[Vwoolf] A Google Alert: promoting The Bloomsbury Club bar...

[Neverow, Vara S.]

Greetings,
This interview appeared on the Glass of Bubbly.com webpage (an alert from Google, as noted). I've provided a snippet (with some passages in bold for the more eye-catching statements):

“The development of our new menu took over 12 months. We began by developing our concept, we wanted to expand on our previous menu which was themed around Tarot, the fates and mystic beliefs. So, this new menu is an evolution of those beliefs. It was also important that the menu concept have links to The Bloomsbury Set which was a collection of Artists, Poets and Writers in the early 1900’s. They lived in Bloomsbury Square just metres away from the hotel and from whom the Club Bar takes its inspiration.

In our research for the new menu, we discovered the Ancient Egyptian Philosophy that if you delve deep into someone’s psyche then you will discover hidden truths, secrets and desires. This was the evolution of the previous menu. The link to the Bloomsbury Set was found through George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon. Lord Carnarvon was the chief financier of Howard Carter’s discovery and excavation of King Tutankhamun’s tomb. Lord Carnarvon’s sister was married to Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell’s stepbrother so they shared many of the same social circles.
