Reviews
One of the best whole foods in the UK, if not the best.
Customer service is great, produce is always top of the line. From fruits and veg grown organically in the UK to imported fruits from Thailand and the Philippines, all perfectly ripe and the best quality produce.
Always worth a stop of you're in the area.

I have always shopped at Wholefoods but I am beginning to question their brand integrity and if they even care what they are feeding their customers nowadays. I’m not sure if they have a new buyer but selling Mcvitties hobnobs, ritz crackers and Kellogg’s crunchy nut has made me lose total trust in the products they sell. I would go there because I trusted they were selling brands with WHOLE FOODS but it seems profits are more important so have jumped on the processed garbage. Very disappointed, thankfully Planet Organic still have standards and care about the products they supply and where they came from. Hopefully someone speaks to the buyer and they but things right.

Had a wonderful pulled pork burger from here for lunch the other day. The pulled pork was juicy and full of flavor, the burger was perfectly cooked and it was overall just a great burger. The fries, however, were incredible! Perfectly crisp, mystery seasoning that I now need in my life. The service is great and the guys are super friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be stopping by again in the future!
This place make the best burger I would recommend here over five guy, mcdonalds & burger King and there service is exceptional. I will definitely keep going back *****
The food market offers a very nice selection, with the same booths typically present every week. I highly recommend the Argentinian grill, the fudge, the Moroccan, and the scallops booths. In the summer, the booths encircle the running track, providing a large green lawn to sit on while eating. However, in the winter, the booths are quite crammed together, making it less pleasant as there’s no place to sit and enjoy the food, so you have to stand while eating.
in Chelsea for the Christmas lights switch on, and see the Chelsea pensioners in concert, fantastic fireworks
fantastic day out lots to see and do :)

Love it. Loads of quality choices. Clean and tidy. Picnic in the middle. Same they close the site around 4pm.
So so so delicious. Wish we had more time on our trip to go back and try every single stall but definitely worth a visit if you love food! My must get are the oysters, some of the freshest, juiciest, tastiest oysters I’ve ever had in my life!
This little still at the Piccadilly Gardens food market has the best burger I've had in Manchester. What's better is that it's also at a good price.
Their burgers are juicy and can be ordered with a side or chips and a can for a total of £10. I've not had better food for the price. Better yet, I can only think of a couple places that are better.
This is a must try for everyone who wants to have a proper burger and earned a weekly visit from me since I've had it for the first time.
The only thing to note is that it is a stall. So they don't have anywhere to sit. But even then I think it's worth having it.

Borough Market is a great spot just to indulge and all sorts of food.
Sadly, I did not get any photos of the giant market itself, but here are some photos that I did get.
If you are hungry, I need a quick bite to eat. This wild mushroom risotto definitely hit the spot for me. It was around 10lbs and some change. I really like the portion size so if you are trying to share it with your significant other I would. There was a line around the corner, and yet they were serving super fast.
When you are walking around the market, you will come across all sorts of stand, we love the risotto so much that we decided to buy our own wild mushroom basket and made breakfast the next day over eggs.
At the market, you will find all sorts of cheeses and cured meats. We also bought delicious canned fish that were all very good price.
If you are looking for some thing, sweet, they have truffles, sweet stands, I saw everyone walking around with chocolate covered strawberries, as well as the Hot apple crumble!
I highly recommend and go there hungry.

What an amazing place.
Quite a contrast to the hectic and capitalist city with lots of handicrafts, artisan bakeries, cheese, vegetables etc. and specialties such as gluten free pastries and cake.
Love it and will come back for sure!

