The Fox Hole named a finalist for Cocktail List of the Year

The Cocktail List of the Year category recognises venues that demonstrate a clear point of view, technical execution and consistency across their drinks offering. Lists are assessed on their structure, balance and the extent to which they present a cohesive and considered experience.

At The Fox Hole, the cocktail programme is built around narrative and structure. The current menu, A Tale in Three Acts, draws on the golden age of 1930s London and is organised into distinct sections that guide guests through bold, expressive and classic styles.

Each cocktail is designed to balance flavour, story and presentation, reinforcing the venue’s broader approach to hospitality where every element contributes to the overall guest experience.

Only four finalists were recognised nationally in this category, placing The Fox Hole among a small group of venues acknowledged for excellence in cocktail programme design.

James Harvey-Fiander, Group Managing Director of The Talesbridge Collection, said the recognition reflects the team’s commitment to building a considered and evolving drinks offering.

“We’ve been very deliberate in how we’ve shaped our cocktail programme. It’s not just about individual drinks, but how the list works as a whole — how it guides the guest, tells a story, and creates a sense of occasion.

To be recognised as one of four finalists nationally is incredibly meaningful for the team, and a reflection of the care and thought that goes into what we do every day.”
