We recently had the pleasure of visiting the Guinness Open Gate Brewery, right here in Covent Garden, and what an experience. 🍻
Greeted with a Guinness shot on arrival (the perfect welcome), we were taken on a journey through centuries of brewing history. The brewery stands on the site of Combe & Co., an 18th-century brewing powerhouse that was at the centre of Covent Garden’s booming porter district, a revolution that played an integral role in the Guinness story as we know it today.
From the immersive tour of the brewing factory to learning the craft behind their range of IPAs, every detail was thoughtfully brought to life. And to top it all off? We got to pour our own Guinness at the end. 🙌
A huge thank you to the team for having us, we left inspired, informed, and maybe just a little full of Guinness. We’ll be back! 👏

A huge congratulations to Jack Watson, our GM at Cahoots, who completed his second London Marathon! 🏃🎉
Jack ran in support of Kelly’s Cause Foundation, our mental health partner and a truly incredible organisation. Kelly’s Cause provides tools and training to help hospitality businesses better support mental health in the workplace, and it’s work we’re incredibly proud to champion.
Every pound Jack raised will help subsidise this vital training for businesses that might not otherwise be able to access it. We couldn’t be prouder, Jack, an amazing achievement for an amazing cause. 👏
