The Chipperfield Larder in Dacorum

So gutted to hear this lovely place has closed down. How sad. They were so popular too! The best scotch eggs around & apple strudel as well as the baklava! Where shall we go now?! Thanks for all the happy memories there and the great service too!

The village has lost a little gem – sadly Vassos has left and the Larder has now closed. A new restaurant has opened up next door and it remains to be seen how good this is.

Chipperfield Larder provided lots of food for a relatives funeral wake. It was all delicious and beautifully presented on platters that I returned to them a couple of days later. A big thank you to them. (This was on 23 September 2021 but I am only just now getting round to writing this review.)

We got a take away pizza from here as a Friday night treat and it was absolutely amazing! Called ahead to order so popped in and it was ready for us on time! Definitely will be ordering again!

Stayed at Two Brewers where I could net get served breakfast at 9.14am.Nothing,literally not a sausage. A fine sausage sandwich and double espresso were provided by a pleasant gent in the Chipperfield Larder,which I cheerfully devoured at an outside table in the morning sun. Thank you,you saved my morning. Recommended.

I thought I couldn’t cope with anymore magic from this place, but Vas has gone and done it again! This time bringing the flavours and class of Italy to chipperfield. Have had so many excellent pizzas from his wood fired oven that I’m a Jean size bigger, full as a lord. Many offer pizzas but there’s only one Greek godfather! If you also suffer from chronic Gluttony, his home made cakes are an obvious choice. Many share them, I don’t. Get down here for the best sandwiches and deli food.

We tried two take away pizzas from here on Friday evening. They were great, really tasty, thin and crispy base. Staff very friendly and it was really well organised with specified pick up time so easy to socially distance. Only reason for 4 stars was the roasted veggie pizza could have had slightly more veggies on it but it was still very good.

Yesterday we ordered two takeaway Pizza’s and a Greek Salad. The food was amazing and really reasonably priced service was incredible friendly, highly recommended we’ll definitely be back thank you.

Okay, so this is so random. I was on my way to see a friend who lives in Kings Langley and my mobile died so lost comms and navigation. Being night time in a panic I looked for a pub or bar so I could get directions. I stumbled across The Chipperfield Larder, a quant and beautiful eatery and delicatessen. The owner was very helpful in providing me with directions and even allowed me the use of his phone. I couldn’t help but notice the smell of baking. Apparently the first Friday of every month is a theme night. The theme for that night was basically pizza! No big deal really, you can get takeaway pizza anywhere that’s good.....not so! The premises has its own clay pizza oven in the back that basically burns logs for cooking the pizzas. I had pepperoni, onions, olives, ham, mushroom and fresh basil. Wow! That was probably one of the best pizzas that I’ve had in a long time. Fresh ingredients and good quality ingredients. I was even asked if I wanted it crispy or a softer base! It tasted amazing and it was filling and left me satisfied. For someone to make pizzas once a month, honestly! Really good pizza! Thank you guys! Long review, but worth it.

Stopped and had lunch here after going for a walk around the commons and through the woods. Excellent jacket potatoes... you can take away if you choose or eat in/outside... Love the friendly atmosphere and obviously very popular with the locals and the staff knew a few people by name... definitely worth a look

My wife and I live just a short walk away and often visit here for a quick coffee or slice of cake, the main guy who runs it is very friendly and seems to know most of his customers by first name, my wife and I often buy the jacket potatoes to take away but you can eat in if you prefer, there is a small space outside the front which is great to sit if the weather is ok. We have also bought the lasagne before to take away which is extremely good, it can be frozen or heated up and it's a really decent portion size you won't need anything else!! They also do wood fired pizzas on certain nights and they are fantastic too, really cheap and 4 or 5 different options as to what you can have. We've not been to one yet but they sometimes have speciality nights where you can go for dinner, our neighbours who have been said these are really good and the food is excellent!

Have Been working locally and been in 2 or three times price changes depending on who’s serving and expensive often got my order wrong won’t be going back.

