Larder on Goosegate, The Description
I've done a few things in Boots shops in my time, but never before have I sat down to a supremely comfortable meal in one, let alone the original, going back to 1850. Now totally unrecognisable from its former existence it makes an ideal setting for a rest between shopping, for a spot of supper before you head homewards after the labours of the day are over, or as just a good neighbourhood restaurant, something one is glad to see on the increase.
There is considerable similarity between the a la carte and lunchtime menus, though some variation in portions I would think. Local produce is very much on their minds, and amongst the starters expect to find mixed Skylark Hill Farm goat's cheese crostini, or a salad of skate, fine beans and potato with parsley caper dressing.
Mains come up with a 28 day hung 10ox sirloin steak with hand cut chips, Brixham Harbour fish of the day, or Vale of Belvoir lamb shank with summer vegetables. Puddings weigh in with gooseberry and elderflower mess, summer pudding or a well presented crème brulée. Being where it is there is an ample supply of well kept Colston Basset Stilton to say nothing of some sharp Lincolnshire Poacher.
Any restaurant that publicly honours its suppliers gets my vote - after all they are unsung heroes without whom we would be dependent upon potentially dodgy sources, never mind the quiet satisfaction that comes from eating something locally reared or grown. It is quite a while since I have seen such an impressive list of local suppliers, including the wines supplied by Weavers of Nottingham, and beer from two Midlands brewers.

I picked The Larder for my partner’s birthday night out after I discovered it by chance, and I couldn't have been more pleased that I did. I have never been bowled over so fast by a restaurant’s charm, atmosphere and helpfulness of the staff. The venue is nice and clean, airy but not sparse, while retaining a great atmosphere with comfortable furniture. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful, he knew the menu back to front, and was more than happy to give us all the time we wanted to make the very difficult decisions on what to choose. The menu is focused on good British cuisine. There was plenty of fish, a whole steak menu and enough diversity to ensure there was something new for every one. The wine menu is extensive with some seriously good wines, and also some that won't break the bank. The choice of ports was also worth a look. In a nutshell our food was to die for. I had steak that was cooked to perfection, hand cut chips, which were beautiful and vegetables that weren’t over cooked at all. While we sat and contemplated the small but varied dessert menu, which we eventually declined due to waistline reasons, we were given as much time as we wanted, despite the fact that the restaurant had officially closed thirty minutes earlier. For two courses and wine for two our bill was £70 plus our tip, which was more than deserved. I can't recommend The Larder enough.
