I went in 2 different times: saturday at 3pm and wednesday at 10am. Two completely different vibes. I tried the famous sandwich from the black pig, viral chocolate covered strawberries and bread ahead. Black pig - the best one sandwich: it was AMAZING!!! I was a bit scared to get this since i was by myself but let me tell you, it was not heavy as i expected it to be. Just delicious overall and would totally recommend. Chocolate strawberries: I love strawberries and chocolate but definitely think you can find cheaper alternatives anywhere in london. Bread Ahead: my new favorite pastry place. I pretty much got a donut from this place (not this location) everyday because the black currant cheesecake donut was that good. I got the tiramisu and crème brûlée donut which my brother liked and i wish i could've tasted them before they went bad but anyways, I would totally recommend the donuts from here! Their chocolate chips cookies are HUGE and delicious as well. This was probably one of my favorite markets!

On a weekday you have plenty of your classic cockney fruit & veg sellers but also increasingly stalls selling things like ostrich burgers and last time I was in town on a Saturday there was enough street food to rival some of the great central London markets. There's also way more space to sit than any of those markets, and even if you can't find a spot in the market place you are seconds away from the riverfront which is also all re-done and fancy. Also remember you are close by the Coronation Stone, upon which 7 kings were crowned in the 900s! Yeah...I love Kingston. And I know a disturbing amount of obscure historical facts about it.

It appeared to be a great success; a real pleasure to see, and taste, seasonal produce, from artisan producers and growers located within 100 miles of the M25. I was thrilled to find my favourite russet apples on sale (first of the season and totally scrumptious, with a very crisp texture and slightly 'nutty' taste). I also relished some wonderful fresh Buffalo cheese - amongst the best I have ever bought or savoured - expensive but well worth it. Other appealing stalls included the chilli stand with pretty plants and a range of fresh varieties; fabulous goats cheese from petite crottin to larger examples - plain, herbed, ash- coated and peppered. Note to organisers: please, make it a regular event here!

It's nit a farmer's market in the sense that there are tons of fruit & veg stalls. To me it seems more like a delightful slow food market. I had a delicious Buckwheat gallette (a kind of crepe) with spinach, French brie & cranberry sauce while enjoying the sunshine. Everything was prepared from scratch, so I had to wait patiently. Other stalls were offering fresh coffee, Ethiopian, Indian, North African and middle eastern foods...plus a gluten-free cake stall. It was so peaceful with people just strolling about to the music of the fountain in the center of the courtyard. Very classy, very nice!

Being an American transplant in London, I've been dying to go to a pumpkin patch since the weather…read morestarted turning cooler, the leaves started falling and out popped the scarves. Carving pumpkins is my favourite thing to do round Halloween time. (That along with watching Hocus Pocus on about a bagillion times!) I did a quick google search for pumpkin picking, and from pumpkinpatchesandmore.org, I was pointed in the direction of Crockford Bridge Farms. From the website, it looked pretty sweet! It was more than just pick your own, including a restaurant, coffee shop, ice cream, aquarium, and farm shop. Sadly, I had fooled myself into thinking I might have the same experience back at home: hay rides, hot apple cider, pumpkin pie and cake, rows and rows of pumpkins in a patch, maybe a corn maze. Yeah, not really. They did have a TeePee though, which I found kinda odd. And they certainly had enough tall corn to do a maze! It was more like a garden centre than anything. I can't really describe it accurately because I've never been to a place like it before. They had loads of fish tanks, complete with angel fish to puffer fish. They also sold fireworks for Guy Fawkes Night, with names like Big Mama's and Devil's Crotch (or something of that variety). And they had a huge horse-sized unicorn and camel stuffed animals. The farm shop bit had the pumpkins, and along with it various jams, cakes, and fresh produce. It even had an American section with the likes of Stove Top and Skippy peanut butter in it. As for the pumpkins, instead of being out in the field where they might get "stem rot", they were packed into giant wooden crates to pick from. I can't say the trip was all for naught though, as I did get super excited about picking out my pumpkin! I even bought a pumpkin carving kit to go with it. I guess the whole Halloween in the UK thing might never catch on. At least the ride to and from was pretty scenery.

Well, it turns out it was worth it. This place is dedicated to local Farmers who are growing and raising the produce themselves. After reading 'The Omnivore's Dilemma' by Michael Pollan earlier this year (I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know how the food gets on your table) I have developed a keen interest in buying my food in this way, and it appears so have a lot of other people as these kind of farmer's markets are increasing substantially in popularity. This market is held weekly in the grounds of a local school and has a very good choice of organic vegetables & fish as well as free range meat (chicken, beef, lamb, pork, sausages, bacon). You can also find buffalo mozzarella, fruit juices, cold cuts and yoghurt. The stall holders are very keen to explain how it may have been grown, reared and caught and although it's a little more expensive than your local supermarket the pay-off is taste, quality and ultimately your health.

I didn't think it was much at the time when I lived in South Croydon, but now I really do miss places like this. I miss wandering "down to town" and passing this market and then wandering pass it again on the way home. It was a great place, full of vibrant people, a decent selection of stalls including ones that sold fresh fruit and veg, bags, purses, books, watches, pendants, antiques, flowers, specialty foods and the list goes on. In general, the number of stalls increased during the weekends. As with most outdoor markets, there's potential for haggling if you're into that kind of thing. There's also a lot of trash, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder... keep your eyes peeled for bargains in the summer, such as freshly plucked berries at an amazing price! Towards closing time (around 5:00 pm), there were lots of bargains that could be had: 1 pound for this or 1 pound for that. That is if you can understand the locals, screaming in cockney rhyming slang. There is nearby street parking, but the best bet would be to park near the city centre and walk down. I was lucky enough to live within walking distance of this market.