We always have good food and excellent service when we visit. We recently tried Pizza Night, well l can honestly say the pizzas were the best we have had. Try the chicken with BBQ sauce, the Greek salad was good, my hubby had a good beer, my latte was just as l like it and my 5yr old grandson was very impressed with the pizza. We must do this again. We live in Norfolk, but were visiting our daughter who regularly uses the Larder. Thank you Vas, see you soon.

I absolutely love the larder- consistently tasty food and terrific service. This coupled with Vas’ Greek banter make it a regular stop! Excellent value for money. Kitchen also spotless!

We often visit this quaint cafe as the staff are friendly & the food is good. It has the best breakfast, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, large sausage, baked beans, toast & butter & a coffee of choice for the grand total of £6.50 per person. The deli counter also offers goodies such as samosa, roast beef cheese etc. This place is well worth a visit.

Great quality food .. best coffee around for miles and highly recommend. Friendly out going staff .... lovely little coffee shop great breakfast best around for miles .. lots of home made goodies

Called in today for Lunch decent sandwich , pot of tea ! was called sir and a gentleman , lovely little place. hot food looked good too will be back for that .

This is a lovely café that takes pride in its food and other offerings i.e. the deli counter and freezer with pre prepared excellent meals.

I had a quick lunch with my grandson here. The food was delicious and the service quick and friendly.

We love coming here for the quiet unpretentious and friendly staff serving solid meals and drinks Great coffee and cakes too!!

Always pop in when working in the area. The best scotch eggs you will find anywhere. Rest of the food looks fantastic (but a bit harder to eat when driving). Always busy. Well worth a look.

This place from the outside looked very nice but small, however, when we walked inside we were surprised to find it was a friendly not too big nor small resturant. Tanles well spaced and a good number for two people. I had a very tasty panini with brie and bacon with a lovely side salad and crisps. My friend had scrambled egg on toast which was well presented. My friend enjoyed hers very much as i did mine. The service was good the waitress friendly and efficient. I bought a lemon drizzle cake to take home whivh had been made there. It was delicious. We will return soon.

Worth a visit. With an ambience of its own, friendly and welcoming staff, serving the locals and passers-by in good measure. Food is very tasty and portions satisfying. An all-round "nice place" to have a deli-type lunch.

Popped in here as i was passing through this lovely village for a coffee and was really surprised by how good the coffee was, made to perfection, grabbed a very fresh and tasty sandwich too. Staff very friendly.

Ir al Chipperfield Larder es normalmente un desayuno o almuerzo. Cuando vas sugirió tener una noche griega salté directamente a reservar una mesa. La comida era increíble y yo soy vegetariano las opciones eran interminables, platos de la increíble auténtica comida griega seguía viniendo! Carnívoros o no este era simplemente increíble. No puedo esperar para el próximo evento de noche.

Un salto hacia una noche mediterránea en el restaurante Larder ayer! Increíble selección de auténtica comida griega de carnes frías, langostinos, calamaris, pan casero y alimentos caseros de Sav y el equipo.

Instalación local/deli almuerzo. . . Vaz no mejor col por millas. . Precioso local y amable. . . Café y personal.

Fresh food made to order, prices are great! Take away available and eat in, although only 7 or 8 tables inside and a few outside. Traditional cafe.The owner is great and remembers faces so will always ask how you're keeping which I think is really lovely!

Traditional and non traditional! Lovely atmosphere and place, really good food and always busy. Highly recommended. Scotch eggs are amazing.

Been visiting this place for many years and my recent visit was as good as the first.Consistently fresh and good home cooked food and some great coffee.Offers takeaway and eat-in options, from sandwiches made to order, to baked potatoes and takeaway shepherds pie.Worth a visit if you are in the area.

