About Shwen Shwen
At Shwen Shwen, we offer an unforgettable dining experience that brings the rich, vibrant flavours of Sierra Leone to Sevenoaks.
Our restaurant is not just about food; it’s about sharing a piece of my heritage, connecting through taste, and inviting you into a world of bold, authentic flavours, reimagined for the modern palate.
Meet The Owner
Shwen Shwen is the culmination of a journey that began in my childhood in Freetown cooking alongside my family, and those early lessons shaped the foundation of the food I create today. After moving to Kent, I transitioned from a career in finance to pursue my passion for food. In 2017, I began catering under the name Maria Bradford Kitchen, and over time, my business grew into what is now Shwen Shwen. With the support of my community and my love for Sierra Leonean food, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my journey through my cookbook, Sweet Salone, and now, through my debut restaurant.
