Mr Fogg's Hat Tavern

The full venue hire combines two unique spaces across two storeys on Great Chapel Street, opposite Henry Heath's former hat factory. The ground-floor Hat Tavern and the downstairs Saloon together create a haven for private parties, each with its own character. Throughout, an extraordinary collection of millinery is on display, from bright-coloured bonnets and flamboyant fascinators to towering top hats. The spaces feature reclaimed period timber panelling, bronze-effect ceilings, warm lighting and vintage portraits, alongside long service bars, poseur tables and banquette seating. PA systems, Wi-Fi and air conditioning are installed throughout, and you may play your own music or bring a DJ. The venue suits groups seeking a relaxed, social standing reception or an informal, seated gathering in a characterful, well-dressed interior.

The Hat Tavern is the ground-floor private bar, defined by reclaimed period timber panelling that gives the room strong historical character. A low bronze-effect ceiling, timber floorboards and a mix of framed vintage portraits and hanging antiques create an intimate, old-world interior. Warm, focused lighting and a rear banquette that forms a quieter nook separate from the main area add to the atmosphere. A long service bar, poseur tables and rear banquet seating accommodate different group configurations. The space includes an in-house drinks menu covering ales, cocktails and spirits plus light food, a PA system and speakers for your own music or a DJ, Wi-Fi, air conditioning and direct natural light. It suits small groups of friends or colleagues seeking a relaxed, social standing reception or an informal, seated meal in a characterful, well-dressed setting.
