Behind the counter, the brains behind the outfit is owner Lin Cherrington, who recently departed from a 25-year career in the media, welcoming the public into her shop at the end of June.

A keen cook herself, she trawled specialist stores across the world before the opening, looking for new and unusual gadgets.

For the occasional cook or aspiring chef, buying for you or as a gift, Creative Cookware has a team of helpful, friendly staff, able to advise on products from the shop's extensive range.

Brands include Alessi and Mauviel, and Creative Cookware is the unique stockist of Auerhahn.

The shop itself is bright, fresh and contemporary, reflecting Lin Cherrington's lively and outgoing character.
