About The Cooks Shed
We are responding to the times by offering a distinctive and delicious selection of main meals, meal packs and our wonderful breads and products for you to enjoy at home or on a picnic.
We are two families producing innovative and exquisite food from the best of Suffolk ingredients, great British produce and responsibly sourced global goods, and serving it to you in a delightful way. We believe in using the best ingredients to lead our menus. We cook from scratch – we bake, ferment and cure in-house. We forage wild food ourselves.
Vlad and Matt are the chefs, with spouses Eliza and Diana
and young children behind the scenes. Vlad’s cooking heritage goes back to the heady days of London fine dining in the 90s and 2000s. He worked alongside masters and Michelin-star chefs including Anton Edelman and Graham Garrett, and at the influential Blandford Street Restaurant, gaining him vast experience of classical and cutting edge techniques. He developed an enviable repertoire as a top-level fine dining chef.
Matt had a successful appearance on MasterChef and worked in renowned London restaurants Ottolenghi and Moro. He has a degree in biology and a deep interest in the natural environment, enabling him to identify and collect edible wild plants, understand the seasonality of cultivated vegetables and grasp the biochemical complexities of preservation and fermentation. Both have been drawn by the splendour of Suffolk produce. The Cooks’ Shed brings together Vlad’s technical mastery and Matt’s profound botanical insight.
Our food is innovative and exciting, sometimes comforting, sometimes exhilarating, always delightful.
You can buy individual dishes, large stews and soups for groups or to freeze and choose from our range of house-made products including our famous breads.
We know that when you open your takeaway and taste your first mouthful it has to be as good as if you were in our restaurant. We are making sure that happens.

We look forward to cooking for you,
Matt, Vlad, Diana and Eliza
