As per the dying wishes of Aunt Gertrude the doors to Mr Fogg’s Tavern opened to all on Monday 19th October.
Fanny McGee, Aunt Gertrude’s life-long housekeeper, has worked night and day to ensure the tavern on St Martin’s Lane is restored to a level befitting her late, great housekeeper. See the transformation in the pictures below.
Read about it here in the London Evening Standard.
Beginning on Sunday, 25th October, guests will be whisked away from the hustle and bustle up above, to a tranquil garden party down below, complete with wicker picnic hampers filled with delightfully British cuisine and cocktails circa 1946. The hampers are filled to the brim with a selection of ration-inspired sandwiches including cucumber, smoked salmon and cream cheese, salt beef and horseradish and jam. For sustenance, the hampers will also come with a homemade pork pie, boiled eggs, and a selection of British cheese with Quince jelly. For dessert, the hamper will be filled with an indulgent homemade tiffin, sweet lavender shortbread and Victoria sponge cake along with a traditional British sweet selection to polish off the cocktails with.

A rather marvelous video of the one-and-only Fanny McGee, our effervescent landlady, prowling London delivering invites for the soft-launch of Mr Fogg’s Tavern.
It will be open to all on Monday 19th October. For more information check out the new website: mr-foggs.com/tavern
On Thursday 1st October Mr Fogg’s upped sticks to create a pop-up bar at Battersea Power Station. The transformation of Battersea Power Station, a familiar and much-loved silhouette on the London skyline aims to create a regeneration and revitalisation of a forgotten corner of London. We were joined on the evening by Bear Grylls for a Q & A session about the upcoming development. He stated ‘we were attracted to Battersea Power Station because it was a chance to own a bit of history that we could pass down through the family’.

We were delighted to have Mr Fogg’s providing cocktails for the launch of Jaeger-Le-Coultre’s newest watch this October. For those of you that know the story of ‘Phileas Fogg’ and ‘Around the World in 80 days’ you will know how important time was to him so it’s a very appropriate fit.
