Queen’s Larder

The West End


This cheery local favourite takes its name from Queen Charlotte, who previously stored food here for her husband George III, during his nearby treatment for insanity. The food today is very English (think Spam with chips and beans) and served daily from noon to 3pm, while the snug bar is augmented by a few outside tables and an upstairs dining room.
