Kerbisher & Malt was a chain of fish and chip shops in London. The first branch was established in the West London suburb of Brook Green by chef Saul Reuben and his brother-in-law Nick Crossley in 2011.[2] "Kerbisher" was a fishing boat crewed by Crossley's grandfather, who was a herring fisherman, while "Malt" is the malt vinegar commonly served with fish and chips.[3]
By 2015, Kerbisher & Malt had six restaurants across London, but these were gradually closed, with the last branch in Brook Green being put on the market in February 2020.[4] The chain was owned by CRFC Ltd, a private company limited by shares, which was dissolved in 2021.[5]
Reception
Zoe Williams reviewed their opening for the Sunday Telegraph, praising the freshness of the fish and the traditional quality of the chips, "I almost want to write a love poem to the chips ... Here, they've returned to first principles ... They've made chips that remind me of being a kid and going to the chip-shop after swimming..."
