Want to watch the World Cup in style? Carnaby’s a smart place to do it … especially if you’re the lucky reader who wins my latest comp: a shopping spree worth £100 and dinner for two at free range chicken and craft beer haven, Whyte & Brown. Keep reading to find out how to win along with details about all the great World Cup action taking place in the heart of Soho.
Carnaby has been swept into football frenzy as shops and restaurants unite to cheer for this summer’s 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil.
Once the Cup kicks off Carnaby will be one of London’s sportiest destinations with screenings of matches, limited edition products, special menus and more. So whether shopping is your favourite sort of contact sport or something you’d rather enjoy as a spectator, a £100 gift card for you to spend as you wish along the fashionable lanes of Carnaby should be just the thing to please any football fan.
All that shopping should leave you with a hearty appetite too. Good thing then I’m able to throw in dinner for you and a guest at Whyte & Brown. During the World Cup this new chicken ‘n beer restaurant will offer nine special edition burgers representing some of the World Cup’s participating nations. Burgers include the Japanese burger which combines tempura chicken with wasabi mayonnaise and pickled ginger, and the English All Day Breakfast burger featuring baked beans, fried egg, black pudding and bacon. Yummy!
