WEMBILLET
The summer of football is coming to Clapton, and Wembillet is back.
If you missed the Crooked Billet during the Euros, you probably heard about it anyway. The queues, the noise, the garden, the goals, the pints in the air. This is where tournament football turns into a proper day out.
Expect:
- A huge garden screen for the World Cup
- A covered garden with a retractable roof
- Proper Crooked Billet football atmosphere
- Big queues, big noise and full-on matchday energy
- No standard bookings for England fixtures
- Bookings for friendlies and selected non-England group-stage games
- Walk-ins encouraged early where space allows
We’ll have a massive screen going in. How big? Just over Harry Kane tall and about one and a half Harry Kanes wide. That’s roughly 2m tall and 3m wide. With the new retractable roof covering half the garden, we’ve got you covered, whatever the weather decides to do.
But the real reason to come is the thing you can’t fake, manufacture or stream at home: the atmosphere.
On matchdays, Crooked Billet is not just a pub in Clapton. It is a full-blown football hub. It is the sound of the crowd before kick-off, the collective gasp at a near miss and the roar that rattles the garden when the ball hits the back of the net.
England games are expected to be huge, so get down early and keep an eye on updates. For friendlies and selected non-England group-stage games, you can save your spot in advance.
This is not background football. This is shouting at the screen, hugging strangers, losing your voice by half-time football.
So if you want big screens, big energy and the feeling that you were actually there, do the right thing. Get to the Crooked Billet.
Pure football vibes this summer

How big is our screen?
How big? Big enough that you won’t need to squint, shuffle seats, or argue over the best viewing spot,
It stands just over Harry Kane’s height and about one and a half Harry Kanes wide. That’s roughly 2m tall and 3m wide ( we’ve tested it!)
