50 days until the FIFA World Cup 2026 hits our screens.

5 tips to make sure you’re ready for it all kicking off on 11th June ⚽️

1. Make friends with the bar team
There are a lot of matches ahead. You’ll be seeing plenty of each other.

2. Get the app downloaded
No one wants to be three-deep at the bar when something happens.

3. Do a practice run
Bar > Table > Bar. No detours.

4. Choose your team wisely
And by that, we mean who you’re bringing with you (strategically selecting shorter friends is entirely up to you).

5. Don’t forget to book 🍻

We’ve got plenty of space for walk-ins, but if you fancy a table to cling onto when it all gets a bit tense… you know what to do.

🍔 NEW BURGER DROP 🍔
Say hello to your new obsession…

A seriously stacked patty made from short rib & brisket, topped with gherkins, crispy onions, and our signature burger sauce, all tucked into a toasted sesame seed brioche bun 🤤🔥
Served up with a pot of golden fries on the side, because no great burger goes solo.

Crafted by our chef (you’ll spot him by the Dragon Ball tattoo 👀🐉), bringing a little extra passion to every bite.
This one’s not sticking around… come get it while it’s hot.
