the modern larder
BACK IN THE SUMMER OF 2021
WE OPENED OUR FIRST DELI.
The Deli on Church Street, with a simple but powerful idea: that a larder isn’t just a cupboard — it’s a mindset.
It’s the foundation of how you eat, cook, and connect to your food. It can be a fridge you inherited from your aunt, a shelf of pickles and preserves, or a spice drawer in the corner of your kitchen packed with your favourite flavours. It’s what you reach for when you’re hungry, in need of comfort, or simply just trying to feed your small children.
For us, the modern larder is where it all begins.
JOIN OUR TABLE
A collection of stories from our kitchen, our growers, and the makers we’re proud to stand alongside. Here you’ll find behind-the-scenes glimpses, seasonal reflections, and thoughtful notes on what it means to eat with the rhythm of the land. It’s about more than food; it’s about the people, places, and traditions that make your larder worth opening.