If all you come with is an appetite, you’ll be able to sate it in a thousand ways. But if you care about what you eat and where it comes from, our traders can feed your curiosity too. Here, in this historic setting, you’ll find an incredible range of food from all over Britain and the rest of the world – and every item has a story to tell.
Love this market. Absolutely amazing with sorts of food and drinks of UK. Tried multiple stall and crowd started as early as 10am. Market is easy access and clean environment.
If you love crowds and madness go for weekends. Else stick to the weekdays. This place is heaven for food lovers. Varieties of stalls for each delicacy. Abundance of food specially the non-veg sections. Roam around and try them as much as your tummy can take.
Loved the diverse selection of food. Come early and ready to eat something amazing and affordable.
Love this little market, especially the peanut butter lady, from Heart and Soul. Try the double roasted peanut butter, absolutely delicious!
GG: For my first time experience in the shop I have to say Food was very good, fresh and healthy.
However, I lost an item - my yellow umbrella who was gifted - in the toilets and when I checked to see if it was there ,it wasn’t found, someone took it. Unfortunately , there are not anymore honest people in our society.
Best wishes,
G

Definately one of the best burgers that I have had. A shame though that the pull pork, belly bites and wings were sold out by the time I got there (2pm on a Tuesday).
Owner is very friendly and apologetic for the sold out and promise me that my choice will be available if I return on the wednesday, however, due to my schedule, I will not be in manchester.

Absolutely top notch! High quality, incredibly yummy, massive portions, unreal value, I could go on! An absolute must if you're in Manchester and love burgers! Will definitely be back!
Fist meal in Manchester, portion is big enough for sharing 2 persons. Taste good but not best.
Very cool place, but it is smaller and a lot less options overall than the Camden market. Their fruits, vegetables, and bakery stands are second to none in London! There really was no comparison, the prices were great on their perishables. They had some other good food concoctions and their spice shop was absolutely incredible.
A fancier and cleaner version of the typical UK supermarket, offering fresh healthy foods, delicious cakes and snacks, salad bars and hot foods (e.g. chicken, lasagne, soup, pizza). Wonderful selection of different brands that aren't usually offered in other stores. The pumpkin pie sold here is delicious.
A dining area is located just after the tills where you can eat whatever you've just purchased. Nice relaxing environment. Toilets and florist located downstairs.

Nice market, most of the stalls are vegetables and fruit, they have a couple of meat stalls as well and a couple of bakery stalls. There is a stall with diary products (milk, soured cream) but no stalls with cheese when I visited. There only was a single stall with food to eat right away (grilled sausages and sausage rolls). There was a stall with nice smoked trout as well
It's a really small farmers market. You can probably make your way around in less than 15 mins.
We got some coffee from a one man shop near entrance -- very good, no frills.
We also picked up some sourdough bread and cheese from a couple other vendors. All delicious.

What an awesome experience, was my first time visiting and certainly won’t be the last. The amount of food available, the cheeses, sea food and meats was so amazing to see. All locally sourced and made by small companies. was a lovely experience even on a rainy day. You must try the Humble Crumble and paella! Delicious
Great variety of items. Offers try outs for the hot foods during dinner time. The staff are very friendly and helpful
Something for everyone! Suggest to go for freshly cooked hot food or covered a cooled desserts.
Borough Market is fantastic. I've been there twice. The food is incredible and from all parts of the world made fresh. The mushroom risotto is fabulous, the tea is good, the homemade pasta, some bbq pulled pork, and this warm apple crumble ice cream. They have fresh produce, fresh fish, and fresh meat. It's a fabulous place.
Such a fun and vibrant market. It's yummy sampling food and buying some truffle and hot sauces! It can get really busy lunchtime, but I was lucky to visit when there weren't any queues. Friendly vendors!
Found this place by accident while looking for a parking space. Nice-sized market based within a school car park. Very lovely produce, probably a bit expensive for your average family of four but the quality is good and I would definitely go to this market for a treat. Well frequented by locals and it is good to have the option of such good quality produce.
It's a good place to have something for your tummy. Variety of options available from different zones of the world. Have tried Indian and Thai food, both were good.
Only drawback is it's over crowded mostly on the weekends and close at 5 PM and there is very less room to sit and eat.

