A New Adventure Arrives In Covent Garden
Having spent many years exploring bustling markets and trading posts across the globe, Mr Fogg has finally arrived at one of London’s most renowned markets. Opening on 20th July, The Market Tavern is his latest adventure, inspired by the Victorian traders and merchants who once filled these market halls.
Set within the historic Covent Garden Market Building itself, at the heart of the famous Covent Garden piazza, guests will discover a richly atmospheric retreat of original brickwork arches, flagstone floors, cosy booths and hidden nooks.
Wander through characterful spaces adorned with curious artefacts gathered from afar, before emerging onto the vibrant covered Courtyard Terrace. Whether joining us for long lunches, casual pre-theatre dining, post-show drinks or an evening of spirited revelry, the new Market Tavern offers a distinctly Victorian tavern experience in one of London’s most celebrated settings.
Pints, Punches & Proper Tavern Fare
Pull up a stool, settle into a cosy booth or gather with friends over a hearty feast. Alongside a fine selection of pints, curious cocktails and refreshing punches, guests can enjoy a menu of traditional British pub food in Covent Garden, from casual lunches to pre-theatre dining and evening suppers.
Keep an eye on the Guinness Counter as it climbs ever higher with each pint poured, before tucking into beer-battered fish and chips, indulgent smash burgers and small plates made for sharing. Whether you’re searching for pubs in Covent Garden for a quick bite, after-work drinks or a memorable evening out, The Market Tavern offers a lively setting in the heart of the famous market.
The Guinness Saloon
Tucked away within The Market Tavern lies The Guinness Saloon, a cosy space offering a signature Guinness bar in Covent Garden celebrating one of the world’s most iconic pours. Order a pint and watch the live Guinness Counter climb ever higher as it tracks every Guinness served since opening day.
Those lucky enough to order every 1,000th pint will earn a place on Mr Fogg’s Wall of Fame and enjoy a complimentary round on the house. Reach the coveted 10,000th pint and an extraordinary reward awaits: an all-expenses-paid trip to Ireland to visit the famous Guinness brewery itself.
Whether you’re a devoted Guinness enthusiast searching for the perfect pint in Covent Garden or simply partial to a perfectly poured Guinness, there’s history waiting to be made with every order.
