What a joy to dine at this special restaurant, The Shed tonight. Kyle, our waiter was so lovely a friendly. We ordered five dishes amongst the two of us. The globe artichoke was good but not outstanding although beautiful as captured below. From the slow cooking section: The lamb chips and the pork cigars were both beyond magical and too gorgeous that we dived in and forgot to take a photos! We also had the plaice which was a lovely soft fish. For pud, the dark chocolate delice with raspberries and baked white chocolate was of course perfect to hit the sweet spot! The setting was perfect sitting on the terrace - a real treat in the warm summer weather! Finally, thanks to the staff for being very attentive and friendly. All in all, a superb time and must try!
Having been a fan of Rabbit, the sister restaurant of The Shed, I was curious whether or not the Notting Hill venue can live up to my expectations. The menu is similar to the Rabbit, with a few classic dishes like Chorizo and the goats cheese & caramelised almonds being the same. Also a number of new dishes that I quite enjoyed, e.g. Beef cigars (see photo). Consistently high quality of food, good execution, very attentive service. Wine list is ok but not overly extensive. All in all very good.
A well catered for family Saturday lunch here. Great space, good table for our group at the back so the kids didn't disturb which made for a more relaxed lunch for us. Bit surprised though that there were no child high chairs.
Due to our size, group size not because we're huge, we had a set menu. They spoke to us beforehand to make sure all dietary requirements were met which was much appreciated given the pregnant members of the group.
Lots of smallish interesting tapas style dishes. Different textures and flavours. I was a bit worried they might not be enough but they kept coming which was great. The only surprise was th"main" meat dish was quite small. Otherwise all good
Only disappointment was the English red Pino noir.
The Shed is a lovely little restaurant with a warm, cosy, all-British atmosphere. The menu is farm-focused but sophisticated. The highlights for me were the gin-cured trout and the honeycomb dessert with mascarpone and tarragon sugar.
Service deserves a nod as well - the staff here is genuinely friendly, contributing to the relaxed atmosphere of the place, but professional and attentive at the same time.
I've been wanting to try this place since I accidentally found it two years ago. Well, I finally did. Last night. And it was worth it. We decided to go for the set menu, a selection of small to large plates and a dessert. They put a lot of thought into every bite, some are misses but the majority are hits. They use only the finest produce grown on their farm in West Sussex and you can truly taste the freshness. Their goats cheese with hazelnuts, thyme and honey is the one to try, along with their mouthfuls. Seriously, all of our eyes popped out with every bite. The staff, well, if you can call them that- they feel more like friends, helping you out with your meal. Timing is on point, service is great, food is delicious and the bill was extremely fair. Yes, of course I'll come back. Well, after I've tried Rabbit.

I'd never heard of The Shed before I was invited by a friend who was visiting from overseas; he was passing by the restaurant and thought the menu had seemed really interesting.
A huge fan of small plates myself, I had looked at the website beforehand and was rather impressed at the sheer variety on offer on a small but what I considered to be a beautifully thought out menu.
As it turned out, my companion and I were incredibly fortunate to get a booking for seven o'clock - the place was rammed and someone hadn't turned up so they were able to squeeze us in.
Anyone working in the food industry would be extremely impressed, if not a little green with this scenario.
Before I get down to it, I have to say that the seating wasn't all that comfortable and neither was the distance between tables. This said, the service was incredibly friendly and efficient and we were soon sipping our first, very quaffable bottle of Picpoul.
Our waiter had recommended five plates with a basket of bread to share. There were so many tempting sounding dishes on the menu but after a brief conflab with my pal we plumped for the following:-
Goat's cheese with honey, thyme and hazelnuts/gin cured sea trout/duck livers with radicchio, sweet mustard and chives/fallow deer/ Nutbourne lamb and two baskets of sourdough bread.
The first thing to note is that plates are all really good looking, without exception. A lot of thought has gone into this menu and the attention to detail is second to none.
Let's just get down to it - this is one of the best places I've eaten in all year. Both of us were just incredibly impressed with what was put before us. The meats were cooked to perfection (medium rare), the trout was meltingly soft, the quality of ingredients second to none and the combination of flavours was like a Beethoven symphony conducted by Karajan - harmonious, bold and beautiful.
Everything was first class, including the bread. God I love eating like this. It's exactly what eating out should be about.
I was a guest and so didn't see the bill but a couple of bottles of wine, the five sharing dishes and two lots of bread came to about £120. It's not cheap, nor should it be. There may be one or two Gargantuan Americans who may take umbrage over the portion size, but for me it was the perfect meal. It's been a long time since I said that. Bravo the trio of brothers who own this fine establishment. I'm going to shout about this place from the rooftops.

