With the first England game fast approaching, we’ve been busy looking around Chiswick, and putting a guide together of the best bars, restaurants, pubs and venues to enjoy the FIFA World Cup 2010 this summer.
Apologies if football isn’t your thing, and the whole idea of a nation jumping up and down in front of the telly box at your favourite pub or restaurant is filling you with dread, don’t fret, you can always [click here] for our “Comprehensive guide to not watching the FIFA World Cup 2010” and breathe a sigh of relief!

OK, WHAT’S ON AND WHERE?

If you prefer to be by the river, you’ll still be able to soak in the atmosphere of the World Cup at the City Barge pub, on Strand on the Green. With large widescreen TV’s in both the bottom and top bars, 3 for 4 on pitchers of IPA, table service, special FIFA World Cup 2010 food menu, and an outdoor seating area right by the river you’ll not only never miss a second of the footy, but you’ll be able to sample some great food, refreshing drinks, and chill out in the sun (hopefully) after the game.
