Josh Eggleton to open Salt and Malt
Chew Valley Lake Tea Shop is the location of the long-awaited second restaurant from chef Josh Eggleton of the Michelin-starred Pony & Trap.
Salt & Malt promises to be a “tearoom and fish cafe”, with gradual changes to the current business taking place this year and a grand opening planned for next summer.
It is a venture between Eggleton, his father Chris and Jerry Khoshtaghaza of Crispies in Whitchurch and Brislington, where Eggleton Jnr experienced his first taste of working in the food industry.
is needed now More than ever
Salt & Malt’s menu is set to include fresh seafood including whole grilled plaice, traditional fish and chips, and half a pint of fresh prawns.
Eggleton said: “We have plans to extend the opening hours and create a family friendly dining room, whilst working within the parameters of what is already running in the tearooms, just bringing a fresh dining experience to suit the location.
“I’ve always loved fish and chips as it’s where I started my career.”
