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!

There are often little tastings on hand to whet your appetite. The creative fruit juices from the Cotswolds are delicious; the fruit and veg are tasty but costly; the organic bakery goodies are alluring.

The producers are all relatively local, many are organic, and all are happy to discuss their means of production with you (which is the main attraction of buying locally, I think). You can often get some decent fish, some excellent pies, some nice sausages (they grill some up to sell on a bun, too, if you skipped breakfast), and several good cheeses. Of course there are also breads and plenty of veg too. Roughly 10 to 12 stalls in all, probably, and they vary a bit from week to week. Edit: 10-May-08. Just back, and this market's better than ever. Did my weekly shop. Eggs, fresh bread, lamp chops, lettuce, tomatoes, venison sausages, and takeaway pork and stuffing sandwiches for lunch. Bumped the stars from 3 to 4.

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.

Since this is now one of London's most Indian/SE Asian nabes, I thought it might be a bit more funky in content and possibly have some nice grub as well. Unfortunately, it's pretty much run-of-the mill discount veggies, low end clothes, assorted sundries and a caravan selling tean and cakes. I wouldn't bother traveling there and likely wouldn't visit if I lived next door... not a single this was unique. But if you want 5lbs of carrots for a quid, I guess it would work.

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!
