MELT – a huge hit at London’s Spitalfields since it opened two years ago – has joined the streetfood traders at St James’ STACK in Newcastle.
Home to grilled cheese sandwiches featuring delicious sourdough and artisan cheeses, MELT has launched its second permanent site at the venue.
Sandwiches come with their own dipping sauce and range from The Eastender – featuring MELT’s signature cheddar blend, chives and chilli jam and served with a tomato and basil soup dunk pot – to The Melt – comprising cherry bourbon barbeque beef brisket, the MELT cheddar blend and spring onion, and served with a beef drip gravy dunk pot. Meanwhile, The Jimmy is filled with crispy chicken buffalo tenders, MELT cheddar mix and pickles, and comes with a ranch dunk pot.
Tom Pepper, the founder of MELT, said: “We’ve done phenomenally well since we opened in London and at various festivals and pop-up events so we thought it was time we found a second permanent site and STACK – and the North East – fit the bill perfectly.
“We think what we offer is perfect for the STACK brand – hearty sandwiches served in a really vibrant environment and somewhere with real character. We believe the people of the North East will love MELT – comfort food at its finest.”
Gemma Dishman, project development director for STACK, added: “We’re thrilled to welcome MELT to St James’ STACK. The bold, indulgent take on grilled cheese is the perfect fit for our food lineup, and we know it’s going to be a real crowd-pleaser. STACK has quickly established itself as one of the region’s go-to destinations for great food, drink, and entertainment – and MELT’s arrival only strengthens that. We’re proud they’ve chosen us for their first site outside London and can’t wait to see them thrive here in the North East.”
