The 2026 FIFA World Cup is approaching fast, and Kansas City isn’t just hosting matches, we’re hosting England’s national team as their official base camp. That means our city will be buzzing with football fever, English fans, and the perfect excuse to throw unforgettable watch parties.
If you’re already thinking about how to make your World Cup experience epic (and you should be), now is the time to start planning. And when it comes to feeding your crew authentic British flavors that match the vibe, there’s only one answer: Brit Boy Street Food.
England’s Base Camp = Kansas City’s Moment
This isn’t just any World Cup. Kansas City has been chosen as England’s official base camp for the tournament. That means:
- Thousands of English supporters descending on KC
- International media attention focused on our city
- A surge of football culture taking over the metro area
- The perfect excuse to embrace British traditions (including the food!)
Whether you’re a die-hard England supporter, a casual soccer fan, or just someone who loves a good party, the World Cup is going to be the event of 2026. And your watch party should match the energy.
Why Plan Your Watch Parties Now?
You might be thinking, “The World Cup is still months away, why plan now?” Here’s why smart hosts are already making moves:
1. Group Orders Take Time
Catering for 10, 20, or 50+ people isn’t something you arrange the night before. The best hosts lock in their food early to guarantee availability, especially during high-demand match days.
2. Popular Time Slots Fill Up Fast
England’s matches will be the hottest tickets in town (literally and figuratively). If thousands of fans are trying to order British food for the same kickoff time, who do you think gets priority? The people who planned ahead.
3. Customize Your Menu
When you plan in advance, you can work with us to create the perfect spread for your group. Want all sausage rolls? A mix of pies and fish and chips? Veggie options for your mates? Planning ahead means you get exactly what you want.
4. Build the Hype
Part of the fun of the World Cup is the anticipation. When you tell your friends, “I’ve already got authentic British catering locked in for the England matches,” you’re not just planning, you’re building excitement.
Brit Boy Street Food: The Perfect Match Day Catering
Let’s be honest: you can’t throw a proper England watch party with pizza and chicken wings. If you’re going to match the vibe of having England’s base camp in Kansas City, you need authentic British street food.
Our Most Popular Match Day Options
Fish and Chips (The Classic)
Nothing says British culture like proper fish and chips. Our beer-battered cod or haddock with thick-cut chips, mushy peas, and curry sauce is the ultimate crowd-pleaser. It’s hearty, shareable, and tastes like you’re in a proper English chippy.
Sausage Rolls (The Grab-and-Go Hero)
Perfect for watch parties where people are standing, cheering, and moving around. Our flaky pastry sausage rolls are handheld perfection, no plates required, just pure savory satisfaction. Available in classic and spicy varieties.
Meat Pies (The Comfort Food Champion)
Our steak and ale pies, chicken and mushroom pies, and shepherd’s pies are the ultimate comfort food for match day. Rich, hearty, and designed to keep your guests happy through extra time and penalty shootouts.
Brown Sauce, Curry Sauce, and All the Trimmings
We don’t cut corners on authenticity. Every order comes with the proper sides and sauces that British fans expect. This isn’t Americanized British food, this is the real deal.
Convenient Pickup Locations Across the Metro
One of the best things about Brit Boy? We make it easy. We have multiple pickup locations throughout Kansas City, Lenexa, Shawnee, and Overland Park, so you can grab your order wherever is most convenient for you.
Hosting a watch party in Overland Park? We’ve got you covered. Tailgating before the match near Arrowhead? No problem. Gathering at a pub in the Crossroads? We’re right there with you.
Match the Vibe: How to Throw a Proper World Cup Watch Party
Authentic British food is the foundation, but let’s talk about making your watch party legendary:
Set the Scene
- England flags and scarves (or support your own country, we love all football fans)
- Proper kickoff times displayed clearly (no one wants to miss the whistle)
- Big screen setup with great sound (cheering is mandatory)
- Themed decorations that match your team’s colors
The Food Strategy
- Order more than you think you need (hungry fans eat a lot)
- Keep it simple and shareable (sausage rolls and fish and chips are perfect)
- Have vegetarian options (we’ve got you covered)
- Don’t forget the beer (pair with local craft brews for the full experience)
Build Community
The World Cup isn’t just about football, it’s about bringing people together. Invite your neighbors, coworkers, and that one friend who “doesn’t really watch soccer” (they’ll have fun anyway). Make it a tradition. Plan to watch every England match together, or mix it up and support different teams throughout the tournament.
