  • Inn Good Company With Florence Houston

    £20.00 per person

    We're thrilled to announce the next chapter of our Inn Good Company series at The Walmer Castle, featuring the remarkable London-based artist Florence Houston in conversation with the brilliant Olivia Paterson, Director of Lynsey Ingram Gallery and curator of our very own art collection. The talk will discuss Florence’s remarkable paintings, one of which, Berry Demon, is in the Walmer Castle Art Collection. Florence trained for four years at Charles H. Cecil in Florence, Italy, where she honed her technique in oil painting with a focus on portraiture. She paints nostalgic and familiar objects, exploring their conflicting characteristics and society's preconceived views of them. Florence started painting jellies in 2021, inspired by illustrations of ornate Victorian jellies and childhood memories of eating them from paper plates. She’s drawn to their ability to be simultaneously beautiful and grotesque. The evening will begin with arrival drinks from 7pm in the Lonsdale Room, followed by the talk and Q&A from 7:30 to 8:30pm. Tickets: £20, including a welcome drink

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Walmer Castle offers a "lovely chicken Sunday roast" and an "excellent selection of wines." Guests appreciate the "amazing service," "warm welcome," and "great atmosphere." The seafood dish could use more seafood, but the "fish and chips were great," and desserts like the "sticky toffee pudding" are a highlight.

    We had dinner here a year ago and it fabulous. However, we cannot say the same when we had lunch there yesterday. Seriously gone downhill. Food was poor and very overpriced for what we got. Service was abysmal. Every time we ordered drinks, we waited ages for their arrival but they never appeared. Staff had to be reminded repeatedly. Shoddy service and a significant decline in the standard of food.

    Pub had good vibe, it was busy but staff were on it and attentive. Fish and chips were great the batter simply melted in your mouth.

    For lunch on Monday 28th April, we had the seafood dish with what tasted like a strange grain (not described on the menu) which turned out to be durum wheat semolina, a Sardinian pasta. The problem was that there was more of this semolina than the actual seafood, so it filled out the dish. Taste was not good, drowning what little there was of the seafood. The point is if I had known it was pasta, I would not have selected it as I don't tend to eat pasta dishes.

    The bar isn’t very varied in beer or cider choices but the food is incredible! The service was accurate and prompt, the food simply exquisite. We didn’t have time for dessert but we’ll definitely come back. Will 100% recommend.

    Average burger - not asked how we wanted it cooked and it was over cooked and that sort of compressed meat like a frozen burger. Steak as only average and also over cooked
