Our Story

Veteran chef Robbie Bell interviews everybody from high profile chefs to cheesemongers to butchers on his food industry podcast ‘Cooking the Books’, but his culinary career is an inspiring story in its own right.

The English-born chef launched much-loved Ivanhoe charcuterie City Larder with wife Rebecca Bell in 2015, as the next chapter in a career he’s spent between UK restaurants and bistros and several years as executive sous chef at Rockpool Bar and Grill.

City Larder, a wholesale supplier of traditional French-style charcuterie that was conceived with small independent retailers in mind, continues to perfect and expand on its variety of locally-sourced charcuterie items. Robbie, a French-trained chef, specialises in handcrafted products including restaurant-quality terrines, pâté, rillettes and pickles. 

​

City Larder offers restaurant quality food to be enjoyed at home:

• Handcrafted

• Restaurant Quality

• Australian Ingredients

Our Products

City Larder’s packaged charcuterie favourites are stocked on many food retailers’ shelves and offers wholesale supplies for restaurants and catering companies. Customers can also pick up City Larder’s free-range variety of premium specialty items from local farmer’s markets to enjoy either a standalone lunch, entrée or charcuterie board that matches perfectly with pickles, chutney and fresh bread.

​

Whether it’s food retailers, restaurants and bars or direct consumers, City Larder’s small-batch quantities of charcuterie are an ideal solution for time-poor individuals and businesses unwilling to skimp on quality.
