Restaurants in Hockley are all set to put football on the menu as the European Championships in France takes place.
In conjunction with the Nottingham City of Football project twenty-four venues from around the Hockley area of the city are taking part in the #HockleyFoodandDrinkChallenge at the start of July.
Each venue has been designated a country from the European Championship finals and will be tasked with creating a unique dish, snack, drink or cocktail that represents and celebrates their nation and they will have this available on their menu for the duration of the tournament.
Customers will then have the opportunity to tweet photos with each dish or drink they have to be entered in an additional prize draw to win tickets to the Splendour Festival this year.
The City of Football will bring together each of the Euro themed delights for a celebration event on Friday 1 July at The Bodega, Nottingham, from 2pm where members of the public are invited to attend for an afternoon of live music.
This event will form part of the Nottingham City of Football, Summer of Football celebration, where 50 football sessions and events will take place over the summer to help the whole of Nottingham #FindTheirFootball.
Amanda Chambers, Managing Director for Nottingham City of Football said “Football fever is set to hit Nottingham this summer and we wanted to find a way of working with some of the businesses from around Hockley and thought this would be a great way of engaging with members of the local public and venues alike.”
“In what is a special year for the three home nations who have qualified for the Euro finals in France, I would love to see the whole city getting excited and finding their football this summer.”
