On the 15th of January 2018, all members of Inception Group were invited down to our newest venue Bunga Bunga Covent Garden for The Inception Group Company Conference 2018! Reflecting on a brilliant 2017, we discussed plans for the upcoming year, alongside some interesting motivational activities. Engaging in a group-wide Mexican wave, a 9am ‘Bunga Bunga’ dance and an incredible lesson on Ghanaian drumming, it was quite the day! It’s safe to say, when 150 people are up doing a Conga line by 11am, it’s been a successful day for company morale…

On January 3rd, we traded in the cold for a Hawaiin themed Christmas party at tropical themed nightclub, Mahiki Kensington. With live music, magician, and face-painter, alongside delicious canapés and lip-smackingly good cocktails, the ‘Inceptionauts’ were able to pat themselves on the back and let their ‘beach-waved hair’ down after the madness of Christmas and New Year!

Following Cahoots first birthday party on board the HMS BELFAST, we invited scoundrels down to Cahoots’ Black Market, a secret hideaway for all of London’s illicit dealings hidden under the vaults of Waterloo Station.
Upon arrival guests were greeted with a Veuve Clicquot champagne reception followed by heady libations of Grey Goose, Jack Daniels and Bombay Sapphire flowing through the night and Fentimans soft drinks, Whitsable Bay Blonde Lager and Bay Pale Ale on hand to steady those wobbly knees. Food was served in mess tins, as well as must have Midnight rations, filled with; fish fingers, finger sandwiches and British favorites sausage rolls.
Each tunnel lead to into a different world of 40’s frolics, from the vintage speakeasy “coffee” shop, the Moonshine Brothers Saloon, the Black Market and finally the rip roaring Blitz Room, which all served an array of Cahoots cocktails, withall night long entertainment, from the brass band, The Hotsie Totsies, swing dancers and late night retro DJ sets.
A huge thank you to all who helped create the Cahoots Underground Knees Up!

On the 3rd of October, the top nominees for the National Pizza Awards arrived anxiously at Islington Metal Works, North London ready to show exactly what they were made of. Among these was our very own head chef at Bunga Bunga Battersea, Pedro Tavares. Chosen from thousands of applications we were more ‘hungry’ than ever to claim the title of Best Pizza in the UK. Against some excellent and well-deserving competition, we narrowly missed the title, but fell well into the top 10 pizzas in the UK.
Our winning slice? ‘Lento Spiedo’, topped with Fior di latte mozzarella, tomato sauce, slow-cooked lamb, tomato, fresh chilli and dried prunes.
