One of the easiest 5 star reviews I've had to give. In many years of working in the industry and dining at many a venue. The larder is right up there with the very best. On arrival you are warmly greeted by the head waiter ( name I neglected to get ) who shows you to your table and nicely remembered that it was the wife and I anniversary. He nicely introduced us about the restaurant and we was seated in the lovely upstairs room. The whole place is fantastic and the right atmosphere is carefully balanced from decor to music. You can tell the time has gone into carefully bringing the right level of professionalism without being too swank as they say. It is a place that will meet most occasions and the level of service is up there. The head waiter was very knowledgeable and knew his menu well and was very pleasant and attentive. I noticed the way he passed instruction to others also top level and could see he had the respect of the other seemingly younger service staff. Our server millie was a star. Again knowledgeable and attentive, warm , polite and on the ball. She did a really top job and she will grow to be a leader one day I am sure of it. Not sure if hospitality is what she wants to do but if she did she could very well go far. So massive thank you to Millie and who ever sees this review , I'm sure you know this buts Millie is a keeper. That said all the staff was great but millie stood out for me and my wife. This review is long and we haven't got to the food but please take note that this place is worth the time. As for the food it was next level good. Detail , presentation , flavours are all spot on. The chili lime prawns was just magical and delicious. The wife's soup of the day , which I believe was butternut squash was absolutely amazing, didn't think such a simple soup could taste that good. I enjoyed a well seasoned sirloin that was cooked perfectly but the winner has to go to the wife's duo of lamb. Now I use the butcher that supplies the meat here and it is top notch meat but the way in which it was cooked was pure perfection. My wife enjoys many a meal but let's say isn't as enthusiastic to dining as me and many others but this lamb even stunned and impressed her which if you knew my wife is like receiving a Michelin star, she was properly wowed by the lamb. For dessert we both opted for the bannoffe profiterole. This was a lovely end to the meal and real treat. Perfect balance of light sweet flavours that wasn't over the top sweet. Overall this was a top level evening that went beyond the expectation and exceeded the great reviews we had been told about before booking. The staff are a credit to the venue and the anniversary card was a nice touch and set the evening nicely . My old fashioned was probably one of the best I've had made for me and next time will maybe indulge on a taxi and enjoyed 1 or 2 more. Absolutely excellent, worth every penny and Google should have this place as a 5 star not the 4.8 , who ever knocked them down was a jealous rival or a customer suffering with delusions of grandeur lol really this place is awesome. Highly recommend

A moment of serendipity. We had the pleasure of dining at Larder for the first time 2 weeks back. Cheese Beignets to start, absolutely delicious and the Chateaubriand was the best ive had this year. It was absolutely superb, I can't recommend this place highly enough, we'll definitely be regulars here. At a snip of the price of next door too.

Fantastic food, good wine, nice surroundings and generally great service, somewhat spoilt when the waitress asked if I wanted my £16 change! Which I didn't, but it felt really rude.

This visit now and I think this was my favourite visit, better atmosphere upstairs. We had a great meal, very tasty, nice selection on the menu to choose from. We both particularly enjoyed our starters. Duo of Lamb was probably the weakest part of the meal, didn’t feel well balanced and croquette was very dry. Deserts were great! Wines are pretty expensive but a good selection, and the cocktails we started with were nice.

This one is actually 5 star worthy Been twice for Sunday set meals so far and the experience is constantly superb The food irrespective of its reasonable price is extremely well thought out and executed. Would highly recommend the roast beef! The service is always attentive and friendly The place is laid back but has a sophisticated interior and feels warm and inviting No service charge is mandated which is nice to tip as you can/see fit

Good quality food. The steak was superb. Cocktails were also nice. The pesto butter was wonderful with the bread and the staff were attentive. Food took a little bit longer than expected but it was a fully booked Saturday evening service and the drinks were flowing in the meantime. Great Restaurant all-round. Will be back for sure and bring visitors.

The best food we've had in years! Everything was just incredible, the chefs at the larder should be super proud of themselves! The service from start to finish was perfect too. Worth every penny. Can't wait to come back!

Fantastic food service was brilliant from the second we walked in the door. We were a group of seven and had three courses all presented beautifully.

Fabulous experience for Sunday lunch & very reasonably priced. The menu had a relatively small, but perfectly acceptable number of options for each course, and there was definitely something for everyone (meat, fish & vegetarian/vegan options). We all found it difficult to chose between the delicious dishes on offer. Extra courses of bread & pesto butter before the starter and a fudge sweet each with the bill were served. Everyone loved every course & we all commented on the incredible flavours. We had roasts for the mains and it was probably the best I’ve ever had. The sides of vegetables were delicious and generously-sized and the extra portion of hot gravy was a thoughtful touch. The staff were incredibly friendly & attentive, and each course arrived quickly. The drinks selection was excellent and also very reasonably priced. The whole experience was faultless and we will definitely be back.
