What Unalome by Graeme Cheevers does

UNALOME by Graeme Cheevers is a one-Michelin-Star contemporary fine dining restaurant operating from a single venue at 36 Kelvingrove Street in Finnieston, Glasgow, founded on 2 June 2021 by Chef Patron Graeme Cheevers as his first solo venture. The restaurant serves seasonal Japanese-influenced European cuisine across a tasting menu, a vegetarian tasting menu, an à la carte menu, and a lunch menu, alongside an exclusive eight-seat Kitchen Table chef's counter experience priced at £200 per guest. It generated over £500,000 in initial property investment to deliver an open-kitchen, sustainability-forward dining environment featuring induction cooking, Energy Star combi ovens, 100% green electricity, an in-house Evogro hydroponic herb system, heat-exchange heating, and a glass-crushing recycling unit.

The business monetises primarily through on-premise dining transactions (with a 12.5% discretionary service charge), gift voucher sales via the WeAreGifted third-party platform (digital, printed and gift-boxed formats valid 12 months), the premium Kitchen Table experience with optional prestige wine pairings, and bespoke private events offered in-house or off-site across Glasgow and beyond. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: customers book via the restaurant's Dojo-powered online booking system, by phone, or by email, supported by email newsletter capture, organic social presence, Google Reviews, and earned media coverage in The Herald, The Scotsman, and The Times.

The company is privately held with no external institutional investment, operates as a single legal entity alongside a sister restaurant brand LOMA by Graeme Cheevers at Cameron House Hotel on Loch Lomond, and provides no disclosed financials, headcount, or active hiring pipeline beyond a publicly listed careers contact. Service runs Wednesday through Sunday only, with lunch (12pm–2.30pm) and dinner (6pm–late) seatings, and reservations carry credit-card-backed cancellation fees of £35 per lunch guest and £80 per dinner guest for changes inside 72 hours.
