We’re very excited to announce a new interactive multi-game experience from Monday 20th April, tucked beneath Mr Fogg’s City Tavern in the heart of Broadgate Circle! Mr Fogg’s Games Parlour is a Victorian-inspired competitive socialising concept in London, where groups gather, rivalries form, and only one player can be crowned Top Fogg. To celebrate the opening, Mr Fogg has waived the usual £10pp game fee until the end of June! Bookings now available here.

A Victorian Parlour Reimagined for Modern Competition

Descend to the lower ground floor of Mr Fogg’s City Tavern and step into a richly detailed world of characterful booths, warm lamplight and the gentle hum of friendly competition. The Games Parlour is designed for groups looking for something more engaging than a standard night out, a structured yet social experience that unfolds over six rounds of play within 80 minutes, each testing a different combination of accuracy, strategy and skill.

Groups move through each challenge in sequence, with scores tracked on a leaderboard as standings shift and rivalries build. The format is simple: master every game, not just one, and you stand the best chance of taking the title.

Six Games, One Session, Endless Bragging Rights

Drawing on the rich heritage of Victorian pastimes and classic pub games, each of the six rounds has been reimagined with a signature Mr Fogg’s twist. Expect Bagatelle, Beer Pong, Parlour Quoits, Mini Golf , Darts and Shuffleboard in London, familiar in spirit, but distinctly Fogg’s in execution. With 80 minutes on the clock, every round counts. Scores are kept by hand, competition builds naturally, and by the final challenge, only the most well-rounded player will emerge victorious.

Food, Cocktails & Drinks Delivered to Your Booth

No need to pause the action. Drinks and small plates can be ordered directly to your booth throughout your session, keeping the energy high and the rivalry firmly intact. The menu spans signature punches, adventurous cocktails, spritzes, wines and draught beers, alongside a selection of classic Tavern fare; everything you need to fuel a spirited contest.

Private Hire & Events at The Games Parlour

For those looking to host a private event in the City of London, The Games Parlour offers a distinctive and flexible setting. The full space accommodates up to 80 guests standing, with 24 guests able to play across multiple booths at a time – making it ideal for birthday celebrations, corporate team-building events, and larger group occasions.

With live DJs, karaoke, curated food and drink packages, plus a screen and projector for presentations and bespoke event content, the space adapts effortlessly to both social and professional gatherings.

We’re proud to announce that Inception Group took home two prestigious accolades at the inaugural Party Awards® — Gold for Best New Opening for Bunga 90, and Silver in the Best Bar Group category. The Party Awards®, created by the team at Eureka Events, launched as the first ever awards dedicated to celebrating corporate Christmas and summer parties, the events that, year after year, drive some of the biggest nights in the industry. And for its debut, Inception Group had quite the evening.

The atmosphere was electric, and by the end of the night, we had two awards to show for it. Bunga 90’s Gold win for Best New Opening speaks for itself. In a crowded shortlist of brilliant venues, the team behind London’s most talked-about opening delivered an experience that judges couldn’t overlook. It’s a testament to everyone who has poured their creativity and passion into making Bunga 90 the phenomenon it has become.

Equally, placing Silver in the Best Bar Group category, alongside some of the most established names in the business, reflects the strength of Inception Group as a whole. From Mr Fogg’s to Cahoots, Barts to Control Room B, our venues continue to set the standard for memorable, immersive experiences across London. Congratulations to every single member of the Inception Group team. This one is for you!

This International Women’s Day, we brought together the incredible women of Inception Group for a moment to pause, re-connect and celebrate.

From Head Office to venue leadership, it was a chance to strengthen connections with colleagues we may not see every day and celebrate the people who help shape our company. The day began with a guided wellness session at Breath7, where the team took part in a 30 minute guided meditation followed by a restorative sound bath experience. It was a chance to slow down, reset and focus, something we rarely give ourselves time to do in a fast paced hospitality environment.

Afterwards, everyone gathered at Mr Fogg’s Botanical Tavern & Treehouse for a special team lunch, with a healthy menu curated by our Head of Catering, Michaela featuring fresh salads and desserts, alongside a few celebratory treats. To end this eventful morning, all our female employees also received goodie bags including a bottle of St Germain with miniature bottles from Moët & Chandon and sweet treats from Guylian. Moments like this are a reminder that while our industry moves quickly, taking time to recognise, support and celebrate the women behind it is just as important.

To all the brilliant women across Inception Group and beyond, today we celebrate you. 💛

Let’s celebrate the triumph of creativity with Lucky Red’s, an enchanting cocktail crafted by Robert Capon, Head Bartender at Cahoots Postal Office, Borough.

Inspired by house parties fuelled by red wine and cola, which he later discovered to be Kalimotxo, a traditional Basque drink, Lucky Red’s evolved through Robert’s curiosity and craft. Influenced by the Mexican, Coke- based Batanga, he refined the serve with figs, cherries and cedro liqueur, lifting the wine’s rich dried fruit notes into something playful, nostalgic and beautifully balanced.

To celebrate this winning creation, Lucky Red’s will be featured on menus across all Inception Group venues for one month only (except Maggie’s & Bunga 90), with proceeds donated to a charity close to Robert’s heart. He claimed the crown in the annual Inception Group cocktail competition, proudly sponsored by Bacardi and Tequila Patrón, showcasing exceptional innovation, technical skill, and storytelling through flavour. His winning serve sets a new benchmark for mixology across the group!

At Inception Group, recognising talent and investing in our staff is at the heart of everything we do. This January, that belief came to life in the most extraordinary way.

Following our annual internal bartenders’ competition, sponsored by Bacardi and Patrón Tequila, 2025’s winner Robert Capon from Cahoots Postal Office was rewarded with an all expenses paid trip to Hacienda Patrón – to experience the craftsmanship, culture, and heritage behind some of the world’s most iconic spirits.

Joined by our Head of Learning & Development, Lee, the trip was nothing short of unforgettable. From exploring Ilegal Mezcal in Oaxaca, to immersing themselves in the energy of Guadalajara, and spending two incredible days at Hacienda Patrón, the experience was packed with once in a lifetime moments and industry insight.

Beyond the destinations, what truly made the trip special was the shared experience. Bringing together passionate hospitality professionals, learning from global partners, and celebrating excellence as a group is exactly what we strive for as a business.

We kicked off the new year to thank all of our teams for a brilliant 2025 with a belated Christmas Party at our latest Inception venue, Bunga 90.

For one night, all of our venues closed their doors so that the entire company, from support office teams to bartenders and floor staff, could come together and celebrate the hard work, dedication and passion that went into making 2025 such a success. A brilliant agency came in to ensure cocktails and food flowed all night. There was a constant queue at the candy floss, popcorn, face painting and caricature stations tapping in to everyones nostalgia. True to the theme, the night was a full blown 90s throwback. From the Matrix to Britney and double denim everywhere, there were some truly impressive costumes as the “Spice Girls” performed on stage before people belted out karaoke.

What nights like this really celebrate, though, are our people. The teamwork behind the scenes, the passion behind the bar and the shared commitment to creating unique and memorable experiences day in, day out. As we move into the year ahead, we do so energised, with big ideas for another truly exciting year!
