There is fresh fish and we love the smoked salmon pate from Whitby. The vegetables and plants allways look nice and fresh. The pies and cakes etc. look good but we havent had a try yet.The stall olders seem to remember everybody and if they haven't got something they usually have will offer to get it for next week.And no excuses you are told either its all gone or they didnt bring any or whatever. Nothing blamed on the computer!

We made a special trip to the German Christmas Market (Christkindlesmarkt) in York last year, 2007…read more We were bitterly disappointed. If there was a dozen stalls and that was about it. Two of them were selling a very watery Glühwein and one had traditional wooden toys. The rest could have been on any market, anywhere. There was an excellent hot food stall selling wursts, hot poatato salad and pork schweinbraten, lovely. There was plenty of bench seating but no atmosphere whatsoever. The stall holders looked bored rigid.

I love Markets - they seem to be dying out somewhat though which I think is really sad…read more Newgate Market can be found in York City centre just behind the shambles and has been there since the middle ages. What's brilliant about the Market is that it doesn't run on a specific day of the week as most town's markets do. Newgate market is there everyday! A lot of the stalls change - some days you may find hand made jewellery, the next antiques. But you can always be assured to find a couple of excellent quality fruit and veg stalls as well as pet supplies, another regular is socks/pajamas stall, and there is generally always a stall offering accessories for your mobile phone. During the winter months the market spills out onto Parliament street and is called St Nicholas fair' . I highly recommend getting hats scarves and coats on and have a look. It's wonderfully christmassy and there's always lovely festive roast chestnut stalls adding to the all important Christmas ambiance

The shop is very well-stocked with all the sorts of things you'd expect; speaking from experience, the quality of their produce is very good although the prices are a shade on the high side. The pick-your-own area is well laid out and again, the quality is certainly there -- we picked stacks of raspberries and enjoyed them very much. There's plenty of parking, the staff are friendly and welcoming -- all in all, we couldn't recommend this place highly enough.

I don't know if they still do this but they used to grow strawberries and other fruits that you can go and pick and these were grown to perfection and if they still do this then I definitely recommend it.

I didn't actually believe that anything substantial, let alone good, could take place in the small rose garden outside of the bar, The Arc, in Headingley. It just looked too small. But when I went last weekend it was like the space had magically morphed and increased in size! There were stalls selling organic vegetables, fruit, cheese, local wine, local meat, cakes, bread, Indian food, eggs, even a stall selling plants from a nursery in Pudsey. They had some pots of raspberry stems but I was on my bike so I couldn't get them home. Fortunately, I got their card and might pop along during the week to pick some up as they were a good price and I know they will work on the allotment as they have been grown in Leeds. Besides the market stalls there was a live band! This made it for me as usually at farmers markets you want to linger a bit but once you've made your purchases can't really find a reason to but the band was the perfect Saturday morning entertainment. If you haven't been down you better give it a go!

With stalls selling tasty organic vegetables, free-range eggs the size of your palm, fresh fish and meat, artisan cheeses and a whole host of seasonal, local treats, this market, held the second Saturday of each month, turns the weekly shop into a day out in its own right. There are always plenty of free samples to taste, and with each purchase helping to support local farmers and keep your food miles low, stuffing your face has never felt so good!

I was just randomly taking a drive around Leeds when I spotted a big pick your own strawberry sign…read morein a field. I got a huge rush of excitement and had to pull right there and then as i'd always wanted to go strawberry picking but never got round to it. The car park is a bit muddy at the moment after the wet weather we've been having but they have kindly put down straw to help prevent you getting stuck which is thoughtful. I have been twice this week since finding the place and both times the guys working there have been super friendly. There is a small hut were you collect your baskets from and pay when you've collected. Then there's two strawberry fields and a rasberry field too. My son adored picking raspberries he was so greedy I think far more when in his stomach than his basket. I did worry at first about how safe it was for him to eat unwashed fruit but franky there was stopping the kid anyway and I figured a tummy ache would teach for next time but so far no ill side effects have been seen. He is nearly two and I think he felt really grown up and independant picking and eating the berries by himself. I was happy to leave to roam free a bit and just enjoy himself. I thought this was an idea spot for taking children as its gets them outside in the fresh air and allows them to see where their food come from. Plus picking the fruit themselves might make the less fussy about eating it. Also its far cheaper than the local supermarket prices too so you can save a bit of money too.

I was so touched by the warm greetings we received from Robert and the staff and impressed by the alterations made to the eating section.

I do hope they continue trading for many years and thank everyone again, including Michael/Jono in the meat section, for their loving care. Definitely gold star from my daughter and me.

TL;DR - Great venue but a victim of its own success…read more Alty market set the tone for most of the food halls which you can now find across Manchester, and it remains one the biggest and best. The venue itself is gorgeous, with a craft market taking up half the building and a food hall in the other half. All the options at the food hall are great - you won't be disappointed. But the biggest issue we've always faced here is that it's so popular you can't always find a table. There's plenty of seating, it's just that the place is so popular it's always full which is frustrating if you've taken the trip to visit.
