About This Event

England vs Croatia Live at Big Tray BBQ

Get yourself down to Big Tray BBQ on Wednesday 17 June 2026 for a free screening of the England vs Croatia match – a proper chance to watch the Three Lions with fellow fans in a buzzing Manchester atmosphere. It's the ideal spot if you want to catch all the action without breaking the bank, and the 8pm kick-off means you can grab a drink and some top-notch barbecue while soaking up the electric pre-match buzz.

Big Tray BBQ has earned serious respect in Manchester's food scene, serving up authentic smoked meats and sides that'll keep you fuelled throughout the match. The venue's got that relaxed vibe that makes it perfect for match days – you're not squashed into a packed pub, but you've still got that collective energy when England scores.

Head down from 7:30pm to bag a decent spot and get your order in early, as the kitchen will be rammed once kick-off approaches. The 18+ age restriction means you'll have a proper grown-up crowd atmosphere. Pro tip: it's free entry but you'll want to spend a bit on food and drinks to support the venue, so bring cash or be ready with your card.
