Father’s Day dining can so easily fall into the predictable, but Angler has a more considered idea for the occasion.
Set high above South Place Hotel, the Michelin-starred London restaurant is marking Sunday, 21 June with a lunch that pairs polished cooking with one of the city’s most appealing skyline settings.
Led by MasterChef winner Craig Johnston, the menu leans into seasonal British produce, seafood precision and the kind of relaxed formality that suits a celebratory Sunday without making it feel stiff.

A Father’s Day lunch with altitude
Angler’s appeal has always been about more than the plate, though the kitchen gives plenty of reason to book.
The restaurant’s position atop South Place Hotel brings light, space and city views into the experience, making it feel immediately more occasion-worthy than the usual Sunday lunch reservation.
For Father’s Day, that setting does a lot of work without shouting about it.
Guests can dine inside the bright, composed restaurant or take a table on the terrace, where the London skyline becomes part of the afternoon.
Craig Johnston’s seasonal British menu
The Father’s Day menu is shaped around the kind of produce-led cooking Angler is known for, with seafood naturally playing a central role.
Native Lobster Raviolo with fennel and Thai basil brings a refined, aromatic lift to a luxurious ingredient, giving the meal a suitably celebratory opening.
Steamed Turbot with new season peas and cockles continues the seafood focus, placing pristine ingredients in a quietly elegant composition.
For diners leaning towards meat, Roast Pork Loin with poached white asparagus and wild garlic velouté offers a more classic British route, generous in spirit but still neatly in tune with the restaurant’s polished style.
Wine pairings and a relaxed Michelin-starred mood
Optional wine pairings are available for those who want to build out the lunch, with selections ranging from crisp whites to richer reds.
The pairings are designed to sit alongside the seasonality of the menu rather than dominate it, which feels right for a long Sunday celebration.
Angler’s particular strength is that it doesn’t mistake refinement for stiffness.
The room is smart, the service is polished, and the atmosphere remains warm enough for fathers, grandfathers and father figures who might not want their celebratory meal wrapped in too much ceremony.
Booking the Father’s Day table
The Father’s Day lunch is available exclusively at lunchtime on Sunday, 21 June.
For families looking to make the day feel special without drifting into the overly formal, Angler offers a persuasive combination of Michelin-starred cooking, London views and thoughtful seasonal detail.
The restaurant is also dog-friendly, a useful touch for those who prefer the whole household to be part of the occasion.
With its rooftop setting, seafood-led menu and easy sense of occasion, Angler makes a strong case for treating Father’s Day as more than just another Sunday lunch.
