August 2020: 

Website annaouncement: "After 4 long, hard but very rewarding years it is with a heavy heart that we have made the decision to close the doors on this chapter of grain as of October 17th 2020.

To every single one of our customers, we have nothing other than sincere gratitude for your love and support since day one. Never more so than the last month since coming out of lockdown. There is no shadow of doubt that we would not have made it this far without you all.

Until our closing week it remains business as usual, you can still book online and over the phone. For anyone with vouchers outstanding we'd love to see you coming in too to make use of them."

Harden's says

Inspired by the likes of Clapham's The Dairy, Lyle's and The Clove Club in Shoreditch, two young chefs launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for their own small plates focused, modern, British restaurant in Colchester. Paul Wendholt and Jordan Sidwell hope to open the venture by the end of summer 2016. Chefs and front of house staff will be multi-skilled, cooking in the kitchen and serving in the dining room.

“Some of the best food in Essex” risks being a double-handed compliment, but this trendy four-year-old is winning ever-more awards and accreditations. The food (chosen from a menu with five sections, ‘garden’, ‘water’, ‘land’, ‘cheese’ and ‘sweet’) provides “a wonderful combination of flavours and the concept here of small plates works really well”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
