The Shed | Modern British Cuisine In A Deconstructed Townhouse
Welcome to The Shed, the first restaurant by the Gladwin Brothers, who are one part farmer, one part chef, one part hospitality expert. And if they sound like a kind of human Venn diagram with ‘great restaurants’ in the centre, that’s because they are. It also doesn’t hurt that they were born & raised in rural Sussex, a fact reflected in the food that is served in their bustling Notting Hill restaurant.
The Shed first opened in 2012, and has been flourishing ever since. From the outside, the place is a Georgian London townhouse covered in ivy, whilst inside it’s a rustic dining room of mix-and-match furniture with walls covered in farming props and paraphernalia. A clean, well-organised, homely shed of a restaurant. Fitting.
The current seasonal menu is a showcase of wild, foraged, and farm-grown ingredients, with new dishes like spiced Sussex squash soup, red lentil tarka dhal with roasted heritage carrots, and Essex Jerusalem artichoke risotto with wild mushrooms. They’ll be joining more established favourites like their handmade Sussex chorizo; London buratta with honey walnuts & Ticehurst chargrilled pear; Sussex venison croquettes; and Gressingham duck breast with Chiddingfold hispi cabbage & chestnuts. Oh, and of course their insanely good mushroom Marmite éclairs.
Drink-wise, award-winning wines and fizzes from the Nutbourne family vineyard sit alongside a selection of British lagers, ales and ciders. The Sussex Martini – as well as many of the other cocktails on offer – follows the regional trend by using Silver Birch vermouth from the Blackdown Distillery in Sussex and Adnam’s Copper House vodka or gin from their distillery in Suffolk.