If you don't like it here you must be out of your box! Best food in the area from breakfast to cakes. Pie night is brilliant with lovely homemade pies and an incredible local dj playing everything from chaz and dave to motown floor fillers! Very friendly and attentive staff- if you've not been get yourself down there *****

Two items we ordered were out of stock. Very basic ingredients and both described . on the menu,this seemed a little strange and disappointing. friendly,and apologetic,staff I thought the plastic table coverings could benefit from a little T.L.C.

Often call in for lunch or ring ahead to collect - food is very good as is the friendly staff and service. Nice for lunch or just call in for a hot drink and a snack. Brown baguettes are particularly good. Good value and good portions. Also you can buy prepared meals.

Small but lovely little cafe/delicatessen in the village surving sandwiches and drinks for take out or eat in. We had a baguette and paninis with both coming with salad and a few crisps and a hot drink each.Very busy with lots of people in for take outs and various home made cakes etc. Food tasty and made fresh to order with friendly service.

We had a lovely lunch at The Chipperfield Larder. The staff were lovely and could not do enough for us. I had a baked potato with cheese which came with salad and was delicious. My 95 year old mum was delighted with her lunch out and can't wait to visit again!!!! Would definitely recommend a visit.

Great little gem! "Not fast food, but fresh food fast"!Lovely deli with a great welcoming attitude. Had a fabulous BLT with cafe latte! Can't wait for the next visit!!

We regularly eat at the larder, they are great for either a take away sandwich or for a real treat their breakfasts are fantastic and great value. You must try their freshly made scotch eggs and quiches - they are a real treat! The staff are friendly and you always feel welcome. Would recommend

This is a very small café with only a few tables but it has a cosy and warm atmosphere, including a couple of easy chairs near the fire. The food is home made and includes all day breakfast, light bites and desserts. The service is efficient and friendly and on a cold winter's day, it's a nice place to relax with friends.

Yesterday my son and I both ordered potatoes in their jackets with delicious fillings. Surprise surprise! It was a beautifully presented plate of food with a lovely colourful salad including homemade coleslaw - what a sumptuous feast!!What really impressed me was the individual attention given to every customer in such a friendly way. Thank you!!Ursula

I have been coming here for breakfast and lunch for years, whenever they aren't open which is on a Sunday and I try somewhere else I'm always left disappointed because it's just not the Chipperfield larder breakfast. All their produce they sell is so fresh and just pure quality and you would think it would put a dent in your wallet but it doesn't!! Even their coffee is roasted in Hemel Hempstead!! My breakfast with a cappuccino is only £6!!! No brainer! Lovely staff and amazing food, very very happy customer as always :) xxx

A great spot for lunch where home cooked and freshly prepared food is served. We ate a toasted cheese sandwich and chicken mayo baguette. These were full of filling and served with salad and crisps. Not cheap but good quality. The shop also offers home made quiche and cakes to take away.

Clare's second year @ this restaurant. It was a nice time & although Clare's birthday was on a Sunday & I expected there to be a roast dinner on the menu there wasn't it was quite upsetting actually as they never seem to do roast dinners there.

a quaint place with good tea and friendly staff... would be even better if they supplied newspapers to read!!

Great food & great staff, my family all love going here for lunch. My daughters favorite place to go when on the school holidays. It's a real treat.

I only stopped for a coffee as I had already had lunch but I regretted this decision as soon as I saw other people's food coming out. The coffee was great so will certainly be back again to try the food!

Tasty coffee and lemon cake and my colleagues toasted sandwich looked and smelled delicious. Would definitely come back again and try some more!!

We usually lunch here on Fridays. Their scotch eggs are excellent. Salads with ham, quiche, beef, turkey pie all really good. Jacket potatoes with lots of toppings. Great food very good value. Better than the local pubs.

Vaz & his team always provide good food . The atmosphere is Good and relaxed . I was with an old friend when we stopped late , Vax cooked his usual excellent breakfast although we held him up . I have been going to the larder for many years it still provides the best fresh breakfast for money that I know. So go & try one or any of there excellent sandwiches. I shall definitely be back for another one soon.

