The service is excellent and they will order things for you if you want something they dont stock. There is a post office, without the usual queues in post offices nowadays. The cafe is excellent value for money, good service, local home baked foods, yummy cakes and desserts, cooked foods or a simple sandwich, (freshly made, with salad and crisps on the side). The cafe is very popular but not noisy. I am disabled and this shop is a godsend as I cant walk around big shops and supermarkets but I can get most things here.

We visited this market recently and really loved the energy of it. There are the traditional tents…read morefilled with fresh fruits and veggies; but there are also tents with beautiful clothing, luggage, handmade items, etc. I'm traveling the world with just a small backpack, so I'm not doing much shopping these days, but the food items I bought were fresh and delicious. I loved that everything was put in paper bags, not plastic. I read that the market has been around since the 9th century, which I loved knowing. A short walk down the hill brings you to beautiful neighborhoods with cobblestone roads and the huge cathedral. It's a lovely area overall.

Open the second Sunday of each month from 9-2 (they advertise opening at 8, but nothing is really…read moreopen until at least 9) Great selection of locally produced food and produce! You can find everything from brilliant pies (Raven's Den in particular), awesome cheese (Lincolnshire Poacher and others), fresh veggies (Earthworks and others), fresh fish and meats... not to mention cupcakes and other sweet treats! We usually start by getting a coffee for the husband from the vendor with the mobile coffee bar (the machine is in the back of his van), and then wander the markets and end at the Merchant for a cup of tea for me. As long as there is a rainbow biscuit on the way even our toddler is happy.

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!

However, I came across while making my way to the tram stop on the south side of town to get back to Wimbledon It's an old fashioned fruit and veg market but the quality does vary quite widely with commensurate difference in price. Just beware that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true However, with many stalls to gander at, there is ample opportunity to pick out some good yet quality bargains, especially as most stallholders seem happy to let you pick and choose your own produce In addition, there are some bric a brac stalls and some food stalls selling mainly ethnic food I hope there's always space for places like this

Overall: A great and vibrant place to walk by and pick up some fresh fruit/veg…read more I admit it - I actually miss places like the Surrey Street Market. 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.

This shop is a real find. They sell a HUGE variety of good quality plants incredibly cheaply (you…read morewill never go to B&Q garden centre again), but also a very good selection of fresh fruit and vegetables in the shop. We buy almost all of our fruit and veg from here. The owner buys his fruit and veg stock on a Friday, mainly from local small scale producers and I much prefer to get stuff from him than the market, as it's not battered and tastes wonderful. Some of the stock is a bit past it's best towards the end of the week as it's not refreigerated, but once he's been out on a Friday everything is nice and fresh for most of the week. Highly Higly recommended and well worth the trip from Bury St Edmunds. You will make much more of a saving than you will have spent on fuel This is not the nursery with all the signposts in Risby (this is much much better), but is tucked away in between the Truck stop and the White Horse pub)

They offer meat as veg deliveries to a 15 mile radius free of charge if you spend £20 I believe, with selection hampers an option. The part I liked most is they have some man made bug homes so you can see the little creatures as well. Had lunch in the cafe which again was a very good price for the quality. I had a pulled pork sand which which was the best I'd eaten for a long time. My wife had egg mayo which equally she said was one of the best she'd tasted on lovely fresh bread. The farm itself is very large, a good selection of animals to look at, feeding for pigs, cows and chickens. My 3yr old loved it. Highly recommended!!

Like most farm shops they sell a wide range of fresh fruit and vegetables that you can either choose to pick your own or buy ready picked. Our girls love going strawberry and raspberry picking, and later in the season we go back for apples, pears and plums. The food is grown using mostly organic methods where possible and tastes great. They also sell ice-creams and other refreshments and there is a picnic area and toilets on hand too. It's also great to be able to support a local business by buying locally grown produce.
