Bar and restaurant operator creates over 200 jobs at London venue

Mission Mars has announced that London will be the next home for its Alpine Cook Haus and Bavarian Bier Palace, Albert’s Schloss.

Setting its sights on a grand opening next spring, the hospitality and entertainment experts will give the Jungle Cave site (formerly Rainforest Café) a bohemian makeover. The Shaftesbury Avenue venue will be the fourth Albert’s Schloss in the UK, plus the first for the South of England.

Albert’s Schloss venues currently operate in Manchester (pictured), Birmingham and most recently Liverpool.

Roy Ellis, CEO of Mission Mars, said: “It’s a stunning 18,000sq ft space in the famous Trocadero in the heart of the West End. The Trocadero has a long and rich history of hosting world renowned restaurants, bars and theatres.

“Ludwig’s Tavern, our Alpine inspired chalet, is a tribute to ‘Mad King Ludwig’ of Bavaria and is filled with whimsical design elements as well as roaring fires, shuffleboard and other tavern games. As in other cities, Schloss will recruit the best artistic talent available and offer totally unique and unlike anywhere else entertainment seven days a week.”

Close to Piccadilly Circus, the new London venue will create 200 jobs across the board once it opens in spring 2024, including managers, chefs, bartenders, servers and hosts. The entertainment venue will also be a new home to over 100 freelance artists, with headline events including the Kunst Kabaret, Baby Grand Slam and Friday Frolich.
