Introducing the Sir Geoff Hurst Hat-trick Special!

In honour of England football legend Sir Geoff Hurst, we’ve launched a hat-trick special – just in time for the World Cup 2026 kick off!

This summer, enjoy the Sir Geoff Hurst Hat-trick Special at Poppies: haddock and chips, mushy peas and a beer or soft drink for £19.66.

England football legend Sir Geoff Hurst, who scored an incredible hat-trick for England in the 1966 World Cup winning final, says it really is time to support your chippy! This follows a study from Poppies Fish & Chips, which found that only a quarter of England footie fans would choose fish and chips as their top food choice against the likes of hotdogs and pizzas when watching international matches. Sir Geoff said:

When it comes to watching England, fish & chips should be as much part of the matchday ritual as singing Three Lions. I was shocked when I heard how few fans are choosing fish & chips – how can you cheer on England with a slice of pizza in your hand?! This could be the reason why England hasn’t won in the last 60 years!

With all the wonderful rituals fans have, it seems far more likely that eating England’s most iconic dish will spur the team on to victory than wearing lucky pants! If we want to recreate that winning spirit, we need to get behind our national dish as well as our national team.

Don’t miss a trick this summer. It’s time to support your team and back your chippy in this World Cup! Tuck into a Poppies Hat-trick Special in honour of Sir Geoff Hurst for your next matchday meal!
