Pub offering selection of beer and wine for just 66p pints to celebrate World Cup start

To mark the start of the World Cup, a pop-up pub in Shoreditch will be offering a selection of beer and wine at just 66p.

On Monday November 21, the ZYN Arms pop-up will be open for the following two days, from 12:30pm to 10pm.

The pop-up will be streaming three matches per day and customers will be able to reserve a table for one of three matches each day.

Meanwhile, other football fans aiming to hit the bar as England and Wales hit the back of the net could be out of luck.

Beer lovers may find Britain’s boozers dry for the start of the Qatar World Cup, because of a strike by delivery drivers.

Unions have issued a bitter warning of a draught drought ahead of a round of walkouts over pay by drivers working for logistics giant GXO.

Unite claims the strikes, from October 31 to November 4, will hamper pubs and bars from filling cellars for the expected flood of fans to watch the matches.

The union said GXO’s drivers make around 40 per cent of beer deliveries.

It claimed the strikes will impact beer supplied by major breweries such as Heineken and Shepherd Neame, to pubs owned by the likes of Stonegate and Admiral Taverns.

Unite said members rejected a five per cent pay rise because that would be a real-terms pay cut given the current rate of inflation.

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Once again, a company that is making hundreds of millions in profits is asking workers to take a pay cut.”

A GXO spokesman: “The union’s statement is inaccurate and misleading and their actions are putting their members, the hospitality sector and consumers at risk of unnecessary disruption.

“The current proposal is for an average 9.2 per cent increase and does not impact sick pay.

"We are in constant contact with our customers and, should a strike go ahead, we have business continuity plans in place to ensure they are adequately stocked and to minimise impact on consumers."
