The London-based sandwich and coffee brand is looking to raise £1m to fund the next phase of its expansion, starting with sites eight and nine, with a plan to scale to more than 30 locations ahead of a targeted exit by 2030.
Yolk says it is targeting the UK’s £25bn food-to-go market and is ‘on a mission to rescue busy lives from loveless food’ by serving restaurant quality sandwiches, speciality coffee and better breakfast options using high-quality ingredients.
It currently operates seven sites in the capital generating £6.5m annualised revenue and 35,000 customer visits per month as of the end of 2025.
In One Basket, which trades as Yolk, has raised £5m to date from a mix of angels, crowdfunding and strategic investors that include SSP Group, which operates food and drink sites in travel locations across the world. In 2023 it launched a fundraise to raise a minimum of £750,000 on private investor network platform Growthdeck.
In October 2025, Yolk entered into a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) in which it closed three sites on the Strand, New Oxford Street and High Holborn, taking its portfolio from down from 10 to seven locations.
Yolk says it is targeting an exit within five years, most likely via a trade sale to a strategic operator or private equity once the business reaches around 30 sites and mature group economics.
