Inception Group launches £25,000 bar tab for NHS workers to mark health service's 72nd birthday

Cocktails for heroes: Cahoots Ticket Hall in Soho is among the venues set to offer free drinks

NHS workers will be able to dip into a £25,000 bar tab for a “well-deserved” drink at a number of London venues this weekend — just in time to celebrate the 72nd anniversary of the health service.

As pubs and bars across the capital prepare to reopen for what has been dubbed “Super Saturday”, one hospitality group is saying cheers to health workers for their efforts during the pandemic.

It coincides with the NHS’s 72nd birthday, which will be celebrated on Sunday July 5.

Inception Group — which counts Mr Fogg’s, Cahoots and Barts among its venues — will spread the tab across each of the sites. NHS staff can redeem their free drink by showing their work ID badges.

Charlie Gilkes, co-founder of Inception Group, said: “We want to express our deepest gratitude to NHS workers, who have been the backbone of our country throughout this pandemic, so we are thrilled to announce that they will be welcomed back with open arms into our venues for some extremely well-deserved, and we imagine, much-needed, drinks on us.”

The group’s first venue to open will be Mr Fogg’s Residence in Mayfair, which relaunches on July 4. Mr Fogg’s in The City will follow on July 6, with Mr Fogg’s House of Botanicals in Fitzrovia and Soho’s Cahoots Ticket Hall back in action on July 9.

Other venues in the group’s portfolio will open later this month and throughout the rest of the summer.
