Steamer Trading Cookshop - East Street

The illustrious history of our Horsham store dates back to 1925, when Messrs. Scott & Sargeant opened their premises at 26 East Street. Selling all manner of ironmongery and housewares, from pans to lawnmowers, cookers to tools, business flourished and grew and allowed the shop to take over the adjoining property.

In 2004, nearly 80 years later, Scott & Sargeant became a Steamer Trading shop when the owners decided to retire. Having been patched together over the years (it had started life as a covered outdoor yard), we felt the building deserved an anniversary present - and commenced on a year-long renovation.

When we’d finished the shop had grown into no.28, next door, and acquired wonderful new spaces for displaying fabulous kitchenware – and even a café.

Today, our Horsham store is a real emporium, with a fantastic selection of everything for the kitchen and table spread out over 7,000 sq.ft. (that’s a lot of pots, plates and potato peelers!). We’ve got great displays of knives (we’ll show you how to sharpen them); lots of wonderful espresso makers (plugged in and ready to try out); and a working cooker to try out pans.

East Street is now the foodie centre of the lovely town of Horsham, so why not wander along our pedestrianised street, pop into Steamer Trading for some retail therapy and enjoy a reviving lunch at one of the many local restaurants afterwards.
