquet quite like warm plates!).

Treating Dad to a new kitchen?

Here at Kitchen Design Centre, we’re constantly looking for tasty ways to celebrate life’s big events – from Fathers’ Day, Mothers’ Day, to Valentine’s. Whatever the date, we want to help you make the most of your kitchen with our designer range.

So if you’re looking to make changes to your kitchen or simply feel it could do with a spring lift before the summer hits, then contact Kitchen Design Centre today. We’ve got a host of expert designers on hand to help turn your kitchen dreams into reality.

Its clever design seamlessly links into a media wall and presentation area, incorporating the essence of modern open-plan living.

MODERN MINIMALISM AT ITS FINEST IN OUR URMSTON SHOWROOM

Our Urmston showroom display showcases a bold, modern kitchen design that effortlessly blends both form and function. The handleless units create a streamlined, uninterrupted flow throughout the space, perfectly complemented by the ultra-matt black finish on the worktops. This pairs beautifully with the elegant black ribbed-veneered door for the focal wall. 

This minimalist design approach offers a chic, contemporary vibe, ideal if you love the clean, clutter-free aesthetic. To enhance this look, we’ve used warm accent colours that break up the monochrome palette, adding a sense of inviting depth and warmth to the overall space. The subtle, extravagant marble panels add a touch of quiet luxury, their natural veining providing visual interest and texture against the sleek black surfaces, especially when lit by warm LED lighting. This fusion of modern materials and timeless elements, such as marble, creates a display that is both stylish and practical!

In Barrowford, we’ve embraced a calming, earthy palette that combines functionality with elegance.

The warm, neutral tones of the Natural Umber give this kitchen a wonderfully cosy feel, making it a welcoming space for both cooking and entertaining.

One of the key features of this display is the 30mm Vanilla Noir quartz worktop, which stands out with its dark, characterful design. The designer bench seating includes pullout storage to maximise space without sacrificing style. The bifold worktop unit and sliding doors on the island showcase smart storage solutions. Finally, the open shelves add a touch of rustic charm!

The Toronto base units and matching worktops are finished in Natural Vintage Oak for a beautiful and cohesive end result.
