In 2004 Cullen-Kerridge moved to Norfolk to work on property renovation, for which she had a fondness. A year later she moved to Marlow in Buckinghamshire to develop and open a gastropub, The Hand and Flowers with her husband, chef Tom Kerridge.[2] They were able to purchase the pub with the help of money she had received for a sculpture commission for a roundabout in Stoke.[3]

Cullen-Kerridge subsequently gave up producing sculpture for a number of years while she developed the business.[4]

Cullen-Kerridge travelled to Carrara in 2010, to study marble carving with artisans there. [5]

She had an exhibition at Hoxton Arches, Hoxton, East London in 2014. Works included a formal shirt on a crucifix called "Hung out to Dry".

Her sculptures also include a shirt torso with a shark fin protruding from the back.[4] She exhibited at Gallery Different in Percy Street, London in Oct 2015. [6]
