  Co-Founder

  The Rum Kitchen is 'a Caribbean inspired beach shack restaurant and cocktail bar' nestled in the heart of Notting Hill. The space showcases the vibrant spirit of the West Indies and holds a hidden cellar housing over 100 varieties of rum.Beats are supplied by ‘DJ Fast’ from The Fun Lovin’ Criminals and reggae collective ‘Reggae Roast’. Expect everything from Reggae to Latin & Calypso to Afro-funk. You can expect the Caribbean classics such as Jerk Chicken and Curried Mutton from Head chef Darren Williamson with some more modern takes like roast cod in coconut milk and scotch bonnet to his admired scallop ceviche. All complimented deliciously when consumed with liberal lashing of rum.www.therumkitchen.com Show less
