One of Notting Hill’s best loved, landmark pubs, The Walmer Castle is to undergo a beautiful new remodel in the Summer of 2020. This historic pub will of course stay in line with its already discreetly stylish and authentically British vibe, but with a brand-new state of the art Whisky Bar to boast too. The purpose-built bar will be bought to you by team behind the famous Quaich bar in Scotland’s Craigellachie Speyside Hotel, who are also the driving force behind world famous Copper Dog pub group!
The Whisky Bar will be taking a permanent residence upstairs in the pub and is set to provide a truly memorable experience for our guests. If you think you would like to be General Manager of this unique and contemporary concept, then keep reading…