An absolute must to visit here when you’re in London. So many vendors and restaurants. Great place to try new foods and sweets. I tried the Turkish coffee it was delicious ! Service here is phenomenal. Memorable experience. All are welcome !
Located in a easily accessible place and in a cool area. There's a variety of foods from all around the world to choose from and the aesthetic puts the cherry on top. It very clean and I'd definitely go back again ❤️❤️
Beautiful market which really is bustling. Lots of choices from a variety of stalls. Heavy foot traffic means it’s at times hard to have gate through. But that is purely a sign of how good this place is!
There is 1 farmer selling good fruits and vegetables, the vast majority of the other 15+ stalls are cooked street food. The name 'farmer's market' is misleading.
Fantastic selection of food. Be warned, the place gets super busy. For me, however, it was well worth it. We spent a couple of hours here touring the options and finally settling on three very different meals between us.
Great market with lots of food options to buy fresh products to take home. Sadly the variety of hot food was not there and as a tourist it is complicated to buy many of the fresh produce or products and take them home to enjoy. Still I would definitely recommend it to tourists even if it's a little detour to have a snack and a drink during a day of busy sightseeing.
Fairly small farmer's market that's easily accessible, just a stone's throw from south Kensington station. Definitely a decent market to check out if you are in the area. Think there were two or three vegetable stalls, two fruits stalls, two bakeries, one butcher, and one fish stall.
Fantastic burgers and what great staff, we arrived late in the day so he had run out of pork belly for my droid burger, so he loaded it up with belly bites, wow it was sooo good, top bloke 👍👍
Good place to buy your kitchen goods. Fruits Vegitables
Best pasta stall My Angry Pasta
Home made fresh pasta

Will definitely return.

Amazing farmers market that I found is so small but they sell almost everything an amazing prices we are in London but this farmers market did impress me with good value for money in one of most expensive places to live on the earth I can recommend.

We’ve recently decided to check-out a different farmers’ market every weekend.
This is our fourth market and I have to say that it’s a solid 4 stars.
Great selection of meats and veggies although lacking on some of the more interesting items like cakes, cookies and other homemade goodies.
Still, it’s definitely worth visiting for your market essentials.

This place is amazing. Set right next to the magnificent hills, it's by far the biggest collectors market I've ever seen. We managed to get a few bargains for the house and spend hours walking around. It has a news agent and several eateries (be warned they're not cheap) it is dog friendly and there is a massive car park next to the event. It costs £5 to get in but you can spend all day here
Pretty good choice of fresh produce but not cheap.
Great little market with fresh veggies, meats, fish, cakes and more.
Small but worth it!

Lovely people with their beautiful food stalls. Very limited food stalls we can find just outside of Kings cross station. From fresh breads and Italian passtries must try. Tea from.Aamla chai and smoothies and fresh juice from the juice stall is really awesome.
Such fresh vegetable breads and jams. Their mushrooms were awesome. Felt the prices were a bit high though: £2 for a small bunch of corriander. But that’s ok as we are supporting small businesses.
A nice selection of stalls selling fruit and veg, baked goods, meat, fish, jars and hot food.
Tidy market but everything essential could be found here, including handmade sauce, pasta, hot food and vegetable stalls.
Poor hygiene and dangerous health and safety:
This is a review of one particular stall in particular. Unfortunately I don’t remember the name but they were selling things like tarts/pastries and quiches.
I bought one on Tuesday 21st February.
They packaged it in a bag (unfortunately they don’t do boxes) but when I took it out at home it had a sharp metal piece inside it!!

