"This is now called the Atherstone cafe, unbeknown to us, which we only found out upon turning up at what we thought would be the larder, when you google the larder whilst it’s says new ownership and says it is open it doesn’t advise of name change, also the telephone number is now invalid. We now know why!!!We chose the larder as the reviews said the gluten free breakfast was excellent. We were meeting our daughter halfway between Leicester and Solihull and drove 35 mins to get there. The tables are small and crammed together.A lovely young girl served us but it was a bit off putting seeing the splodges of food all over her white top. She then informed us no they no longer do gluten free breakfasts and the chef wasn’t really happy to do me anything due to the allergy. I then asked could they not do me some scrambled eggs in the microwave I had bought my own bread just in case, as you would not believe how many places offer gluten free yet don’t even keep one loaf in the freezer!.So after tooing and frowing it was agreed yes they would do me some eggs.My husband and daughter and her husband all ordered a big breakfast. It was slop!!! Hard bacon cheap sausage tinned tomatoes{could they not have offered me those as well} white bread barely toasted. I’m am not at all surprised they want to get people there thinking it’s the larder.. my advice forget it don’t go... I’m not sure they really want to keep their customers!!!!"

"I had been wanting to visit here for a long time and finally was able to go. I visited with my husband 18 month son and mother in law. Our table was booked a week or 2 in advance, we advised we would need a high chair. We were promptly seated and we asked if we could have a high chair, the server went away presumably to get one. They did not return to the table. When our drink and food order was taken we again asked for a high chair. We were told yes ill get one. This person again did not return until serving our food. I believe my husband approached someone again and asked for a chair and was told there was a large party in that were using the chairs so they were struggling to find one. My son was running about the restaurant as an 18 month old would but fortunately we were seated right by the outside and he was able to have a bit of space to play. Our food arrived and there was still no high chair. I was unable to enjoy my food or eat it when it was hot as I had to have my son on my lap so he could eat his stag bol. This ruined the meal for me. My son didn 't want to stay sat in my lap so I was then taking it in turns with my husband to go outside with our son. From what I had of my meal it was delicious it 's just a shame we couldn 't all eat together and were up and down throughout the visit. Also the food was cold by time of eating. We did on one occasion have a staff member approach the table and apologise about the lack of chair. My husband and Mil were near finishing their food when a high chair appeared. Whilst I was outside with our son a server asked how our food was. My husband told the server we were unable to enjoy it due to our son not being able to be seated properly. We just received a verbal apology. We had coffee after and were not given any sugar. My husband approached the coffee bar and asked for sugar and the man making our drinks seemed really annoyed. He briefly looked up and grimaced and then pointed to another server. I understand he was busy but customer service? I know it might seem easy to say 'control your son to sit at a table ' but it 's a lot easier said than done for some toddlers. I was left disappointed by the experience and seemed like an inconvenience. But I highly rate the food."
