Grain Store Unleashed at The Zetter Hotel

Bruno Loubet goes vegetable crazy at Clerkenwell hotel pop-up Grain Store Unleashed...

Look out Clerkenwell, Bruno Loubet is bringing his Grain Store restaurant operation your way, AND IT’S UNLEASHED!!!!! I might have sexed it up with a few extra exclamation marks and some gratuitous capitalisation there, but Grain Store Unleashed at The Zetter Hotel has gotten chef Loubet all excited, and we share his enthusiasm. The project sees his King’s Cross eatery break the shackles and make the trip East to the hotel where, for five years, Bistrot Bruno Loubet has been wowing guests. GSU at The Zetter will become the first of a rolling programme of takeovers at the venue’s culinary space.

The vegetable, we are promised, is still the key ingredient at this Unleashed version of Grain Store, but Loubet has some surprises up his sleeve. “We are going to take risks and show what is possible with vegetables,” he vowed. “I will take the Grain Store cooking to another level.” While the chef is doing interesting things with them in the kitchen, the interior designers have been doing equally adventurous things with them in the main dining area; an installation of shelving shows the star ingredients in their best light by presenting them in a selection of scientific glassware, from measuring cylinders to retro bell jars, watched over by a (to these eyes) anthropomorphised anglepoise that reminds one of the Pixar character Luxo who pops up in their opening credits. Anyway, Grain Store Unleashed will only remain at large for a limited time, so enjoy these experimental vegetables while you can.
