Come to market this weekend. We are open...
Happy New Year everyone!
We hope that you had a lovely Christmas and New Year break.
We are back in the swing of things with Swiss Cottage farmers market having already reopened and all our Saturday and Sunday markets reopening this coming weekend on the 6th and 7th January.
Our South Kensington lunch market at Imperial College will reopen on the 9th of January and our Bloomsbury lunch market will reopen on the 11th of January.
In season through January
Game is still in season. Our game stalls will be able to give you tips on how to cook pheasant, partridge, wild duck, pideon, venison, boar etc. Many game stalls have cured and sausage meats too.
This is the time for beetroot, celery, celeriac, kale, kholrabi, parsnips, sprouting broccoli, swede, sprouts and sprout tops, turnips, red and green cabbage, Jerusalem artichokes, and more. All good for hearty winter stews. If you do or if you don't take part in Veganuary where better to get your veg than direct from the farm?
Stored apples and pears will still be avaialable and foced rhubarb will come onto stalls this month.
January Hamper Competition

It is going to be hot in August and what better place to be but with friends at home, eating outside or relaxing around the barbeque. If not at home then at a picnic in the park.

And for picnics you will find scotch eggs, cured ham, cheeses, pickles and all sorts of goodies like strawberries and cream.
