  “You are enveloped by a unique feeling of cosy opulence when you enter this tavern. Creatively decorated throughout. Staff behind the bar were a little surly, but maybe that was just me! Great selection of drinks and liked the branded glasses. This pub has an identity of its own which is evident from the outside.”

  “From the moment I walked in with friends we said wow! The decor is beautiful. Very cute and quirky venue, I have been to several bottomless brunches and this one has made it to my top 5. I loved the bellini shots to add to our prosecco and the prosecco served in China tea pots. The club sandwich was tasty, the brownie could have been better. Atmosphere was great and the prosecco was flowing, which is a must for bottomless brunch. No one wants to be waiting for a top up! Great location for us to make out theatre performance after. I will be back.”

  “Stunning looking pub with lots of space, it's more like a premium space, not overcrowded like many places, service is fantastic too: attentive and they clean from tables all the time. All those garden elements and decorations are unique, even in London and with a great location I can imagine this I place might get busy. I'd highly recommend visiting toilets too, corridors and stairs look like taken from historic movie set. I haven't taken pics thou, something to do on my next visit. They don't serve Guinness zero, and got limited zero options. In a world where alcoholic drinks see a decline in sales, this is unfortunate. I haven't noticed any mocktails either. Other than that, come in and get some quality time.”

  “Don’t give this place your business. Go to The Blue Posts just down the road - or anywhere else! Yesterday was my first time at this venue. It was also my last at any Fogg’s Tavern. I was invited there by my agent & I initially liked the venue, if a little bit sickly sweet. However that changed when my agent went to the bar a couple of hours in and was refused service. We were both baffled. I went back and enquired as to the reason. The bar staff apologised, looked embarrassed, and said we needed to speak to the manager. Emily, the American (or possibly Canadian) accented manager told me, and I quote, ‘we’ve just noticed you have had two bottles of Prosecco’. I was again baffled and replied that I’d noticed that too considering we’d bought them there and had consumed them over a two and half hour period. Having both eaten before hand and confident that the intoxication was at an easily manageable & not disruptive level I tried to get an explanation. Hannah informed me, and again I quote, that ‘This conversation was no longer productive’. I was so stunned by the corporate slop/ management speak in a bar that I was not sure what to do. I remained calm and made every effort to get clarity, despite my agent being devastated by the insinuation & both of us deeply insulted. To clarify it was 9:15pm & the place was barely 10-20% full. We were made to feel like drooling drunks & I can only assume Hannah is not quite aware of British drinking culture vs that in the US. When we were told we had been loud, my attempts to explain that it was in response to a large group of loud customers (whom Hannah had declined to accost), were ignored. The shutters were already down. I hope she finds a job she likes, possibly in a correctional facility or a debt collection agency as this one does not seem to suit her skill set. Spend your money elsewhere.”

  “Really enjoyed it, nothing too much for the very welcoming staff. Check out the cocktail bar open in evening looks great. Returned for a 4th visit, definitely one of our favourite watering holes.”

  “Different, designed like an aviary. Was a quick stop on a pub hop. We were greeted well and seated immediately. Also we were informed by the host that the upstairs seating was better. Limited local beers.”

  “We visited for cocktails at 4 PM. While the bar is definitely a hit on Instagram and my daughter really liked the look it didn't quite work for me. The 'botanical' decor is entirely made of plastic plants, which felt a bit artificial and 'more style than substance.' The prices are very high, and despite the strict booking-only policy, the place was nearly empty during our visit, which took away from the atmosphere. It’s a great spot if you’re looking for a specific photo backdrop, but if you prefer authentic charm and good value, you might find better options nearby. An interesting experience, but one visit was enough for me.”

  “Came here for my friends birthday for brunch. The service was wonderful, staff were very attentive, so accommodating and friendly. Food was lovely all came out together. The drinks were lovely they were very stick though so some wipes or something would have been a nice thought. The staff brought us the most incredible shots and a special drink for the birthday girl and yeah they tasted incredible, it was a lovely touch. My only issue is the seating we had was quite high like bar stools and it was tight to get up and down and in and out which made it difficult at times and the music was loud so hard to hear sometimes.. If I was comfortable it would have been 5 stars”

  “We had the absolute best time at Mr. Foggs for my bachelorette (hen) party! I was able to make the reservation in advance with no issue and reserved for a party of 8. We arrived just after the restaurnat openend at noon, and wow, it was so much less chaotic than I was expecting given how popular this place is on Instagram. My friends and family LOVED the atmosphere, and Jules in particular, took great care of us and even let us look around upstairs and take photos! I had the burger, and it was delicious. We all loved the cocktails and the food we ordered. This was a super special occasion, and I'm so happy we chose the botanical tavern. It was great that my 13-year-old cousins could attend as well, and they had fun ordering mocktails. Thank you again to all the staff, especially Jules, for making this such a memorable day.”
