We own a coffee shop ☕️

For those of you who already follow The Henderson’s, Hello again! Earlier this year we said we’d be back in some form or another and we didn’t know when, and when we said goodbye we had no idea that in 6 months we would own a coffee shop.

But here we are! Introducing The Larder! In the heart of Whitstable nestled in Harbour street sits our new adventure. The past month or so has been a whirlwind of emotion but we’re now the proud owners of this wonderful little establishment

For those of you who have followed The Larders journey, Hello! We’re The Henderson’s, a husband and wife team, we cannot wait to see you all for a cup of coffee sometime soon! Many of you already know us, and we want to thank you for sticking with us whilst we take the reins from the magnificent Jono! Thank you so much for your love and support

We’re looking forward to seeing where this new journey takes us and we hope you stick with us to find out.

Five years of The Larder — what have been your best bits? 💛

As Jono gets ready to step back and The Larder moves into its next chapter, he’d love to hear your stories from the last five years.

Perhaps it’s a friendship that started over coffee, a particularly memorable evening, a conversation that stayed with you, or simply the familiar faces that became part of your everyday routine.

Big nights or little moments — what has made The Larder special to you?

For Jono, it’s the people who have made this place what it is. So help us celebrate the community we’ve built together by sharing your favourite memories in the comments. Tag someone who was part of yours, too.

We’d love to hear the stories we know — and especially the ones we’ve never heard. 💛

❤️ A NEW CHAPTER FOR THE LARDER ❤️

After an incredible five years, the time has come for John & Jono to step back from The Larder.

But this is not goodbye to The Larder!

We’re absolutely delighted to say that we have found some brilliant people who will be taking The Larder forward into its next chapter. 🥂

There are still a few things to finalise behind the scenes, but if everything goes according to plan, the transition will happen during November.

We couldn’t be happier that the little business we created will continue — and we’re genuinely excited to see where its next chapter takes it.

Between now and then, there’s still LOTS happening, including some very special events and, of course, a proper Larder send-off for John & Jono. ❤️

Most of all, thank you.

To our amazing team and to every single person who has popped in for a coffee, bought a bottle, joined us for a cocktail, came to an event or simply stopped for a chat — you made The Larder what it is.

We’re not leaving Whitstable. You’ll just find us on the other side of the counter from November onwards. 🍷

Here’s to the next chapter.

The Larder continues. ❤️

John & Jono xx
