THE LARDER LOWDOWN everything you need to know

SPACE REQUIRED

The glass-fronted freestanding Shepton is just 71cm wide and 40cm deep. The freestanding Ardingly cabinet, 86cm wide and 46cm deep, though you need 20cm either side to open its doors. Built-in Neptune larders start at 45cm wide and 71cm deep, going up to 110cm wide.

CONFIGURATION

Neptune’s built-in larders all come with adjustable zig-zag shelving, so you can choose to have tall shelves for jars or shrink them for smaller pots. Neptune also offers bridges that raise up items at the back of shelves, removing the need to hunt.

APPEARANCE

Shelves are solid oak, though a marble cool shelf can be added, and the exterior and interior can be painted in any of the 27 Neptune colours you choose.

THE TECH

Lighting can be added – an automatic opening light comes as standard in the Suffolk larder. An electrician is needed to wire a larder into your home.
