Sashimi concept, indie bakery to debut at The Yards in Covent Garden

The location looks to strengthen its position as a go-to food destination.

The Yards at Covent Garden will welcome a restaurant debut for Japanese temaki and sashimi concept UKIYO and a central London first for Buns from Home.

UKIYO chose 8 Slingsby Place for its first-ever 1,636 sq ft restaurant, featuring a menu that will focus solely on Japanese hand rolls and a East Asian inspired mixology offering, priding itself on a no cutlery experience.

Set to launch next month is Buns From Home, who is moving into 140 Long Acre for its first central London site and fourth location. The 220 sq ft location will offer the brand’s signature cinnamon and cardamom croissant buns, alongside dessert buns and savoury options.

Barney Goff, founder of Buns From Home, said: ”Signing for our debut central London location in The Yards is a major milestone for us. It is an incredible and diverse food hub and we are looking forward to bringing our popular pastries and breads to the local community and visitors alike.”
