Tom - Founder of The Shed
Tom is the original founder of The Shed Catering back in 2016, having built the idea from his own garden shed as a supper club in the village.
After establishing and growing the business, he has since stepped back from daily operations but remains an important part of the team.
Tom now supports with sourcing quality local ingredients and helps Max in the kitchen when needed — keeping true to the roots of where it all began. He also brings a sharp eye for logistics, offering guidance and suggestions drawn from his experience to support the team as the business continues to grow.
Angie - Front Of House Team
Angie has been part of the story since day one, originally supporting Tom and Max when the business first began. The business definitely wouldn't be what it is today without her.
Known for her friendly smile and welcoming nature, she’s always been a natural host who makes guests feel at home.
These days, when needed Angie works closely with Clare as a key part of the front of house team, keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Whether it's running food, lending a hand garnishing dishes or even taking care of all the linen!
Our Extended Team
Behind the scenes, we’re incredibly lucky to have the support of our wonderful friends and family who step in to help whenever needed. Whether it’s lending a hand at events, helping with deliveries, offering advice, or simply being there during busy periods, their support makes a huge difference.
They may not be involved every day, but their willingness to jump in when needed keeps everything running smoothly. We truly couldn’t do it without them — and we’re so grateful for their time, energy, and encouragement.
