24/1/13 - Updated with menu details.
He's a man who's made the headlines recently, but now Claude Bosi's back with a new pub that he's pulling together with his brother Cedric.
The pair previously successfully took over the Fox & Grapes in Wimbledon, and have now moved a little northwards to Fulham Broadway, where they'll be aiming to have the same success with The Malt House.
This time, they'll be aiming for "modern British pub food" but Fulhamites can expect a stamp of quality as Bosi has enlisted Marcus McGuinness, the former Head Chef of Hibiscus (Bosi's two Michelin starred restaurant in Mayfair), to take over the revamped pub.
The menu includes...
- Starters
- Rabbit Liver Parfait, Caper & Raisin Puree, Crispy Malt loaf (£8.00);
- Pressed Terrine of Label Anglais Chicken, Mango Salad, Curried Mayonnaise (£9.50);
- Warm Mussel & Ginger Broth, Winter Vegetables (£7.00) - Mains
- Beef Short Rib in Toasted Brioche Bun, Pickled Red Cabbage, Horseradish Sauce (£18);
- Traditional Hot Pot of Elwy Valley Mutton & Apricot (£14.50);
- Poached Cornish Cod, Black Grapes, Verjus Buerre Blanc (£18);
- Cumbrian Rib of Beef cooked in Hay, Hollandaise for 2 people (£52.00);
- Bavette of Cumbrian Beef Toasted in Hay, 250g (£17.50) - Desserts
- Baked Rice Pudding, Pineapple & Molasses (£7);
- Blood Orange & Thyme Polenta Cake (£8);
- Yorkshire Rhubarb & Cardamom Trifle (£7.50)
Plus there's a 40 day aged black beef burger (£14.50) and a set lunch (2 Courses £17.50, 3 Courses £19.50) alongside the mandatory pub Sunday lunch as well as bar snacks like Welsh Rarebit with rhubarb chutney and Smoked & Pickled Bantam Eggs.
The pub will open for breakfast too and also has eight rooms to stay in upstairs if you have a slightly larger session than you were intending.
The revamped Malt House will reopen on January 28 at 17 Vanston Place London SW6 1AY.
