Award winning food retailer to open at Sanderson Arcade

28 February 2025

 
 
The independent and ethical frozen food retailer COOK is opening its latest store at Morpeth’s Sanderson Arcade.
 
The former Body Shop unit along the Arcade’s gallery is being transformed into a brand-new home for COOK’s award-winning range of delicious meals – ranging from  meals for one to fantastic and nutritious family favourites not forgetting their range of puddings
 
Best-selling main meals created by COOK include Chicken, ham and leek pie, Beef bourguignon and Moroccan spiced lamb tagine. There’s are also popular vegetarian, Vegan, gluten free and dairy free options. 
 
COOK was founded in 1997 and is run by siblings Rosie Brown and Ed Perry inspired by their love of great home cooking and a desire to do business differently. 
 
The company has grown over the last four decades from a small shop in Farnham to having more than 100 stand-alone and supplying over 1,000 independent stores. 
 
All dishes are prepared by hand in four COOK kitchens and the fabulous range of meals and puddings have seen the company winning a clutch of Great Taste Awards. 
 
The company has a thriving delivery service but is committed to its growing high street presence across the UK. 
 
It’s another retail first for the Arcade, with the closest COOK stand-alone store to Morpeth being in Edinburgh.  The new Northeast store is scheduled for an April opening.
 
 
Matthew Bourne, Retail Directo, said ‘We are really excited to be opening in Morpeth. It’s a brilliant town in the Northeast and we are joining a fantastic range of existing shops. On recent visits, Morpeth has had a great buzz to it, and we can’t wait to be serving the local community and the wider area with our local delivery service’.
 
The company is recruiting 13 new members of staff to work at the new COOK store. 
 
Centre manager at the Arcade, Lottie Thompson, said: “COOK is a great retailer, and we’re so pleased the company is joining the line up at Sanderson Arcade in the spring, bringing something really different. The range of frozen meals and puddings look fantastic and we’re looking forward to welcoming the COOK team when the new store opens.”
