The Larderhouse, Southbourne, Dorset

I know, I know, it's not technically the South East but having just spent a weekend in and around Bournemouth I have a few reviews to make.

The first of these being The Larderhouse.  This unique little gem is hidden behind a bus stop on the pretty non descript high street of Southbourne in Dorset. 

During the day, this place is a coffee shop but in the evening it transforms into a really quirky eaterie with a relaxed, casual atmosphere.

Decor is understated and a bit rough round the edges, lighting low, buzzy feel to the place.  We hadn't booked which we should have for a Saturday night, but managed to get squeezed in thankfully.  The service was excellent - friendly yet not too much. 

I ordered potted rabbit with sourdough to start, calzone for main. Hubby had a melon and freshly sliced serrano ham starter and the calzone.  Both were absolutely delicious and came pretty quickly. 

I really can't fault the place and would recommend a visit but BOOK your table in advance!
