Maggie’s Pop-Up at The Mini Masters

By News

On Friday 20th July, Maggie’s popped up at golf’s biggest summer party – The Mini Masters! Held at Dukes Meadow Golf Club in Chiswick, the much-anticipated charity event transforms the par-3 course into a golfing fun park filled with cocktails, celebrities, music and more. Maggie’s partnered with Grey Goose to serve deliciously refreshing summer cocktails, including Grey Goose Le Grand Fizz. The cocktails were served from our bright pink pop-up tent, complete with a live DJ, deck chairs, Rubik’s Cube tables and (of course) 80s music! Better still, all proceeds from The Mini Masters go to charity Leuka, which supports life-saving research into the causes and treatment of leukaemia.

 

 

Mr Fogg’s House of Botanicals has bloomed!

By News

Imagine a place filled entirely with flora and fauna collected from all over the world. A place created solely with the adventurous in mind…

We are very excited to announce that the doors to Mr Fogg’s House of Botanicals have officially opened! Located in the heart of Fitzrovia, guests are invited to cast their eyes upon the vast collection of flora and fauna that Mr Fogg acquired on his many trips around the globe. The bright and spacious bar is spread across two floors, serving cocktails and light bites inspired by strange and exotic botanicals and plant life. Featuring ‘The Language of Flowers’ menu, guests can sit back and enjoy botanical-inspired cocktails upstairs by reservation. Or, for those after a more casual tipple, the downstairs welcomes one and all to walk-in and requires no reservations.

Be one of the first to experience Mr Fogg’s House of Botanicals at 48 Newman Street, Fitzrovia!

Bunga Bunga at Queens!

By News

This summer it was game, set, match for Bunga Bunga, as we popped up at the internationally renowned Queens Club. The Bunga Enclosure became the perfect player’s lounge, with an Italian courtyard, miniature tennis tables and of course a good dose of tongue-in-cheek decor. Guests could sit back and relax, in between watching the pros. Partnering with Grey Goose we had a selection of refreshing signature serves, such as the Grey Goose Le Grandissimo Fizz.

Company Conference 2018 – Barcelona

By News

In May 2018, Inception Group’s managers and head office escaped London and boarded the plane to Barcelona for our annual conference trip.

Reflecting on a successful year, we gathered to discuss 2017’s achievements, areas for improvement and our exciting future plans! In true Inception style, the group divided into teams for our annual group challenge, involving a series of team-building tasks around the city while gaining inspiration from Spanish culture. It was certainly a day to remember – from competing in a paella cook-off at The Paella Club, to searching for a mystery door hidden in the back-streets of Barcelona!

After two days packed with adventurous, memorable and motivational activities, the company trip was the perfect way to share key messages and bring colleagues together from different departments and venues.

Three new Mr Fogg’s bars to open in 2018

By News

It’s a very exciting year for Inception Group as we prepare to double the amount of venues currently under the Fogg’s brand, with three opening this year alone. The first, ‘blooming’ around June, is Mr Fogg’s House of Botanicals – a bright, spacious bar, bedecked in flora and fauna and housing Mr Fogg’s vast collection of botanicals acquired on his many trips around the globe.

The second will be opening its doors around September in the heart of the City, in Broadgate Circle, Liverpool Street. It will be a twist on the Mr Fogg’s brand, called Mrs Fogg’s, and is a tribute to Mr Fogg’s wife Aouda who originated from India. The venue will incorporate touches of India, reflecting the culture both in its decor and in its menu; the bar will also serve delicious Indian small plates.

Then, in autumn, the exciting and highly experiential Mr Fogg’s Society of Exploration will be opening in Bedford Street, Charing Cross – near the location where Mr Fogg initially set off on his journey around the world in 80 days. The Society of Exploration will be exactly that – a venue dedicated to exploring. It will focus on travel, housing a Map Room where guests can plan both short and long trips. It will also be taking guests on an exploration of the senses, with an exciting and unique drinks menu. And, hints of the impending industrial revolution will be largely prominent in the venue, with automated contraptions and an incredible cocktail creating machine.
