URBAN LARDER opened its doors in Hope Street Yard on the 31st October 2009 – Halloween! Urban Larder brings locally sourced food from farms, orchards, kitchens and homes in the surrounding countryside to the heart of Mill Road.

After much research we found that people in the area wanted to support local farmers and producers and buy local produce; so we have been out and about, but not too far, and sourced some of the finest products from outside the city to bring to your home. We now provide the community with a great selection of  free-range, homemade and sustainable food choices and become a regular part of your weekly shop.

Try our baker ! Dovecote ….. dark and light rye bread, multi seed loafs, sour dough, fresh rolls, sourdough and wholemeal bread. Seasonal vegetables and fruits, a new ice cream company from Saffron Walden – using ALL local produce to produce yummy flavours such as honey and lavender ! As well as fresh produce we hope to make your busier lives easier by stocking a range of ready made meals, tarts, and pies for you to pick up on your way home.  To whet your appetite great vegetarian dishes such as Roasted Red Pepper Lasagna, Vegetable & Hazelnut Wellington, Stilton & Cranberry Tart, and for the carnivores among you we have yummy Salt Marsh Lamb & Mint pie, Suffolk Chicken and Free Range Ham Pies…………all with that home baked taste and style.

To accompany the above we have a great selection of preserves and pickles which no larder should be without…………. Spiced Plum, Hot Apple and Marrow Chutneys,  Suffolk Mud Mustard and last but not least Vampires Repent – a hot plum & habanera Chili combo which will scare off even the most persistent of unwanted visitors.

Other delights include fresh honey on and off the comb - from the the hives at Audley End House, Cam Valley Orchard Apple juice, Suffolk Gold Rapeseed Oil.

Also meat from our own meadows – Red Poll Cam Cattle will be launching at the next Fair – 3rd July
