The England versus France World Cup quarter-final is expected to be a nail-biting match, when the Three Lions take on the reigning world champions at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor. France may prove to be a formidable opponent, however footie fans have one less thing to worry about - food - in the run-up to the match on Saturday, December 10.
Pub goers can treat themselves to a free bap this Saturday in Hungry Horse pubs ahead of the game that is expected to draw millions of viewers as people tune in to see the beautiful game. Customers can get either a bacon, sausage or Quorn sausage bap for free, but only if they say the secret code phrase 'Mmm Bap Day' at the till.
The deal is inspired by the latest England fixture, which sees the Three Lions come up against an impressive French team containing a number of high-profile stars including Kylian Mbappé. The France striker has already notched 5 goals and 2 assists at this winter’s tournament, with France breezing past Poland in the round of 16 to set up a scintillating tie with England this weekend.
The England versus France match is set to be shown live across over 250 Hungry Horse pubs nationwide, so pubgoers can pick up their free bap and set themselves up for the day ahead of the big game. Whether you call it a bap, bun, butty, cob or barm, guests will be able to claim their free treat this weekend.
The offer is valid until 12:00 or when breakfast service stops. Check out your local pub’s webpage for specific timings here https://www.hungryhorse.co.uk/find-us/.
What time is kick-off for England versus France?
The highly anticipated match is expected to be another ratings winner for sports broadcasters. ITV will be showing the match on Saturday, December 10 at 7pm GMT.
It appears the nation is cheering on the Three Lions during the Qatar tournament. According to Broadcast Sport, the England versus Iran match was the most streamed event on iPlayer ever, whilst the England clash with Wales hit 18.7 million viewers across all BBC platforms.
Speaking about the free bap initiative, Sarah Williams, Senior Marketing Manager for Hungry Horse, said: “While Southgate’s team will be getting ready to fend off Mbappé and the rest of Les Bleus in Qatar, the only thing our customers need worry about is which of the free sausage, bacon or Quorn sausages baps they’ll be opting for. At Hungry Horse we’re big on the spirit of generosity, so as football fever grips the nation, it made sense to give that little something extra back to our customers.”
