Chef Paul Welburn, Former Head Chef at Michelin-starred Rhodes W1, opens his first restaurant in Shoreditch, Tonic & Remedy, with its official launch on Tuesday 5 May.
Tonic & Remedy celebrates many forgotten dishes, including Welburn’s creative take on East-end classic, jellied eel: Smoked eel mousse, with jelly and seaweed scones.
After working as Head Chef at Gary Rhodes’ W1, where Welburn held a Michelin Star for five years, he then appeared on BBC’s Great British Menu last year; he was one of only a few contestants to receive 10 / 10 for a dish.
Welburn has since spent the last two years working on Tonic & Remedy, researching forgotten British classics, now serving them up on his menu with his own creative take. He also uses a focus on herbalism, celebrating the heritage of Shoreditch where the apothecaries used precise and exact balances of herbs, wine and spices to aid health, vigour and revitalisation.
Multi award-winning, Benedictine ambassador Jeremy Pascal will head up the bar. His interest in herbal liquer is widely shown through the cocktail menu, with creative and intriguing concoctions.
