The Larder Wanstead

Ok this is another level. I feel like I'm in the Ivy, albeit rather far away from King's Road I must say. There's somthing about this place which delivers an atmosphere akin to sitting in nature. Hard to describe but it's less modern, more old school cozy/ rustic and that's what makes the place so relaxing. What works in its favour is the sheer size of the place across 2 shop ground sloor spaces. It's beautiful. I'll be back for more. Oh any the coffee. Its artisan indeed. Smoother, creamier texture, fruity and a long finish. Certainly not just any old coffee. This is a safe bet. Enjoy.

I left my bag in The Larder. Came back the next day and asked if someone had found/handed my bag in yesterday, and thankfully they did. One of the members of staff found the bag and kept it safe behind the counter and I collected my bag just now. Thank you so much to your and your wonderful team, the fact that it was kept safe by your staff and nothing was taken from my bag, shows there is kindness and humanity in the world. Thank you! 🙏

Had a lovely birthday lunch today. The food was delicious and the service kind and attentive. There was a problem with my food but the staff couldn't have done more to address it. An offer of a full refund (which I didn't accept because it was not negligence) and a complementary tea and cakes (very acceptable!)made this a 5 star review 😀

This is my favourite place to visit on a Sunday morning. Tea drinkers, the Cutting Chai and London Fog are to die for! The staff are friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is very warm, relaxed and cosy. A home from home. My only development points are, a loyalty card for customers like me who are here most Sundays and more active clearing of tables and crumbs left behind by some of the smaller patrons would be appreciated!
