Brockley Market

Pin It!
I love checking out markets especially ones where food is involved. One recent new discovery thanks to Giulia of Mondomulia is Brockley Market, the brainchild of Toby Allen, who felt that there was a lack of seasonal produce in the area. Brockley Market was born and it was definitely a welcomed addition judging from the amount of people walking around, eating, buying produce and just enjoying the day. I for one absolutely loved it! The market was filled with various kinds of street food, cakes, bread,  pies, fresh seasonal produce, fish, meat, herbs, Spanish Artisan food and coffee, things that will make a foodie very happy!
Brockley Market, only a 7 mins train ride from London Bridge Station is opened from 10am to 2pm on Sats. The best thing to do is to go there for breakfast, have a walk around to buy some produce and then have lunch before heading off! ;) Benches and tables are placed around the market makes for a comfortable eating experience. 


Without further ado, I present to you, some of the sights of Brockley Market!!!


There's Flavours of Spain who brings in various kinds of charcuterie, chorizo, cheeses, Spanish spices and Spanish store cupboard essentials.
Pies from Marsh Produce
There's of course Egg boss with one of the best scotch eggs in the London!! Perfectly seasoned and isn't that egg yolk perfection!!! My only regret is not buying more!!
Astons with it's range of fabulous artisan bread and pastries.
Cakes from the London Particular, a cafe in New Cross.
Fresh reasonably priced produce from Perry Court Farm
Coffee from Dark Fluid, Brockley Market's resident Barista!
Besides the above, there are still quite a few traders such as Motherflipper, Mike & Ollie, Red Herring, Laurdos, Honest Carrot, Blintz boy, Wild Country Organics, A G Brookman and Browns of Brockley to name a few. It'll probably take a few more trips to try every stall but it'll definitely a worthwhile hike from the North of London!!

Visit with an empty tummy!!!!

We finally made another trip to Brockley Market and this time, we couldn't miss the much talked about Mother Flipper cheeseburger, a moist, juicy, medium rare, no tendon, well seasoned beef patty topped with melty, gooey cheese sandwiced between a soft broiche bun. It was simpley luscious!

On the day we went, Cinnamon Tree Bakery made their debut at the market. Usually trading at Borough and Broadway market, they have now expanded and will be a regular at Brockley Market too. I've heard about their famous Shortbread owls and Cinnamon Elephants so I was really excited to try them. Freshly baked crunchy biscuits with the right amount of sweetness that goes so well with a cup of tea. The cinnamon elephants were well spiced with no over powering after taste. And aren't they cute!!!?

  1. What an enjoyable, appetising post! It looks like an extraordinary market. My market is also every Saturday and even if I don't need any vegetables or fruits (I also buy these in organic shops) I love to have a stroll and buy some chorizo (they also sell great chorizo on my French market) and have a glass of wine afterwards in a nearby café...

  3. Looks like a fun place to hang out. I haven't been to such a market in ages. And I haven't had a pie in ages also:(
    I found the ad for the red onions interesting - home grown, 20p each!

    1. I love going to markets like these! You should go check out one soon... I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
      haha, the prices at the Perry Court farm stall are very reasonable as compared to supermarkets etc. A 1kg bag of apples costs only £1.50 and it's buy 2 get 1 free! isn't that a bargain!!??

    2. I certainly will be. The underground markets here are more expensive, the outdoor ones are cheaper but its out of the way. An effort needs to be made on my part!
      Thats not a bad deal on apples. I wonder if you can buy 2, get 1 free, then return 2 and ask for your money back:) Maybe they will throw the apples at you:)

    3. Check one out soon, i'm sure it'll be worth making the trip there!
      and they'll probably get some eggs from another stall and throw them on me! LOL!
