Historical 82/100 and high confidence retained. This source check qualifies attribution without recalculating the proprietary score or establishing a representative current customer sample.
Score context
Lauren Bowes’s feature, first published in May 2025 and posted online on 16 July, describes Foco’s twists on classic cocktails and interviews its founders. Sam Bygrave’s March 2026 introduction is also positive, but the rest of that interview is partly paywalled. These are critic and operator perspectives. Visit dates remain unconfirmed.

First-person visit and Theo Quinn/Tom Godfrey interview. The source explicitly says it first appeared in the May 2025 magazine; 16 July dates its web publication, not the visit. No current-menu assertion.
