Manchester pizzeria Forbici teams up with The Urban Gent to offer dads free haircuts on Father’s Day

Pizzeria Forbici in Manchester has announced a collaboration with local barbershop The Urban Gent to offer a complimentary haircut to fathers dining at the restaurant on 15^th June. The initiative, timed to coincide with Father’s Day, aims to provide a unique experience for Manchester families by combining a meal with a grooming service.

The offer will be available exclusively to dads who order any pizza while dining in at the restaurant. Upon settling the bill, eligible customers will receive a physical voucher for a free haircut at The Urban Gent, whose diverse clientele includes high-profile figures such as former Manchester United player Marcos Rojo and the city’s mayor, Andy Burnham. The voucher can be redeemed for a standard haircut, valued at £30, between 15^th June and 15^th July 2025, and customers wishing to upgrade their service can use the voucher as credit towards other grooming treatments. 

Forbici, which opened recently in Manchester, specialises in Neapolitan-style pizza made with ingredients sourced directly from Naples. The restaurant’s name, meaning “scissors” in Italian, reflects its distinctive serving method: pizzas are cut into quarters at the table using scissors, in a nod to traditional Italian practices. According to the restaurant, this approach is intended to distinguish Forbici within Manchester’s growing food scene.

The Urban Gent is described as a “celebrated” grooming destination in the city, offering services across all hair types with a growing reputation as a celebrity hotspot.

Forbici’s management stated that the collaboration is intended to provide “more than just a full belly” for fathers celebrating on Sunday: “Every dad who dines in at Forbici on Father’s Day will walk away with more than just a full belly – they’ll also receive a voucher for a free professional haircut, redeemable at Urban Gent, one of the city’s most respected grooming destinations.”
