Harden's says
Once housing a Thai restaurant, and more recently owned by Guy Ritchie and David Beckham, this former boozer was taken over by Mahiki founder Piers Adam and re-opened as a "restaurant, cocktail and whisky bar" in 2022, in collaboration with The Craigellachie Hotel in Speyside.
Harden's survey result
Summary
A perpetual hit with the minted ne’er-do-wells of Notting Hill, this chichi old boozer changed hands in early 2022. Previously a plaything of Guy Ritchie and David Beckham, its new owner is posh nightclub owner, Piers Adam, owner of Prince Harry’s old favourite, Mahiki. Nowadays billed as ‘in collaboration with The Craigellachie Hotel’ (also owned by Adam), the website promises that ‘The Walmer brings the essence of Speyside to London’ although – cue cynical laughter – this apparently includes such Caledonian specialities as Crispy Monkfish Tacos, Truffled Lobster Macaroni, and Salmon Ceviche. Whether the trustafarians who cram the place will notice anything other than the fun new refurb and more single malts at the bar is debatable.
For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
