famers market

April 29, 2009

This place can turn into a 3-wheeler-child buggy race at times with half of London's design agency worker middle class living a stone's throw away.

The food on offer however is good and the Creole fishcakes you can munch on are super deluxe.
The coffee is also pretty tasty.

It's quite small, but big enough for you to get several meals worth of fresh produce for the week.

Ginger and fig bread? Yes please.

September 23, 2008

You've got to be quick on your feet at the Stoke Newington Farmers' Market lest you end up under the wheel of a designer baby buggy or crushed under the sole of a media luvvie's Camper. But jut your elbows out a little and venture in if you dare; all sorts of delicious foodie treats await. My personal favourites are the array of home-made sweet breads just by the entrance (the ginger and fig, and coconut varieties are especially divine), and the crazy mushroom stall. For anything you can't find, you can always duck across the road to Fresh'n'Wild... But if the idea of spending twenty quid on a tin of organic chick peas and a packet of Linda McCartney sausos makes your string bag stand on end, nick down Kingsland Road to Ridley Road Market instead. Ah, marketey goodness!