Every so often I come across a new restaurant that surprises and delights me. It surprises as I always assume that because I've only just found it, it must be brand new (rarely is) and it delights me as I have a new place to go for amazing food in London. The Shed in Notting Hill is one of these. I only found out about The Shed last week whilst googling potential spots for a mid week girly dinner, and called and booked the only table they had left, which was at 6pm. It didn't matter that it was so early though - I work not far from Notting Hill so knew I could get there in time and I'd been saving myself for food all day... if only my dinner date had got there on time too! By the time she arrived it was quarter to seven and I was already 2 drinks down. I don't want to moan though, it was strangely nice to sit there on my own whilst waiters and waitresses in checked shirts buzzed around me getting the place ready for what was to be a full house on a Tuesday night. I'm working with a food festival later this year, so while I waited I made some notes for that, as it's rare I've got any time to myself at the moment.
The most amazing place to eat ever! Fantastic food, great service, friendly personal, Highly recommended and I, most definitely, will be back .
A great family-run business. Unique set up and full of atmosphere (a bit too noisy for the 60yr old within our group?). Hadn't realised it was a sharing-plate type restaurant which was a bit awkward with the boyfriend's parents, but all was delicious. I'd recommend the Nutbourne Estate white wine - just not too much!

.... the Shed is all about nose-to-tail, ground-to-gob cuisine almost entirely sourced from its own farm in Sussex. Founded by the Gladwin Brothers, a toothy pair usually photographed holding aloft a tangle of skinned rabbits by the ankles, the ‘story’ is an almost cloyingly wholesome caricature of country life. And the rampant fetishisation of Britain’s countryside continues inside because the Shed really is, er, a shed, albeit a very beautiful one with good heating. There’s even a bar with a tractor top flown overhead, from which hearty-looking barmen pluck tinkling wine glasses. To be fair to them, they do seem pretty committed to their values, and – rather wonderfully – the menu changes every day depending on what ingredients the farm throws up. Everything is seasonal, which was unfortunate for me as it meant that beetroot was positively having a party all over the menu, dipping its slimy purple toe in at least half of the dishes on offer. I’ve tried to like beetroot, I really have, but it tastes just too much like soil for me. Luc
Relaxed dining near nottinghill gate. Had an early dinner here where we turned up on a Saturday around 6:30pm without a reservation. Food was nice and service was both attentive and friendly. Had the steak and duck. Both nice. Funny space but comfortable. I thought they could have made a bigger deal of the farm to gate produce. About £120 with a drink, entree and mains.
What a great first night in London. We were craving a tasty modern version of British food and we got it here. The a service was fast, the atmosphere was vibrant, and the food we ordered was 10/10. In particular the waiter’s recommendation to get the venison, not something I would have gravitated toward, was spot on. Cooked perfectly and tasty. The starters were particularly well cratfed and the wine list was robust. Will definitely come back.
My boyfriend and I had a lovely experience at The Shed this evening. We were greeted by the loveliest Mikey and his friendly staff who made our evening very special and ensured that we were satisfied. The food was 10/10 and their signature cocktails are not to be missed! Very happy, will go again soon for another special dinner!
Absolutely loved it!! Food was excellent (highly recommend the duck and pasta)
Mikey our host was so attentive and friendly. Our dishes arrived in perfect time and were absolutely delicious. Our glasses were topped up consistently!
The front of the restaurant was dog friendly which was amazing... my dog luna, thoroughly enjoyed the duck! (pic for cuteness)

I’ve been to The Shed last Saturday for lunch with friends.This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing wines and the food is delicious!Thank you Jonny for the amazing service!
This was a great experience! We discovered this restaurant while looking for some place to have dinner after 21.30. A few of the places in the area don't serve food after 21, but this place accommodated us. It's very cosy and themed, as the name suggests. Our server was very attentive, friendly, and fast. We ordered a few dishes - the homemade bread with garlic butter was so fluffy and delicious, chips were crispy, and the leafy salad with parmesan was very well seasoned I really enjoyed the scallops. They were so tender. The duck breast was a big chewy to my liking, but it was good overall. There also a variety of drinks with quite a few alcohol free drinks, and they also have vegan and vegetarian option, both for food and drinks. I would definitely recommend this place!
Very cozy, almost a little too cozy. Cushions were comfy but tables were very small for three people to fit. Service was ok. We were asked to leave in 90 minutes which just felt rushed for wine, appetizers dinner and dessert where everything took a little bit to arrive. The 13.5% discretionary fee was unexpected and disappointing - if they posted it I failed to see it. Food was very nice. I would have given it five stars and not four stars if not for the uninspired service and fee.
Fantastic little nook with absolutely delicious food and excellent drinks. Food is seasonal and cooked beautifully, wonderful flavours. The staff are friendly, observant and just genuinely lovely. Don't pass this little gem ❤️
FOOD & DRINKS were absolutely amazing with so much taste and attention to detail. EVERYTHING was cooked to perfection! Lovely cost & warm, with an electric atmosphere. Mikey was a true host with a world of personality and knowledge of the menu. Will definitely be back.
