Brixton Village/Granville Arcade indoor market, Brixton

Someone could perhaps make a reasonable living doing Brixton Market Food Boxes which are delivered in the evening or picked up at Brixton tube.

There is it's called City Pantry, they've just recently launched and they've got quite a few of the restaurants on board!

Bit spammy for a first post? And its not delivering boxes of fresh ingredients from market stall holders but meals from restaurants as far as I can tell

I think you might be better off posting up info in the Brixton Noticeboard forum. Cheers!

This idea has been suggested a few times.

I'd ditch Tesco completely if the market delivered.

I guess it is too difficult to pull off though.

I'd use the restaurant delivery and if you could put together a veg box from the market and get that delivered I'd use that too.

The thread is about the the new restaurants killing off the street market. So to post about a delivery service for those new restaurants is certainly relevant, but perhaps not quite in the way that you intended.

reckon many people like me are using Nour and the farmer's market for their veg needs.

Has anyone seen any asparagus btw?

We get pretty much all our food from Nour, they've got everything. Only ever use supermarkets for wine and meat.

 

[han]

And, I think supermarkets, and people working very long hours and thus being unable to get to the market before it closes, are the real culprits that are killing the market.

If anything, Brixton Village and Market Row are bringing more people to the (already struggling) market. Not that I particularly like what's happened to them. But I don't think they're to blame.

We use the shop on the corner of electric lane and electric avenue for a lot of our food shopping... basic selection of veg and e few more of the exotic bits, loadsa spices and tinned stuff. Chinese one next door for well, chinese bits... We get some of our stuff from wholefoods but the veg is a lot more expensive there and often not that fresh looking. They do good eggs tho

We rarely go to supermarket, apart from iceland for cat food. So we mostly get wine from market row wines now... £8.50 for a really nice bottle of red is pretty decent imo... When we have meat it often comes from Dombey's. Massive chicken for six quid does us for sunday lunch and monday and tuesday tea as well. We'd spend so much more if we bought it all from supermarket

I've never been to Market Row Wines, or Dombeys. Must check them out. Where's Dombeys?

Market row, just uphill from Nour, as it curves round.
Excellent sausages.

It's all about the sausages

 

[Thimble Queen]

yeah the sausage is good too. Dont forget the giant chicken wings, a few quid for a carrier bag full. Great on a BBQ

 

[TruXta]

I've never had their saussies. Must try them soon.

I want my chicken etc to be free range so mostly get it from the farmer's market. On Sunday I got two big packets of thighs and two partridges (which were great - try them!) for a tenner.

 

[ffsear]

I hate carrying cash and visiting cash machines. If there was a way for market traders to take card, i would definitely use it more.

Ooh. I bought a partridge once from the Thursday farmers' market by SOAS. It was lovely. Didn't realise they sell stuff like that at the Brixton one.

 

[han]

Ack, maybe I shouldn't have said that. I'm probably going to be accused of being a gentrifier because I bought a partridge once.

Chicken!

If it was just the once you might get away with it, i think this is for the most part a pheasant Board. Partridge bought on a regular basis might make you fair game.

I was expecting some fowl criticism but thankfully no-one seems bothered.

Cock.

(Fowl enough for you?)

There are only so many chicken puns unfortunately. Wattle we do next?

Capon going?

Oh, give it a breast.

That might depend whether you carried it home in a plastic bag or whether you put it in a shopping trolley so you could pullet.....
