Inception to open third Mr Fogg's Tavern

London operator Inception Group has announced plans to convert Mrs Fogg’s Dockside Drinkery and Distillery in Liverpool Street into Mr Fogg’s City Tavern.

The decision comes off the back of the success of the original Mr Fogg’s Tavern on St Martins Lane, which opened in 2015, and the recently opened Mr Fogg’s Hat Tavern in Soho. 

Following customer feedback, Inception says it has been clear there is a real demand for more of a tavern-like experience. The transformation from Mrs Fogg’s to Mr Fogg’s City Tavern will include a revamp of the outdoor terrace area and all internal sections of the building. 

"Our Mr Fogg’s Tavern model has been a huge success and is a simple formula for our customers to understand," says Charlie Gilkes, co-founder of Inception Group. "We create accessible, eclectic, Victorian-inspired taverns on the ground floor, serving pub classics alongside a high quality cocktail offer and then we produce a more premium Mr Fogg’s ‘discovery’ concept housed elsewhere within the site. We are currently putting the finishing touches to a really exciting idea for the lower ground floor space of Mr Fogg’s City Tavern which we can’t wait to announce soon." 

A new saloon bar space will be created alongside a classic Victorian tavern, featuring traditional artefacts from the period. Building works start at the end of December and the new Mr Fogg’s incarnation will open on 18 January 2024.
