"We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of Stove and Tap West Chester - our third Stove and Tap location and fifth new restaurant for Stove and Co. Restaurant Group," said Weathers. "Chef and his culinary team will bring our signature and beloved American classic favorites plus modern gastropub fare to a new area of the Philadelphia suburbs. We have been working on Stove and Tap Malvern since 2019 and faced some big set-backs during the pandemic. After all the challenges and nearly a year delay we are ready to rock and roll and we can not wait to get to know our neighbors and new patrons. We pride ourselves on being a great destination for food, drink and quality service - and we hope to become an active member of our new community.

The Stove and Tap brand focuses on fresh, local and delicious ingredients that delivers a product tailored for the community it serves. Scratch made American classics and chef driven dishes drive a seasonal menu, craft cocktails, great American wines, and a beer list that highlights local and nationally celebrated brews.

Weathers said, "At Stove & Tap, we pride ourselves on being more than just a great restaurant. Our food menu is ever-changing using the freshest, local ingredients prepared to perfection. Our mission is simple... to provide our guests with a dynamic dining experience in an exciting environment filled with big flavor and big personality."

Moving forward, with this third Stove and Tap, Weathers explained that each location will have a slightly different menu based on the building, equipment and community needs. Some main staples and Stove & Tap signature dishes will cross-over. Also, the level of community involvement will differ and be unique to the community that the restaurant is located in.

Weathers explained, "Stove and Tap in Lansdale focuses on elevated comfort food and our big American classics, and Malvern was our first location that features our big hits on the menu plus woodfire smoke house comfort cuisine. For West Chester, look for your Stove and Tap favorites and elevated comfort food, but a menu leaning more towards modern gastropub fare."

Executive Chef Joseph Monnich, who formerly helmed the kitchens at Parc and The Dandelion, and who is known for Al Pastor, The Bercy and the original Stove and Tap, will oversee the culinary team. Stove and Tap Malvern will feature an all scratch kitchen that uses seasonal ingredients to highlight American classics. Menu will include gluten free and vegetarian options.
