I eat it every morning – it’s delicious with yoghurt and fresh fruit.

It feels like I haven’t been at the market for a-a-a-ges, so please come along and say hello :)’

 

Groceries

Storecupboard refills – The Store Cupboard  Anna says “Besides organic Tamari sauce, tahini and nut butter we are happy to introduce another new product that our customers kept asking for: yeast flakes (with extra B12), in bulk, sold by weight. Especially vegans will be happy, as it ups your vitamin B12 levels and adds a nice savoury, cheesy flavour to dishes.

We also have a huge amount of glass jars that customers kindly donated – please help yourself to them when you shop. For free, of course, but we do not take responsibility for the state of the jars.

Our bread is now sold by the bakers themselves. You’ll still find it at the market (with a much bigger range) but not as part of the Store Cupboard anymore.  Bread Bread’s new pitch is in the lower market, next to Brockmans Farm.

You can pay by card or cash. Follow us on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook.  We are also open on Wednesdays from 2-7pm.”

Bakery & pastries –  Bread Bread   Woodfired sourdough bread and pastries, made in Brixton.  Find Bread Bread in their new spot in the lower market, next to Brockmans Farm.

Cheese & charcuterie – Capo Caccia  The best of Sardinian food. Antonio says, “Truly excited about the coppa ham back at the market for a big reunion with the gluten-free salami family! The red wine & spicy sausages will be there too!! The aged pecorino cheese will be visiting as well to spend quality time with the saffron & black pepper brothers cheese, the blue cheeses cousins and smoked and aged ricotta sisters. The olive oil will make the day more juicy and gold!  See you there.”

Bread – Levain Bakery  Chris Masembe and his team at Levain Bakery have a simple philosophy; to make artisan breads to the highest possible standards.

Smokery – London Smoke & Cure. Ross says “All produce is made and prepared in our new smokehouse just down the road in Streatham. Give me a call on 07837 838 241 for any questions or pre-orders. We’re always happy to talk produce and ideas, or just to have a general chat about life and all its wonder. Look forward to seeing you down there.”

 

Wine

Natural wines – Wine Scouts. Organic and biodynamic wines from around the globe.  Samples always offered by Pedro who is a font of wine knowledge, who says, “Hi there! This Saturday we’ll taste the new vintage of an old favourite of my list, the delicious, biodynamic red wine Ops Garnacha Loxarel from Catalonia in Northern Spain. Deep red in colour with purple hints, the wine has aromas of black and red fruits such as blackberry and raspberries, wild rose and herbaceous wild plants. The palate is fresh, balanced and full-bodied with lovely fruit notes. Aged in clay containers. Yum!”
