We’ve already reported on what a boost the World Cup will be for pub profits, and provided landlords with some advice on preparing their pub for the summer of sport.

And now, with the kick off now tantalisingly close, we want to share some tips on how best to cater for hungry footie fans.

Sharing platters of finger food are a great way to satisfy their appetite without forcing them to take their eyes off the game for too long. Keep things interesting by offering a few different selections – Tex Mex, Chinese, or Hot and Spicy are good starting points for themes - and ensure the platters look appealing by choosing a mixture of food in different colours and shapes.

Make sure that all of the food is easy to prepare and can be cooked as quick as possible to make the most of half time munchies and don’t forget about desserts – pudding platters can work really well too.

For further advice, Admiral Taverns landlords can speak to the Mypubfood team.
