26 Grains | London (UK) | By Lee Fleming

The recently opened 26 Grains is the brainchild of 26-year-old porridge enthusiast Alex Hely-Hutchinson whom having spent a year studying in Copenhagen has introduced London to a wholehearted approach towards oat cuisine. The philosophy behind 26 Grains is rooted in quality, simplicity and seasonality to deliver a delicious menu of grain based dishes.

26 Grains takes inspiration from Scandinavian cooking traditions, in particular the concept ‘Hygge’ which translated suggests a sense of cosiness best describes atmosphere in 26 Grains. Initially starting as a pop-up stall at Old Street Station, 26 Grains latest location can be found in Neal’s Yard in the heart of Covent Garden, central London. London-based design firm Block1 were tasked with creating a Nordic influenced interior that would provide a fitting backdrop for 26 Grains wholesome grain-based dishes. The stripped-back palette of natural woods, clean marble and rough rendered walls creates a warm Scandinavian aesthetic.
