Unassuming and understated, The Larder deliberately avoids the pomp of many inner-city restaurants. Frills and fuss aren’t needed when everything else is done so perfectly.
It seems fitting that The Larder sits in old tea rooms, on the corner of Darlington St in Wellington’s Miramar suburb. It fits into the landscape. There’s nothing to hide – try Jacob Brown’s food or take two minutes to meet the chef and his maitre d’ wife Sarah Bullock and warmth will flood over you.
They opened the suburban restaurant seven years ago, after years working in inner-city establishments. Labels don’t imprison the couple’s scope.
“We’re a suburban restaurant, so we’re all things to all people,” Brown says. They bake bread, serve up poached eggs for breakfast and take people in for lunch, not to mention boasting a seriously impressive dinner menu. “We’ve got all these different things happening in one space.” That effort to cater to everyone, to welcome them and serve them, has meant they’ve assimilated into the community seamlessly.
