This is the absolute ultimate ‘DILF’ (Dad I’d Like to Feed) Father’s Day Gift Guide!

New data from Google Trends reveals a massive 9,800% spike in searches for ‘Father’s Day gifts’ over the past month. 

Our friends at The Cornish Company, believe that the solution is simplicity in itself. 

The way to a man’s heart is firmly through his stomach. 

Leaning into that age-old wisdom, they’ve curated the ultimate gift guide for the ‘DILF’ (Dad I’d Like to Feed). (EDITOR: Oh! So that's what DILF means! They had us worried for a minute or two!)

Available now, the Father’s Day collection from the Cornish Company features a lineup of locally-made, deliciously fresh Cornish delicacies designed to satisfy every craving. 

From the show-stopping Giant ‘DAD’ Steak Pasty and savoury sausage rolls to refreshing Cornish Ales and Ciders, the "pasty and a pint" combo, they’ve got it all. 

And for Dads with a sweet tooth, the collection also includes the signature Cornish cream teas and "coffee & cake" hampers, ensuring every father figure gets a taste of Cornwall delivered straight to his door. 

Tom Woodley, Managing Director & Co-founder at The Cornish Company, told That's Food and Drink: “Let’s face it, most Dads would trade a pair of novelty socks for a giant steak pasty and a cold beer in a heartbeat. 

"At The Cornish Company, we’ve always believed you don't need to over-complicate the ‘perfect’ gift; the most authentic way to show appreciation is through great food.

"Our Father’s Day range is about stripping away the usual clichés and gifting guesswork. We’ve focused on things we know actually hit the spot, like our signature steak pasties and locally brewed ales. 

"Whether he’s into a traditional cream tea or a crisp Cornish cider, our goal is to ensure every father figure feels well-fed and properly celebrated. It’s about giving Dad a genuine moment to put his feet up and enjoy a quality experience delivered straight to his door.”

As far as That's Food and Drink is concerned a proper Cornish pasty with a pint of delicious Cornish ale or cider followed by a Cornish cream tea is a genuine "proper job!" (As my wife's West Country family members would put it!)

A Taste of Cornwall Delivered to Your Door: Discover The Cornish Company

If you’ve ever visited Cornwall, you’ll know that its food culture is something special. 

From golden, flaky pasties to indulgent cream teas piled high with clotted cream, the county has a culinary identity that is loved across the UK. 

But what if you could enjoy those flavours without travelling hundreds of miles?

That’s exactly what The Cornish Company aims to deliver, quite literally.

Bringing Cornwall to the Rest of the UK

Founded by two Cornish entrepreneurs with a passion for their home county, The Cornish Company was created with a simple goal: share the taste of Cornwall with people everywhere. Their mission was to build a community of people who love traditional Cornish food as much as they do.

Since launching, the company has grown into a fast-expanding e-commerce brand specialising in Cornish food hampers delivered nationwide, helping customers experience authentic regional food without leaving home.

The idea taps into something very British: the joy of a proper cream tea.

The Classic Cornish Cream Tea Experience

A traditional Cornish cream tea is delightfully simple, but incredibly satisfying. It usually consists of freshly baked scones served with strawberry jam and rich Cornish clotted cream, accompanied by a good cup of tea.

The Cornish Company packages this iconic treat into postal hampers that arrive ready to enjoy.

A typical cream tea hamper might include:

Freshly baked scones

Rodda’s Cornish clotted cream

Strawberry conserve

Cornish tea

Traditional Cornish biscuits

Some hampers also include handmade steak pasties, combining two of Cornwall’s most famous foods in one box.

The result is a ready-made afternoon tea experience that can be enjoyed at home or sent as a thoughtful gift.

Hampers That Make Perfect Gifts

Food hampers have become increasingly popular for birthdays, anniversaries and celebrations, and Cornish-themed hampers offer something a little different from the usual chocolates or flowers.

The Cornish Company allows customers to:

Choose a delivery date

Add personalised gift messages

Send hampers anywhere in the UK

With options ranging from classic cream teas for two to larger party hampers packed with pasties, biscuits and sweet treats, there’s something for almost any occasion.

Supporting Cornish Food Heritage

Another appealing aspect of the brand is its commitment to sourcing from Cornwall. The company works with local suppliers to showcase the region’s food traditions and artisanal producers.

In doing so, each hamper acts as a small celebration of Cornish food culture, from its famous dairy products to its beloved pastries.

A Little Box of Cornwall

Whether you’re missing the Cornish coast, planning a cosy afternoon tea at home, or looking for a unique food gift, The Cornish Company offers a simple idea done well: authentic regional food delivered straight to your door.

And if you do order a cream tea hamper, remember the golden rule of Cornwall…

Jam first. Always. 

An interesting personal aside, apparently I have always made my cream teas in the jam first Cornish style, but I just didn't know it!
