About the employer

At Laura’s Larder, we’re all about sharing lovingly curated culinary gems and supporting small businesses and local food companies who you won’t find in your local supermarket. Think: a little slice of London’s famous Borough Market - on Fairway. We have an extensive cheese and deli counter, there’s fresh bread and cakes (delivered or baked daily), gorgeous locally roasted coffee, charcuterie, British condiments, local farm eggs, house-made salad and ‘slaw (to my own special recipe), baked in-house pork pies and traditional, golden-crusted sausage rolls. As well as food, we offer another larder staple - eco-friendly refill cleaning and laundry products from Fill who run a closed loop and make everything at their family-run factory in Northamptonshire. No single use plastic bottles. Less waste.
