The Story
Over 50 years of fresh produce experience, now delivered directly to homes across Surrey.
From Fresh Connect to Larder
For more than 50 years, our family-run business, Fresh Connect, has supplied first-class fruit, vegetables and whole-food ingredients to restaurants, schools and catering businesses across London and the South East.
When the pandemic arrived and our hospitality customers faced enormous challenges, we began delivering that same quality produce to families in our local Surrey community.
What started as a way to help local households access fresh food during an uncertain time grew into something much bigger: Larder
Today, Larder brings the produce trusted by professional chefs directly to your door, alongside bread, meat, dairy and carefully selected pantry essentials from independent suppliers we know and trust.
The why
We believe good food begins with good ingredients.
Our aim is to make it easier for busy households to eat well, cook from scratch and enjoy genuinely fresh food without relying on the supermarket.
We choose produce for its quality, freshness and flavour, working closely with growers, bakers, butchers and independent suppliers. We buy seasonally wherever possible and avoid unnecessary packaging and over-processed shortcuts.
It’s simply excellent food, carefully sourced and delivered to your home.
Where We Work
Our home in Betchworth, Surrey gives us direct access to the farms and growers we work with across the South of England. We collect directly from producers in Surrey, Sussex, Kent, and the New Forest, allowing us to pack and deliver quickly, efficiently, and always with a smile.
From Our Family to Yours
Our refrigerated vans deliver six days a week, with no
subscription and no commitment. Just high-quality, whole food ingredients when
you need them.
We’re proud to support our local community, and we can’t
wait to deliver something fresh to your table.
