 Stock up - everything's so cheap |
Eastgate Road Bristol BS5 6XY United Kingdom +44 (0)117955 1351 (St. Werburghs Centre) |
A great example of how shopping used to be, this popular general market has been established for 35 years and can be found these days near the big Ikea store just off the M32 at junction two. It certainly couldn't be described as glamorous shopping, but if you're after a slice of gritty English life, look no further. It's packed every week with locals looking for cheap vegetables, meat, clothes, material, music and almost anything else you could think of. The prices are well below those of the average shops, especially if you wait until it's almost closing, when you can come away with boxes of fruit and veg at a fraction of the normal cost - and then spend the rest of the week wondering what to do with two kilos of mushrooms!

Buy local organic produce straight from the farm |
Corn Street Bristol BS1 1JQ United Kingdom +44 117 922 4017 http://visitbristol.co.uk/site... |
This rather wonderful and extremely popular market sells a wide range of organically produced, local produce. There's yoghurt, taboulleh, salads and sandwiches from the Radford Mill Farm stall, freshly pressed apple juice, delicious breads and cakes, honey from local beekeepers, herbs and wild flowers for your garden, free-range meats such as pork, venison, lamb, duck, and pates and sausages made from the same. Don't miss the fish stall, which sells absolutely divine smoked trout and salmon, fish cakes and smoked haddock chowder - there's always a queue. The stall-holders are extremely friendly and helpful, just ask them any question about their produce and they're happy to tell you more - even exactly which of their cows your pot of yoghurt came from! Get there early, it starts winding-down at around 1.30pm. Review © 2007, Wcities |
