The Larder

Industrial chic meets touchy-feely wood in this cavernous, all-purpose dining space, comprising of restaurant, bar & next-door bakery. The food is competently prepared & comes from a menu featuring nice seasonal touches. In summer, you might encounter specials like a prawn, crayfish & avocado salad or leek & Gorgonzola tart, while more wintry treats include duck rillettes with pear & thyme, black-leg chicken with roast potatoes, porcini mushrooms & garlic confit & desserts like hot chocolate pudding with vanilla ice-cream. Both menu & wine list pricing is well pitched & another positive is the huge communal table, scattered with magazines to entertain solo diners.
