England vs Norway: Watch the World Cup Quarter-Final at Lost and Found This Saturday
The tension is building. The flags are flying. The Fiveways community is buzzing. If you haven’t heard the roar from Ditchling Road yet, you’re about to. This Saturday, 11th July 2026, England takes on Norway in a massive World Cup Quarter-Final clash that has the whole country on edge. And let’s be honest: watching a game of this magnitude on your sofa with a lukewarm supermarket lager just isn’t going to cut it.
At Lost and Found, we’re doing things differently. We aren’t your average, sticky-carpeted sports bar with generic taps and flickering screens. We’re an independent Brighton venue built on a love for exceptional drink, incredible community, and the kind of atmosphere you can only get when you’re surrounded by people who care as much about the pint in their hand as the goal on the screen.
Kick-off is at 10pm UK time (shout out to the Miami heat!), and we’re turning our Brighton taproom into the ultimate stadium-away-from-stadium. Whether you’re a tactical genius who knows every stat or just here for the "it’s coming home" vibes, this is the place to be.
Why Fiveways is the Only Place to Be This Saturday
There’s something special about football in Fiveways. It’s not just about the eleven players on the pitch; it’s about the collective breath-holding, the shared groans at a missed sitter, and the absolute bedlam when the back of the net ripples.
Most taprooms in Brighton offer a place to sit, but we offer a place to belong. We’ve always been the counter-culture to the big-label, corporate-owned bars. While the chains will be pushing mass-produced fizzy yellow water, we’re keeping our taps dedicated to the craft. We believe a high-stakes match deserves a high-quality beer.
We’ve curated a selection that celebrates the best of Sussex and beyond. When you’re watching England’s finest stars like Bellingham and Kane try to navigate the Norwegian defense, you should be drinking a beer that has just as much character and skill behind it.
The Craft Beer: Independent Sussex Souls in Every Sip
Let’s talk about the liquid gold. We are a craft beer taproom first and foremost. Our mission has always been to champion the brewers who stay independent and rooted in their craft. You won't find any corporate "craft" brands here. We’re talking about real people, real hops, and real passion.
Our rotating taps will be showcasing the very best of Brighton's craft scene. We’re huge fans of Hand Brew Co, and you can bet we’ll have something special lined up for the weekend. Whether you’re into a crisp, refreshing pilsner to settle the nerves or a punchy, hop-heavy IPA to celebrate a screamer from 30 yards, our fridges and taps are ready for action.
Like what you’ve tasted? Want to try some more? Our staff are seasoned beer enthusiasts (not just bartenders) who can guide you through our latest selections. We even stock our fridges with local independent beers for you to take away if you’re heading to a post-match party, though we think the vibe here is too good to leave!
Street Food to Fuel the Fans
A 10pm kick-off means you’re going to need some serious sustenance to keep the energy up. Since we don’t have an on-site kitchen, we do what we do best: collaborate with the finest local food legends.
Keep an eye out for our weekend street food vans parked right outside. We regularly host amazing partners like MOMO, serving up incredible dumplings, bao buns, and sliders. There’s nothing quite like a cold pint of Sussex pale ale paired with some world-class street food while the pre-match analysis plays out on the big screen. It’s the perfect alternative to the standard "pie and a pint" you’d get elsewhere.
More Than Just a Match: A Community Hub
Lost and Found is more than just a place to watch the game; it’s a community-focused space where locals from the Fiveways area come to connect. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive, friendly spot where everyone, from die-hard fans to those who only watch football every four years, feels welcome.
If you’re planning a larger celebration or want to secure a spot for a group of friends, did you know we also offer venue hire for parties and events? We can host up to 80 people, making us a prime Brighton party venue for birthdays, anniversaries, or even just a dedicated "we love football" private bash. While Saturday is all about the public screening, keep us in mind for your next big milestone!
