Melt brings signature grilled cheese sandwiches to Boxhall City with new Liverpool Street location

London-based toastie brand Melt has opened its second location today, bringing its signature grilled cheese sandwiches to Boxhall City, the food hall near Liverpool Street Station. The expansion follows Melt’s initial success at Old Spitalfields Market and marks a strategic move to reach a broader audience in the heart of the City of London.

Boxhall City, which opened earlier this year, features 14 kitchens and two bars, and aims to showcase independent and craft-driven businesses. Located within a restored Edwardian shopping arcade, it combines street food with chef-led offerings in a communal setting. The new Melt kitchen joins a growing roster of independent vendors in the 17,000 sq foot venue, and will operate as a takeaway-only outlet. They will be offering a selection of popular toasted sandwiches, including The Eastender and The Melt, as well as a site-exclusive sandwich called The Boxer, with smoked pulled pork, maple mustard, a cheddar-mozzarella blend, Kansas BBQ sauce and candied jalapeños, served with house-made coleslaw.

The toastie brand, known for its indulgent approach, has developed a loyal customer base since it opened in Spitalfields. Founder Tom Pepper said: “We’ve always believed great comfort food should be bold, simple and full of personality – which is exactly why Boxhall feels like the perfect home for Melt. We’ve built an incredible community at Old Spitalfields Market, and we’re bringing our toasties, dips and big flavours to a whole new crowd in the heart of the City. We can’t wait to fire up the grill and serve Liverpool Street its new favourite melt.”

Luther Dyer, general manager at Boxhall, enthused: “We’re thrilled to welcome Melt to Boxhall. Their dedication to quality ingredients and unapologetically indulgent comfort food makes them a perfect fit for our community. Melt brings a real sense of fun and flavour to the space, and we know their toasties will be an instant hit with our guests.”
