Public House Group plans multi-floor revival of Mayfair townhouse
The Grade II-listed building at 8 Carlos Place in Mayfair has a storied past as fashion designer Roland Mouret’s London flagship store and HQ. After Mouret’s company went into administration in 2021, the site was licensed for a restaurant and bar by House of Louie and Bambini operator Paris Society, though the venue never opened. Westminster City Council has granted Public House Group Limited planning permission and listed building consent for a major refit, covering space from the basement to the fourth floor. The proposed works include a second-floor commercial kitchen, new back-of-house areas and toilets, layout changes across several levels, and a new kitchen extraction duct. A lift in an existing shaft and separate service lifts, built-in furniture and joinery, and additional back-of-house fixtures are also planned. The scheme would enable several offers under one roof, mirroring the group’s Notting Hill venues. Public House Group was formed by James Gummer, Olivier van Themsche and Phil Winser after opening The Pelican in Notting Hill in 2022. Its portfolio includes The Fat Badger and Canteen in Notting Hill, The Hero in Maida Vale, The Hart in Marylebone and The Bull in Charlbury, with The Walmer Castle in Notting Hill added in October after acquisition by investor BNF Hospitality. The group's expansion timeline also saw CeCe’s open in Notting Hill in March and The Horses launch in Clerkenwell in September. Source: The Morning Advertiser
