Full list of north Essex pubs confirmed to open for England’s 1am World Cup game

The last-16 tie, kicking off at 1am on Monday, July 6, is set to be shown in a number of venues across the area, after selected pubs were granted extended licensing hours until 5am.

The temporary change comes after the Government confirmed venues would not need to apply individually for longer hours on the night, in a move designed to support the hospitality industry and bring fans together.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said: “Football might be coming home but we’re making sure fans don’t have to.

“Pubs staying open till the final whistle is good news for supporters and good news for the pubs and venues that bring our communities together.”

Only venues that already hold a licence to sell alcohol on-site are able to stay open later under the new rules.

All pubs are allowed to stay open, so even if a pub isn’t listed they may still be showing the game, so contact them directly.

Below are confirmed Greene King pubs and pubs that have applied to their local councils and have been granted confirmed permission in advance.

Pubs and venues in north and mid-Essex expected to show the game include:

Gardeners, Chelmsford

Orange Tree, Braintree

White Hart, Coggeshall

White Hart Hotel, Braintree

Rovers Tye, Colchester

Swan Inn, Stanway (near Colchester)

Willow, Harlow

The Bowling Centre, Colchester

The Cricketers, Fordham Heath

The Queens Arms, Clacton

The Roaring Donkey, Clacton

Skinners Arms, Manningtree

Tom Peppers, Clacton

England face Mexico in the World Cup round of 16 at the Azteca Stadium, with kick-off at 1am on Monday, July 6.

The winner will go on to play either Brazil or Norway in the quarter-finals at 10pm on Saturday, July 11.
