The Larder

We presented at lunch with 7 people and they accommodated us with a smile at a bit of a smaller table because other tables were reserved. The service is excellent! The food was fresh and delicious - I had the cauliflower and prawn soup, and it was so smooth and yummy, seasoned perfectly. I had the honey parsnips on the side, and I took some home to enjoy the next day. The pasta my family ate looked delicious, and they had every bite. What a lovely lunch 💚

Such a joy to be at The Larder today. The kitchen team excelled - if you haven't been lately- it's worth treating yourself. And if the Confit duck is on the menu it's your lucky day! The parsnips were heaven.... and with such a treat had dessert too. Guess what - that was sensational too. Consistently great food and fabulous service. Can't wait to go again.

Great food, the chef is definitely a champion. But we found some things overpriced (especially the sides). Each time I come, I wonder how much I should pay to get a sincere smile from the owner (manager?), but fortunately, the rest of the staff is totally adorable. The place is extremely noisy at lunch, ok for business/friends lunch. Less for family, intimate meals. It's hard to hear each others.

We were in the area for the Weta tours and popped in to grab a quick bite prior, and it was so good we went back for lunch. I don’t have photos from brekkie because that was very quickly swallowed, but here were a few from lunch. Would’ve loved to go back for another meal if we could but too bad we were moving on today! Service was friendly and very helpful as well, though they do tend to get pretty crowded during peak times so you may have a bit of a wait. The only thing I didn’t quite like were that the coffees were a little on the sour side, but I just needed a bit of juice to jumpstart the morning engine so it was not trouble to me.
