New venues and exciting transformations…

The Network expands: Cahoots Postal Office comes to Borough!

October saw the launch of the Cahoots: Postal Office, the latest outpost of the Cahoots’ Scoundrels Network. Located on Stoney Street, the two floored venue is our more immersive and interactive yet, inspired by the postal service. One of the main focal points is the ‘Air Mail’ pneumatic tube system. A world first installation, that sees cocktails whizzing overhead as they are delivered to guests from the bar to tables, through a series of air-powered tubes. Further feasts for the yes include suspicious rattling parcels, a shaking crate suspended overhead, moving carrier pigeons and flickering lights, in line with trains going overhead.
On the mezzanine level, guests find The Dead Letter Depot: a treasure trove of precious mail that never reached its intended destination. Undelivered parcels and packages wrap the curved walls of the old rail arch, and anyone who dares to lay hands on the most highly valued loot will trigger the Cahoots anti-theft deterrent alarm system! Nestled amongst forgotten cargo and eclectic artefacts, guests can take a break in the Tea Corner, where repurposed telephone switchboards can be used to listen in on tantalising 1946 gossip and top secret dispatches. Cocktails take inspiration for the postal service too, with vessels ranging from a cat shaped tea pot, not as postie’s enemy the dog of course, and miniature parcels.

Cahoots Ticket Hall transforms into a 1940s-style Pub

On 17th June, we transformed Cahoots Ticket Hall into Ticket Hall Pub, an ode to a classic 1940s London pub following our success with the pub model with the Mr Fogg’s family, including Mr Fogg’s Tavern on St Martin’s Lane, Mr Fogg’s Hat Tavern in Soho and Mr Fogg’s City Tavern near Liverpool Street. Serving up a curated collection of black-market hooch, draught beers and pale ales, iconic Cahoots cocktails, wines and spirits, alongside a food menu of pub classics and small plates, available from lunch time every day. Embracing the lively atmosphere of a 1940s British pub, this ticket hall-turned boozer is available to book until 5pm, before becoming walk-in only, apart from large groups. Period features, capturing the essence of London spirit and swing whilst retelling the disused station theming that Cahoots is known for, include a tartan carpet with matching wallpaper, wood panelling and a jukebox, operated by coins on the bar. The space also includes a large outdoor terrace.

Mr Fogg’s House of Botanicals revamped into a Botanical Tavern

Newman Street’s House of Botanicals was reopened in September as Mr Fogg’s Botanical Tavern and Treehouse, using the same the formula as Hat Tavern & Gin Club and Tavern & Gin Parlour. The downstairs tavern now opens from 12pm, serving lunch, pints, punches and expertly crafted cocktails in the heart of London’s Fitzrovia. Furthermore, a Bloomin’ Roast with all the trimmings has now been added to the food offering alongside Saturday’s popular Botanical Brunch.