Cheap and good quality food in South Kensington. Few minutes walk from the station a great stop before wondering around .
Visited the whole foods market at high street Kensington in London and found an amazing variety of food options. Loved the choice of wines and cheese. Extremely difficult to decide with huge varieties. We visited around 7 and the place was deserted :) and seems they were operating with a reduced staff. Prices are slightly on the higher side however quality of the products are really good. They have a live food counter which is sold based on the weight of the food. I loved the variety of salads here too. I would recommend definitely visiting here for the cheese and wine options.
It is obvious I love food and Xmas markets in general. And what's better than combined food and Xmas markets. Give me food, and I'm happy. This one was surprisingly good. It was even bigger than Canopy Market. The food was delicious. I must have spent £100 on food alone. From pies, sausage rolls, brownies, croissants, dry nuts, coffee, and alcohol of course, this is a foodie's paradise. As you can imagine, I was in heaven.
Food market every Saturday from 10am to 4pm, love it! Many delicious street food, pastries, fresh goods to buy and eat. It has become one of my favorite spots for the weekend!
Beautiful little market in the middle of South Kensington.
We love to come here every Saturday and enjoy the different types of food. The ones we always go for are: the stall with the shredded duck ciabbatta and hoisin sauce (a must!!); the stall with dutch pancakes, the stall with Caribbean wraps and juices and the Argentinian empanadas stall! Check it out if you are ever in the area on a Saturday. Really worth it.
This market is so good. Really fresh fruit/veg that actually taste good, unlike the overpriced tasteless moldy stuff you get at Whole Foods. The mushroom guy sells good shrooms, that last so long compared to the ones you would get at a shop. Ppl at the stalls are polite and nice. It's not expensive either. I don't know why anyone would buy anything at a supermarket when you have this amazing market around.
Stopped by on a Saturday morning to have a browse, ended up picking up some cheese and pastries which were delicious. A great little farmers market to pick up your local groceries and to pick up a coffee while you’re at it. Great place to support local!
Nice variety of products but the one stall we went to did not have anyone responsible for it so we couldn’t really buy anything.
It's good to visit the farmers market tucked away behind the busy street. I bought tasty breads. Next time should be for veggies or fruits.
A perfect place to buy weekly fresh groceries! You'll find milk, cheese, other milk products, fresh veggies, even vegetables and herb plants and to cover for the breakfast bakery products!! Awesome place!!
Full of peoples, many good looking faces, lots of different restaurants and small shops and waterfront. You.must visit on sunny summer days.
Great place if you want to spend time alone or with your family or friends and eat some very nice and interesting foods..
The stalls have been moved inside the garden of the satchi gallery.. great experience, don't miss it..

Good quality organic food.
The organic vegetable stall was run by a man who was disinterested in his customer.
I wanted carrots but he was pointedly intent on unpacking. That's fine but he made zero effort to smile, say..just a minure. He went on and on adding to an already big pile. After several minutes I left his scowling countenance. Come on , we want to buy, make it pleasant.

Very clean and not crowded yet
Great farmer's market! Lots of stalls selling vegetables, cheeses, bread + bakery goods, fresh pasta, meat, fish, eggs, etc. Occasional vendor sells beer, and several stalls sell prepared food. Great place to get your weekly shopping done!
I had the universal box at Mel tropical kitchen. I enjoyed the salad but the humus and falafel were not to my taste.
The farmers' market on Bute Street is relatively small but has a very good selection of organic and seasonal produce (3-4 stalls selling vegetables and fruits). The fish stall is second to none and usually sold out by 11:00. People start forming the queue before opening times. Fosse poultry has quality free range chicken.
Love this market!
Lovely to also give back to local commerce/trades people.
Always a Great selection of fish!!
Meats are superb!
Cheeses and butters are good but pricey.
Vegetables and fresh herbs are very good quality.
I go most Saturdays if I can.
Dogs are welcome on leads. People are friendly.
Miss the old chap that cooked the burgers and awesome sausage rolls! New young guy burns them including the onions and has a bit of a soar attitude.

Note that this isn't really a farmers' market, it's more of a bunch of hot food stalls. Great range of cuisines to choose from. Long queues can be found at most of them, so make sure to leave plenty of time. Most accept card but some are cash only.
Great food selection. Cheese, bread, cakes, donuts, you name it! I would pass on the salmon cakes in case you see them. Way too much potato compared to fish. Portuguese egg tart is very creamy. Went with the classic flavor and did not disappoint.
It's really pretty and worth going if the weather is nice and you have enough time. The food market is pretty expensive (around 10-20£ per food item), the food itself is not something very special, just your average Indian, hotdogs, burgers and fish and chips. Theres not a lot of sitting area so you can order food, but there will be no space for you to sit...
Food that smells great but not as much produce as expected from farms. Expect about £5 for a meal here.
Don't expect to spend less than £5 for lunch at most of the stalls. Limited actual market produce, mostly just great tasting food to go.
Good market with plenty of tasty food. Queus are long for the most popular stalls. A couple take cards but mostly just cash.
Nice Farmers' Market happening every Tuesday at Imperial College (but open to everyone). This is mainly for lunch and you really need to bring cash.
