Cafe Football

Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville, both expert kickers of a pig’s bladder in their day, have opened a place in Westfield Stratford. Themed around the nation’s favourite sport, Cafe Football is out to show that the beautiful game can do better than meat pies and Bovril – that it can do beautiful food, in fact. Menus full of comfort food and game puns like ‘ball food’ are created by chef Michael Wignall, who’s helped other places to Michelin stars, and group executive chef Brendan Fyldes. An official fan hub for Vauxhall during the 2014 World Cup, it’s a sports-casual venue that lends itself to informal corporate takeovers
