Looked at that and the cupboards at the top are full length and go right to the ceiling, look custom made so no sneaky void hiding up top by the looks of things sadly!

Well there is some sort of extra wood fastened to the face of those cabinets
 
I with @Leesparkykent, fish it under the plinths and through the wall. Solid board cutter route will be just as good, there are blanks specifically designed for the cut out. Export the TNCS as its a perfectly expectable method, just make sure if its PME that there isnt any extraneous bonding in the new shed. Make sure there not going to ask for Infrared heaters as your 4mm will struggle.

Brilliant, thanks very much everyone, lots of food for thought on how to get to done! I'll take a look at getting it under the plinths, I'll hopefully get this done in the "near" future and show you how it went!

Thanks, @Pete999 , @Leesparkykent , @telectrix , @buzzlightyear , @tomspark93 , @LankyWill for your input and experienced advice, very much appreciated!
 
As Tomspark mentions - if the 'bar' will only be a small load and it is a pain to route the SWA, then run from a FCU in the house spurred off skt ring. There is a IET Wiring Matters regards this very arrangement - see attached.

Otherwise, unless there specific bonding requirements in the shed i.e. copper water pipe, Jacuzzi; then run a 3C SWA (suggest > 2.5mm^2) - no need for a dedicated rod. (Subject to how far away 'bar' is from house ideally less than 10mtr)
