A New Chapter: Transitioning from Restaurant to Retail and Accommodation

This decision was not made lightly. Over the past five years, we've loved serving you delicious meals and creating memorable dining experiences. However, as we look to the future, we believe that evolving into a retail space allows us to better serve our community in a new and exciting way. This change will enable us to focus on what we love most—bringing high-quality, unique products to you, our cherished customers. The plan to add quality accommodation upstairs and in the downstairs distillery space will mean we are targeting small numbers which ultimately supports the community’s views on tourism.

our meals support island producers and are already prepared, allowing you to enjoy the island’s great outdoors.

    Preparation Instructions

    The Larder menu have been curated so you can spend more time outside, but you also get to experience the local flavours in your home or accommodation. Our par-baked meals offer several benefits, including convenience, as they significantly reduce preparation time by allowing you to finish cooking quickly at home. They also ensure consistent quality and freshness, as the initial baking process preserves the meal's texture and flavour.

    Our menu is expertly crafted for sharing, featuring a diverse selection of dishes that encourage serving on large plates or boards, communal dining and foster connection through great food. Click here for how to prepare the menu.