I have been visiting the larder since I was a young boy and the staff are always friendly and the food always makes me return.

Had a lovely cake with our coffee after a relaxing walk in the countryside. Nice place, great service. Fancy trying their breakfast next!

Just been for lunch here with two friends. Vanilla milkshake was so good! And I had a jacket potato with chilli and cheese. Lovely and hot, chilli had great flavour and came with h coleslaw and salad. Perfect hidden place to eat!

The ladder is a friendly local cafe with some amazing food no junk food served .. All home made and fresh .. Cosy little cafe

When I started working in the area and needed to find somewhere to get lunch that wasn't from a packet, I was delighted to find such a nice friendly place with great fresh and delicious food, the owner and his staff couldn't be any nicer with excellent service. There's a wide selection to choose from, with home made meals and cakes, you'll be tempted by everything on offer! I would recommend Chipperfield Larder to anyone looking to sit down to eat or take away.

This is a lovely spot to pop and have a great coffee and some fantastic food. The service is very friendly. You can't beat the lovely guy who runs the place!

I have passed this place many times and thought it was way to posh for me to go into. Went in there today in work clothes and was warmly welcomed and also had the best coffee I've ever had in there. And I drink a lot of coffee!

Amazing food here made fresh from local suppliers, I really love coming here for a bite to eat or getting a selection of there food to take home. You really need to try there scotch eggs and pork pies!!! Just the most yummy thing. Defiantly a must to try if your in the area!

As I work locally as the village warden I have tried all the local eateries and find the larder to be the best, it has a wonderful friendly atmosphere with all the staff being very polite, cheerful and welcoming, all the food I have tried there has been top notch and the coffee is the best in the area without a doubt, the cooked breakfast in particular is possibly the best I have ever had and the various sandwiches/rolls I have tried have all been very tasty.All in all I have no reservations in recommending The Chipperfield Larder.

I discovered the Larder recently, and I can't recommend it higher! The staff are lovely, and the place is so cute. It's in a great location, just down the road from the common and Chipperfield woods. Such a good spot to grab a sandwich and a coffee from after a long walk in the countryside! I've been back a few times since my first visit...one word of advice, if you're planning on going, get some potato salad! IT'S AMAZING! I'll even say it's better than my mums...

Delicious food, to eat in or take away, and all home made.... You have to try the scotch eggs....There is a reason that it's been here so long it's fantastic

As I work locally I often go to the larder for lunch, the food is delicious and made fresh to order!! There is always a great selection and the staff are warm and welcoming!! I would definitely recommend the larder to anyone wanting fresh tasty food!!

Breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea and delicious cakes, whatever the occasion The Larder delivers good food, good service and a warm welcome.

Great food .quick service .all home made A regular stop off for leasure or more formal catch ups with friends and colleagues

i'ts great to know in my own village is the perfect coffee shop the larder has great staff Vaz and team always have a smile on their faces and a warm welcome great service all fresh food and selection of cheeses ready to eat and then you can buy more to take away. Well worth a visit

We have eaten here many times in the past is ok for a very quick sandwich but prices are so expensive for what you get. Deli's are supposed to have nice fresh artisan breads etc but what you get here is cheap part baked baguette's but for the price of real quality. Agree with other reviewers, Panini's are part baked baguette's placed in sandwich maker. Must say they do good frozen pies though. If you want a real treat, try Fred and gingers down in Kings Langley high street, just down the road!!!

The staff are nice and is a nice setting. The menu never changes and the products are very expensive for what they are. If you order a Panini you get a half baked baguette that's put into the sandwich maker. The half baked baguettes that are used leave you feeling very thirsty. The chicken and bacon sandwich filler is disgusting, really processed chicken is used and feels rubbery in your mouth. The all day breakfast is nice and probably the best value meal in there but again leaves your mouth feeling like Ghandi's flip flop

This is a small deli/cafe with seating inside and a couple of tables outside. It's an ideal stop for anybody who has been walking in the surrounding countryside. The food is homemade and includes sandwiches, jacket potatoes, salads and all day cooked breakfasts. The full English breakfast is excellent value for money because it comes with toast and a hot drink for only £6. There are also desserts and cakes available.

