Close your eyes! - London restaurant launch Guinness Milkshake in 'world first'
A London burger joint is said to have launched a 'world first' and Guinness drinkers need to be warned, this could cause offence. Black Tap based in SoHo, London, have launched a Guinness milkshake, combining a half pint of the beloved stout with cream, chocolate and cake. The wacky shake can be made with either the traditional Guinness or its 0.0% alternative for the designated drivers and non-drinkers. The wacky shake can be made with either the traditional Guinness or it's 0.0% alternative for the designated drivers and non-drinkers. Pic: Hot Dinners/ Instagram A half pint of the stout is blended with soft-serve ice-cream and put into a glass with chocolate sauce and a frosted vanilla rim with white chocolate chips. The beverage is topped with a generous helping of whipped cream with the Guinness CrazyShake going a step further and featuring a brownie and slice of Guinness Cake on top. The shakes launched in the restaurants which have bases in Soho and Stratford last week and are understood to be a limited time only special. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hot Dinners (@hotdinners) Black Tap is a New York City eatery which opened its first location in the United Kingdom last November, followed by their Stratford location which opened earlier in 2025. The burger restaurant is known for its New-York style burger, craft beers and CrazyShake milkshakes, but have they gone a bit too far with a Guinness milkshake? Social media food review Hot Dinners shared a glimpse at the Guinness CrazyShake, revealing that the insane shake was an 'official collab' between Black Tap and Guinness. Black Tap based in SoHo, London have launched a Guinness milkshake, combining a half pint of the beloved stout with cream, chocolate and cake. Pic: Licky Plate/ Instagram They advised: 'We might suggest sharing it between two people as we were ultimately defeated by the cake, but if you love your Guinness you just know you're going to have to give this a try.' Social media users have had their say on the wacky shake with one person branding it 'absolutely criminal,' and another noting you 'would be arrested in Ireland for that.' Others were more on board with the idea with someone commenting on a review that they 'need to try this place just wow.' Would you try the Guinness Milkshake?

Actor Emmett J Scanlan, former soccer star Robbie Keane, Westlife star Nicky Byrne, singer Dermot Kennedy and soccer manager John O'Shea are flying the flag for the Irish on Sunday as they join a star-studded list of celebrities and football legends for Soccer Aid. The charity football match takes place at Old Trafford, Manchester on Sunday evening with kick-off at 7.30pm.

Pic: Dermot Kennedy/ Instagram England face the World XI, who were previously known as the Rest of the World and have a record of seven wins over England's six. Coverage of the event gets underway from 6pm via ITV1 with Dermot O'Leary and Alex Scott on hosting duties for the exciting evening. Tickets are still available to purchase via the Soccer Aid website with a range of different prices starting from £20 (€23) for an adult and £10 for children (€11). Category 4 and Wheelchair Access tickets have sold out for the game. The World XI is being managed by ex-Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel with fellow United legends Edwin van der Sar and Nemanja Vidic on the team. The Irish stars line out for the World XI team alongside former boxer Tony Bellew, actor Richard Gadd, YouTuber Tobi Brown and more. England, who are coached by former soccer player Wayne Rooney and boxing heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, include former Manchester United player Gary Neville, singer Tom Grennan, presenter, actor Paddy McGuinness and singer Louis Tomlinson. Reality star Sam Thompson, who won I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here last year was also set to play for the England side but has since withdrawn. Sam and Louis' appearance on the same team would have been an interesting watch following reports that the former One Direction singer is romantically involved with Sam's ex-girlfriend, Zara Thompson.
