MERCATO
METROPOLITANO
Elephant Park
Mercato Metropolitano is proposing to introduce a new factory concept for this site. In addition to the MM signature mix of micro-restaurants and high-quality sustainable food concepts from around the globe, the intension is to mill selected heritage and organic grains on site. MM will then use this product to create bakery, patisserie and pasta products on site.
​
It is planned that the flour and production activities will service the other MM markets around London, improving the quality of their products and positively impacting the MM carbon footprint in terms of distribution.
