Café Football: a Review

What do you get when you combine 

über-famous footballers & Michelin-starred chefs? 

A cool restaurant serving comfort food 

with a {tasty} twist. 

The Restaurant 

Owned by Manchester United's Gary Neville & Ryan Giggs, 

{they are very famous, says Mr K}  

Café Football opened a few months ago 

in Westfield Stratford, east London. 

The interiors are 'pub meets trendy restaurant' 

with comfy banquets and a bar. 

As you'd expect, TV screens show the match of the hour, 

but it's not annoying {for non-football fans, obviously}. 

On the contrary, it adds 

to the cheery laid-back ambiance of this place.

The Food 

Café Football's menu was created 

by Michelin-starred chef Michael Wignall. 

And this says it all: 

the food is absolutely delicious, 

well cooked, with attention to detail.

You can choose between classic pub dishes, 

like the {scrumptious} burgers, ribs & shepherd's pie, 

or go for something lighter, 

like the avocado prawn sandwich (yummy) & falafel kebab. 

Tip: don't let the hearty portions stand between you 

and the {divine} half-time orange dessert!

Little Touches

Café Football is very child-friendly.

The kids menu is simple with tried & tested dishes 

{pasta, pizza, burgers} and generous portions. 

Kids can choose their dessert 

from the cute ice-cream bar/sweet shop 

{a feature much appreciated by the Toddler}.

Plus, they get a balloon after finishing their meal 

{needless to say, the Toddler was very impressed}.

for a fun, relaxed & tasty family day out.
