The Fleetville Larder — Restaurant in St Albans

Went in there as another cafe nearby wasnt open, wish i had stayed at home. Full lunch menu only takes up 1 x a5 paper! About 10 foods on menu, appaling cake selection the only thing i ordered from the 'cakes' was a flapjack as there wasnt any actual cakes eg. Victoria sponge, red velvet cake, banana bread, there was only a flapjack, bakewell tart and something else that i cant remember. Good range of cheeses, there was a fairly good range of drinks, except that if you wanted a glass you the waitress told you to go and get a glass from the front of the shop, which obviously weren't dried with a towel as the top one i picked up was wet on inside. But when order came coffees are so strong i could still taste it when i got home, and i dont like coffee light. Would not go again even if nowhere else is open, waste of £20 next time ill just make some toast...

The fleetville larder is a lovely shop, in st Albans. It sells cheeses, coffees, foods, wines, like a small Deli. The atmosphere was really nice, quite busy, and the staff were very kind. They were very helpful, and the whole experience was great. The cheese selection is large, and the taste of them is great. They also stock confectionary items, like shortbread biscuits, and Tony's chocolony. The only fault, was the price of some things seemed a little excessive, ( Tony Chocolony was 4.75 compared to 3.50 in tescos) but it is a smal local business, so that seems reasonable for it to be a little pricey. Overall, a really great shop, and will definitely recommend,...

Visited on 23May2019 for a cheese and wine tasting. Cheese, charcuterie and breads from the Fleetville Larder, wines from Flagship Wines. Guest speaker was Jeremy Borg of Painted Wolf Wines, ZA.

Wines and foods all fantastic, full of flavour. Loads of anecdotes and winemaking technical stuff from Mr Borg.

Well worth the effort to visit.

The Larder stocks a wide range of delicatessen, including other local produce, one of which is Black Bridge Distillery's range of gin...
