The Larder

The food was absolutely outstanding!
The starter was perfection, we both had black truffle poached egg served with foie gras and confit shallots.
For main I had honey glazed duck breast which came with carrots, beetroot and potato gratin.
Dessert was star anise roasted pineapple.
We also had a few cocktails (pornstar martini).
The service was pleasant, friendly and cheeky (when I say cheeky, I mean they were able to rapport with us)
It’s pricey when you add drinks in to the cost of the meal but it really is worth every penny!

One word: Salad.
It is definitely the best place I found so far to have proper, goodness packed salad for lunch. Of course, degree of goodness depends on the ingredients you put in it — but nevertheless: healthy overall (I count on your health consciousness).
Five bases available including lettuce, rocket and spinach. You can mix it up as well.
Lots of ingredients to put in it too — including usual suspects of chicken breast, tuna and bacon and some unusual for City salad places like poached salmon (my favourite), chorizo and others that I give myself a word to try but always go for salmon. Their deli counter is blooming with colours and choice of fresh ingredients. But if you’re not a vegetable-​liking person — you can have your salad packed with just fish & meat. None will give you a weird look.
You then select a dressing — they have about seven types of dressing. Pesto is my personal favourite.
All this joy costs £7 for a massive bowl. Everybody in my office complains that they can never finish it in one go. Oh well… I often half eat a sandwich, but I always finish my Larder bowl.
Tip: go there before 12.30. Otherwise the queue gets too long but it’s still worth it!
