Important Announcement - things at The Larder Club are changing...
It's with mixed emotions we share that when we close on 31st December we won't be re-opening at 3 Blake Street.
Like so many other businesses within the hospitality industry, we’ve faced many challenges and with increasing rent and overheads it is heartbreaking to have to take the decision to cease trading here at our flagship location.
We are incredibly proud of what we've achieved since opening…we've provided employment to five women from HMP Askham Grange, provided training to more individuals both in the deli and inside the prison including mock interviews, customer service skills and barista skills training, we’ve received fantastic reviews from you all putting us up there in the rankings for top lunch spots in York and we’ve met and worked alongside amazing people who have changed our lives.
Our passion for rehabilition still stands firm as does our passion for hospitality. So, after we've had chance to reflect, regroup, replan…and spend a bit of family time together, we hope to open up in new premises, maybe with a few tweaks but our ethos, cause and most probably our food will remain pretty much true to what they are today. There are lots of challenges to overcome to get us to that place so we welcome any support you may be able to offer, whether it's letting us know of new available premises or just keeping our moral and hopes alive by staying in touch.
The support we've had from our friends, families, HMP Askham Grange and of course our customers has meant the world to us, we appreciate everything all our supporters have done for us, right from the beginning and also more recently and we live in hope for the continuation of The Larder Club. Most importantly, we are truly sad to lose our truly fantastic staff members, and it’s heartbreaking to have to say goodbye to them for now, thank you for all your hard work and energy you've put in.
Until 4pm on 31st December we remain open so do pop in, come and say goodbye for now, we'd love to serve you one last time.
And for now, we wish everyone a fantastic Christmas and Happy New Year.
