Mercato Metropolitano (MM) is coming to Elephant Park. The MM Factory will open later this year, on Walworth Square and Sayer Street, and will be the first of its kind. It will offer the local community a unique and sustainable dining experience, as well as being a supportive social hub centred on a love of food. 

In addition to its signature mix of micro-restaurants and high-quality sustainable food concepts from around the globe, the MM Factory in Elephant Park will mill selected heritage and organic grains on site. It will then use these to create nutritious bakery, patisserie and pasta products. 

The MM Factory will also inspire and empower local communities with exciting activities to complement the ongoing calendar of community events. 

It will extend Mercato Metropolitano’s current cookery school programme to include a greater focus on sustainable food production and lifestyles. There will also be free cookery classes for local children, with an emphasis on healthy eating, free community lunches for older residents who may be isolated or lonely, and cooking training for refugees. 

MM factory is due to open mid-2020.
