Event Navigation
On Friday 18th April 2025, The Cock Tavern in Hackney, East London, are holding their second annual Egg Day to find the fastest pickled egg eaters in the world with “How Fast Can You Eat A Pickled Egg?”.
For the last eight years the pub and more importantly the staff have become famous for keeping a scoreboard of the top 12 fastest pickled egg eaters in the world. Luke ‘Pickle Boy’ Molloy and pub manager Eggy Joel, hatched the ‘egg scene’ in 2016. Having become a bit of a tourist attraction, social media has made it a hot spot amongst the pickled egg eating enthusiasts visiting London. Currently the top 12 scores are all two seconds or less, it can be a bit intimidating for anyone wanting to see their name on the board. What makes Egg Day 2025 EGGstra special is now the board gets wiped clean, a total reset. All that plus for one day only the board extends to Top 25. Everyone has the chance to be a recognised pickled egg eating hero.
The first annual Egg Day was on Good Friday 2024 and proved such a popular event, smashing all previous bar sales and is expected to do so again with hundreds anticipated to attend including the return of 2024’s champions to defend their titles.
