Welcome to The Loose Larder
Promoting Sustainable Shopping
Local Sustainability Pangbourne
We are a small refill store in the heart of Pangbourne providing a wide range of unpackaged food such as pasta, rice, grains, cereals, nuts and seeds, herbs and spices, loose teas and coffee ground while you wait.
Bring along your own tubs and containers and fill them with delicious goods to take back for your kitchen cupboards and top up your kitchen, utility and bathroom cleaners with our range of household cleaning liquids.
Shopping in this way means we can all help reduce the impact we are having on the environment by reducing the amount of plastic that has become part of our everyday lives. Many of our customers are surprised about how low cost it is to buy like this too. You can choose to buy little and often or fill up your larger containers to stock your store cupboard.
If you have forgotten your containers, or just decide to drop in on the spur of the moment, we can bag your loose goods in our paper bags and we have a selection of bottles and containers to purchase for your household cleaners.
Opening Hours
The Loose Larder is open 9.30am – 3pm Wednesday to Saturday.
If we are closed, pop into our sister shop, Cheese Etc, just along the road and one of the team will be happy to open The Loose Larder for you.
We look forward to seeing you.
Who We Are
The Loose Larder is the sister shop to Cheese Etc, The Pangbourne Cheese Shop.
Owners Ali & Jen had been looking for more space for storage, a workshop kitchen and to create a cheese tasting room, and were delighted to find a building practically next door.
