The Mac Factory's story began in Cape Town, South Africa in 2001. Teenage entrepreneur Graham Bradbury, turned his passion for food into a business by creating Mac & Cheese and Lasagne ready meals to earn pocket money.
Pursuing his culinary dreams, Graham moved to London, where he honed his skills in some of the finest kitchens. Sous Chef at Marco Pierre White's L'Escargot, Sous Chef at St Mary's Axe at The Gherkin and Head Chef at The Gore Hotel.
When the street food revolution took London by storm, Graham seized the moment and launched "The Mac Factory" at Camden Market on 13 January 2014.
The Mac Factory's USPs include our bold flavors, signature crumble, and a playful yet gourmet approach to Mac & Cheese. Each dish is crafted to elevate comfort food to a new level of indulgence. We take pride in our commitment to using high-quality ingredients and serving our mac's fresh ensures a mouth-watering experience in every bite. Our dedication to quality and innovation has earned us recognition, with media outlets describing us as 'the Mac Daddy of mac 'n' cheese places' and 'one of London's best mac 'n' cheese' establishments.
From Michelin-starred kitchens to the streets of London, The Mac Factory has seamlessly blended fine dining techniques with the vibrant spirit of street food. Our flagship store in Camden has become synonymous with events and large-scale catering.
As challenges of the Covid pandemic forced us to close our Oxford and Putney Restaurants, we embraced innovation, experimenting with frozen ready meals in an effort to bring gourmet comfort food into homes and institutions nationwide.
The Mac Factory has established a unique position in the street food scene, earning a reputation for quality and innovation.
