Barzinho opened in May and occupying the downstairs bar space at Archer Street in London until autumn, Brazilian-themed Barzinho has a capacity of 240 and offers a flamboyant and colourful environment, with Brazilian-inspired cocktails including Go Go Guava Glowsticks, a mix of Tanqueray gin shaken with goji liqueur, guava and fresh lime juice, seved up and garnished with glowsticks and a Batlida Colada, a Brazilian twist on a classic.

Far Rock Away bar and restaurant in Shoreditch has devised a starting 11 pizza dream team, with its World Cup Pizza All Stars. To honour the hosts Brazil, the one and only Pele is represented in the form of a freshly-made tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, pulled seasoned chicken, requeijão cheese and roasted pineapples. Captaining the squad will be the legendary Sir Bobby Moore, the quintessential Englishman, who will be represented through the archetypal toppings of a full English: sausages, bacon, eggs and beans. World Cup packages are available for groups of minimum ten people. 

Moving Venue is bringing the taste of Brazil to its food, creating a series of seasonal menus that draw on South American flavours for the summer months. 'Latino Flavours' has been created for alfresco client and internal team entertaining. The menus include churrasco and caipirinhas, and can be tailored from drinks receptions and dinners to more casual affairs. Moving Venue's alfresco event spaces include the Museum of London, One Embankment and the Darwin Centre at the Natural History Museum.
