For those who’d like their penalties with a side of paneer, Zouk Tea Bar & Grill is screening every England group stage game with reserved seating, table service and a fabulously unique curry-and-cocktails package to accompany the tournament.

Promising a football fan experience with a distinctive twist, the restaurant will show each of England’s 2026 World Cup group stage fixtures live on two large mezzanine screens, offering a more relaxed alternative to conventional, cramped standing-room-only environments found elsewhere. Whether you’re planning a catch-up with friends, a family outing or an office social, Zouk combines the buzz of tournament football with the comfort and spacious serenity of a refined evening out.

England’s opening fixtures see them take on Croatia on Wed 17 Jun at 9pm, followed by Ghana on Tue 23 Jun at 9pm and Panama on Sat 27 Jun at 10pm. Guests will be welcomed onto the mezzanine ahead of kick-off, giving them plenty of time to order drinks, settle into their seats and enjoy dinner before the action begins.

To mark the occasion, Zouk has introduced a special £29 match-day package, which includes poppadoms and chutneys to start, followed by a choice of curry or biryani from the main menu, accompanied by naan bread, rice or chips. The package also includes a drink, with guests able to choose from Cobra beer, house wine, cocktails or soft drinks.

Menu highlights include favourites like Butter Chicken, Chicken Karahi, Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Laziz, alongside Zouk’s celebrated biryanis and a selection of vegetarian dishes including Palak Paneer, Daal Makhani and Mutter Paneer.

Guests can either toast a Three Lions victory or drown their sorrows with an expansive drinks menu, featuring everything from Mojitos and Aperol Spritzes to Espresso Martinis and Champagne, while larger parties can pre-order Cobra beer buckets to keep the festivities flowing throughout the evening.

Guests can kick off the celebrations on the outdoor terrace and continue after the final whistle, turning England’s fixtures into a complete experience rather than simply somewhere to catch the score.

Tickets for all England group stage matches are available now, although with limited mezzanine seating, early booking is strongly advised for those hoping to secure their spot for the biggest games of the summer. Book yours below, and read more HERE.
