Our History

David Shuttle first opened his doors for business in December 1978 based in the desirable and exclusive market town of Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire. The original shop in Gregories Road experienced instant success, and over a period of steady growth a swift relocation to a larger site was required.

In May 1983 a site on the enviable Penn Road became available and formed the home of our flagship store. After three extensions and numerous re-fits it has blossomed into one of the biggest and best independent Fine dining & Gift stores in the UK.

It became apparent over the years that despite the success and excellent reputation of the Beaconsfield store, trade was heavily localised. The solution was obvious and in August 1998 a second store in the sought-after market town of Princes Risborough opened for business.

Encapsulating everything that David Shuttle and the Beaconsfield store had grown to stand for, it maintains our traditions and continues to grow the business.

In 2003 with the flagship store continuing to outgrow its surroundings and a growth in the cookware market, our third store and first independent Cook shop was launched. Located just 30 yards from our flagship store, it has become the epicentre for all Beaconsfield foodies.

Constantly striving to provide its customers with the best service and information possible, in 2008 www.DavidShuttle.com was launched. Its mission is to provide the same unique shopping experience to the world 24/7, 365 days a year.
