The larder is, without question, the most important room in the house as far as Mrs Squirrel is concerned.

Stocked to the brim with artisan nuts, olives, golden nectar olive oil and all manner of delicious discoveries, it is the beating heart of the home. The kitchen table comes a close second, always ready for someone to pop in for a cuppa or perhaps a glass of something a little more tempting.

Make sure your shelves are brimming, because nothing beats a proper catch up shared over good conversation and even better nibbles. Simple, generous and full of warmth, just the way it should be.
