Grain brings Mediterranean dining to Holborn with first flagship store
The company aims to open 10 more UK sites in 2026 and reach 50 by 2030.
Grain, a new Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, is set to open its first location in Holborn on 4 November.
The launch will create 25 jobs and serve as the blueprint for what the company describes as a scalable, health-focused dining model.
The Holborn branch will let customers assemble their own bowls and pitas from a range of unprocessed bases, proteins, and dips.
Designed with Terry Moore (Hotel Chocolat), the space features an open kitchen and a sun-washed palette designed for high-footfall urban spaces.
The opening is the first move in Grain’s national rollout. The company plans to open ten more restaurants in major UK cities in 2026, with a longer-term target of 50 sites by 2030.
Discussions are underway with landlords, developers, and investors to secure sites in key retail, transport, and university areas.
A new central kitchen is also being developed to standardise production and support future expansion, including potential franchise operations in the UK and Europe.
