Friends of The Cooking Shed
From suppliers to sponsors - The Cooking Shed wouldn't be the cookery school that it is today if it wasn't for the help and support of its local community. Here are just a few of the key people and organisations that have helped us, and that we would recommend wholeheartedly as 'good eggs'...
A traditional family butchers in Wallington supplying award winning meat for all of our classes, and going the extra mile to help support our small business. D.Parker & Son now deliver to customers homes - get in touch with them to check if you're in their delivery area.
Holwood Farm have an amazing array of cheeses, cured meats, organic fruit & veg, breads and fab fishmonger onsite. Its also perfect for a slice of cake, great coffee, or glass of fizz while there.

Based on Lower Addiscombe Rd, owner James has been selling fish and shellfish since 1998! Travelling in the early hours of the morning every day to iconic Billingsgate fish market, their produce is amazingly fresh, reasonably priced, and beautifully prepared.

Thanks to Jane Knight for all of the help and support that she's given to Regan since she started her vision of The Cooking Shed. Her business start up course and one to one help has kept Regan focused on her end goal at all times and ensured The Cooking Shed reflects the original vision.
Sharon Baldwin, the Executive Director for this brilliant BID management company has helped to make it possible for parents in and around the Orpington area to have access to the amazing skills of Successful Mums - something that proved invaluable to us on our start-up journey.
Not only a referer of some of our lovely customers, but also a group that's helped to support us through cooking and class suggestions, and running competitions. Oh - and they love Gin too :)
