"None other than Mr Fogg's Tavern is set to open in The Crusting Pipe's former site. When the new bar opens this summer it will be the 11th Mr Fogg's venue in London. So, what has Fogg's got planned for the place? Alongside a 65-seat courtyard, the interior boasts 4,500 square feet of space with room for 130 guests. It will become Mr Fogg's flagship venue."
"Charlie Gilkes, co-founder of Mr Fogg's, said the new venue would bring something 'historically interesting' and 'unapologetically British' to the heart of Covent Garden. Co-founder Duncan Stirling added: 'Covent Garden is such an incredible destination for tourists, both domestic and international, as well as Londoners alike. There is so much fun we can have around the world famous market, opera house and theatrical heartland on our doorstep.'"
The Crusting Pipe wine bar in Covent Garden closed permanently on December 21 after 45 years, with Davy's citing changing trading environments and consumer habits.

The venue will offer 4,500 square feet of interior space for 130 guests and a 65-seat courtyard. Co-founder Charlie Gilkes described the venue as 'historically interesting' and 'unapologetically British'. Co-founder Duncan Stirling emphasized Covent Garden's appeal to tourists and Londoners and the opportunities near the market, opera house and theatres.
