Spitalfields - London's new gourmet hotspot
A new fine food market has launched in the heart of Spitalfields in the newly created Crispin Place. The weekly food market opened on 31st August 2006 with over 20 traders all with a reputation for quality food and many of whom also trade at the renowned Borough Market. The market takes place every Thursday, Friday and Sunday from 10am to 5pm.
Whether you just want to pick up a few delicacies or your weekly food shop, Spitalfields food market has plenty to offer. You will find some of the UK's best butchers producing mutton, free range and organic (rare breed) meats, air-dried hams, bacons, sausages, wild boar, organic fruit and vegetables. For some spice try revelatory Indian chutneys, pickles and sauces that will have your taste buds dancing. Award-winning British pies and pates, a great selection of British bakers alongside authentic traditionally baked continental breads, pastries, quiches, cakes, crumbly fudge, flavour bursting teas and coffee merchants will also be available.
Following the rejuvenation of Spitalfields there are now a host of independent specialist food shops surrounding the new Crispin Place and Bishops Square to compliment the fine food market, as well as several new independent restaurants. Be sure to check out the scrumptious hand-made chocolate at Montezuma's and tempt your tastebuds with the variety of traditional English sweets, meats, cheeses and other specialty products at A. Gold. Once you've browsed the shops and market stalls, pop into the S & M café for a hearty portion of traditional sausages and mash -just like Grandma used to make! - or treat yourself to some high quality British cuisine in the trendy yet friendly Canteen restaurant.
