The Breakfast Group is set to open a new rum bar, The Plantation on Duke Street between Mayfair and Marylebone on 1 September.

Signature cocktails will include Mary’s Pickled, Grasshopper Deluxe and Daiquiris made with sugar, hand-pressed on site for extra zing.
Bar snacks and small plates are designed to complement each cocktail. The site will serve up regional delicacies such as Edible Grasshoppers, Brazilian Cheese Buns and Molasses Glazed Pork Ribs.
