THE LARDER HOUSE is a restaurant & bar that serves pure passion for ingredients. We pay homage to the origins of true food, whether local or from around the world.  

Our cooking is based around fire with the heart being our wood fired oven.  We have recently added a BBQ charcoal grill to enhance your experience.  The scent of burning wood & charcoal is evident as you are welcomed.

Beyond what we offer now is a lot of learning where we are pushing ourselves to be ambassadors to the foods and drink that we all personally love to enjoy.