A deli with gorgeous homemade quiches and pastries.Tea in a teapot with milk in a jug and not a capsule.They are happy to give hot water when it gets too strong.Good quality cards and gifts,jams and posh biscuits. A really super place.

We stopped here for a Saturday morning plant buying session and took advantage of a cooked breakfast in the on site café. Superb brekkie and lovely friendly staff. Cakes looked good too, but that will be for another visit when in the area.

Met a colleague for a catchup meeting and was impressed by the coffee, service and especially the cake. Great old style (proper) deli come coffee shop. Will visit again.

I popped in for a breakfast on a Saturday morning and had the best breakfast ever! I had to buy some of their fresh eggs to take away because they just tasted so good! Lovely quaint cottagey atmosphere and the staff are very friendly. Love the deli as well, the fridges bursting with scrumptious freshly made salads and selection of cold meats and cheeses. Worth a visit.

Regular visitor here, great fresh rolls and homemade food, the 'deli' is good as well for all sorts of locally produced stuff

Couldn't ask for more really. Great well presented food with friendly staff most of the time. A little pricey but the food is good so acceptable.

We called in here to buy some bread. This restaurant / shop sells a number of different breads, including panninis (filled). We asked for two unfilled panninis - the face on the man behind the counter pulled, we might have asked for a pile of dog poo; which followed by a very no. We did manage to "persuade" him to sell us teo bagettes. We wont be back.

Went here after reading reviews on Tripadvisor. the food we had was ok, obviously the food is not all home made as they were unfortunately having a delivery from brakes frozen foods, but that said.. it was a nice enough sandwich, my average score is for the food not the service which was very good. This is an old fashioned style shop which is a nice change to see, unfortunately due to its location We would return when walking in the area again purely because of the warm welcome we received.

Very pleasant friendly little place nice quality food, home cooked with various options, limited parking outside

The service here is very quick, but nice and friendly.breakfasts( all day) are first class or you can have a toasted sandwich or just tea and cake or coffee.

try the homemade scotch eggs.owner and staff always friendly.would recommend to anyone visiting the area

Wow .. If you want a freshly made sandwich this is the place to come ! Vaz the owner makes the best in Hertfordshire ... Freshly made bread .. Quality meats and local produce to boot ! First class worth a visit.

Brillant coffee, Lovely breakfast, very good service and fanstic deli. Nice setting too. You are always made very welcome in this busy establishment, that is never to busy for you.

We stayed at the 2 Brewers pub at the road and as the service for food was not great decided to try somewhere else for breakfast, and we were very glad we did because we found this place. Only about 200yds from the Pub, this cafe was a real find. The owner and staff were very friendly and efficient and the food was all home made and excellent quality. So good that we ended up eating there for the next 2 days as well.If you are in the area, do stop and have a breakfast bite (the homemade cake was lovely too!)

This is a beautiful little place, the first thing you notice as you walk in is he traditional and personal layout. its Perfect for tea and coffee and a light lunch. The staff and attentive and friendly and the atmosphere totally suits the building.. By that i mean it almost transports you to a different time, takes away your stresses and it makes you tea that extra bit enjoyable. You can tell its well looked after, its squeaky clean and appropriately decorated. If you are in chipperfield looking for a place to go and maybe take some close friends for a drink, the Chipperfield Larder is perfect for you.

I go there sometimes twice a week for my take away sandwiches and they do the beat cold slaw and scotch eggs I have ever tasted I also eat in there too they do a lovely ham of the bone salad please try it you won't be disappointed ,

The Larder is a little gem on the corner. Takeaway sandwiches/Coffee shop/teas/light lunches etc. and a lovely little deli as well. Staff and service are great too. Highly recommended.
