5. Sir Pickering Phipps in Wellingborough Road
A Pickering Phipps spokesman said: "We're the main sports bar on Wellingborough Road so we'll be busy. It'll be a good atmosphere. We've got food offerings specific to the World Cup. We've got 12 screens. We'll be opening early for some of the 11am and 1pm games. There's space for people to come down and walk in but the tables we're booking out are fully booked and have been for over one month! We're always good for the football." Photo: Google
