Clarke's have a really good selection of meat wehther you like it sliced, diced, chucked, minced, casseroled, braised and the prices are not silly. The pork, beek and lamb I have bought from there has all been from Wales. The mince meat I had looked low in fat. Lamb is always my favourite. If you are not a great cook, its very hard to go wrong with a pre prepared lamb kebab on the skewer with different coloured peppers. Their home made beef burgers are just 70p each. They are more than happy to give you the meaty facts if you want to go in and ask about what you are buying. Bon appetite.

If I want something that they haven't got they will always try and get it for me for the next day. The hot food counter is always busy but everything tastes so good it's worth the wait.

While most of us are trying to get a well earned lie in or nurse a hang over there are many out there setting up stalls to sell their wares and even more getting out there to sample the fresh produce of fruit, meat and cheese sellers and hand crafted materials and jewellery.

There is ample parking as you would expect. The meat is local sourced and of an outstanding quality, I can't believe I used to waste my hard earned money on cheap supermarket meat, the difference in taste is all too obvious. The veg is also local sourced and surprisingly cheap, the veg will stay fresh for much longer than supermarket bought produce. The shop also sells local bread, orangic squash, chilli jam, chilli sauce, eggs, preserves and other organic produce. The Staff are cheerful and are always happy to help.

It's the largest market in the area, with over 30 stalls ranging from vegetables, meat, fish and bread to chocolate, cheese and beer!

No really they do.....listen to my story.... Early to bed, early to rise, makes you healthy wealthy and wise. I wish I had the discipline more often to follow this, because then I'd b able to get up to go to these markets as they are normally open so damn early. I'm an owl you see, a creature of the night if you will. How this happened I don't know, trust me I absolutely crave that deep breath of fresh misty air at dusk. Birds chirping is music to my ears. What is a man to do though surely when for 8 months of the year, it is just not possible!!! That dusk never comes, the moody clouds they doth spoliage my morning sun. The temperatures do so knock my spirits out "cold". I have thus, since as long as I can remember reverted to the warm comforts of my bed sulking and turning my back on the 6am singing birds. They call me still but I listen not!!! I am lost in the night..... Then comes the month of June and then July, when the sun returns and the birds rejoice as I call it water under the bridge and rejoin my fresh air friend and we begin again our summer affair. I return to the markets of am. Here is a good POA!! You see you go for a jog at 6am sharp in the park, there is no one around...perfect.... you want to be alone with your thoughts, none of this ipod rubbish, just listen to the purity of the beat of your heart and the surrounding life, birds,insects,wind et al. It is divine I tell thee. Nothing gets your energy levels back up faster than concluding your jog by a stop at this farmers market. Grab yourself some fresh fruit, some juice, some fish for lunch and anything else you fancy. The natural smells will whip up some natural energy and jump in your step and you are ready to take on the world by the time you've made it home cooked and slammed your breakfast. The market is a launch pad to start your weekend. It beats the hell out of a depressing nature of a loser hang over nursing an ego from another unsuccessful night on the pull...Ah the good old ignorant student days, I miss them NOT!!! You live and you learn........that Wirral farmer's market is the place to be... You never know might meet your soul mate here shopping for some fresh juicy apples just like toi....comprendez?!!
