Just had the last piece of walnut cake at the Celtic Bakers. These guys are getting cleared out. Think it has been busier than anyone anticipated.

We were early arrivals this morning and had a good look round. Had coffee and croissant in the sunshine and nibbled a Spanish croquette. We were away before noon bearing bread, cheese, kippers and some venison sausages. The strong gusts of wind were a bit of a problem for some stalls. Despite this, the new market seemed to have made a pretty good start and I hope it takes root. Next time, I'll try some of the delicacies which were more suitable for early lunch than for late breakfast. There were several photographers who I now realise were probably after Hugh's prize.

I got there around 2p.m. and most stalls had sold out of food - bad luck for me, but good for the market. I managed to get the last portion of prawn katsu curry, though!
I think if they could attract a few more produce stalls they'd be in a stronger position - not everyone is going to go out specifically to eat there on a regular basis, but if you pop up to get meat or veg, you might well be tempted to have lunch at the same time.

Maddy, fruit & veg people didn't show but Jessica is sorting that.
Dick, one of the photographers is from the Hornsey Journal so expect so coverage next week. Will the Crouch Enders dare cross the tracks ...

Fastastic market at NHP today. We bought great fresh fish, some lovely organic bread, pheasant and amazing food for lunch. Virtually everyone had sold out by 2:30pm, so get there early next week. Stallholders take note: Harringay likes to eat; bring more food!

Great market. We came away with delicious tortilla from Gloria's tapas, a burger bear, lots of cheese, bread and flowers. Lovely!

Just wanted to say, we arrived a bit late at 1.30 and much of the food had gone but the stalls and face painting were terrific. We managed to bag a fantastic burger and coffee then bought bread and cheese. Lovely to have an alternative to Ally Pally farmers market and in walking distance of home. So many kids there too that my daughter had a grand time and it felt safe to let her run round too. We'll be there early next week to stock up on Suffolk fish. Well done organisers! Hope the fruit and veg people turn up because as much as we love shopping on Green Lanes for fresh veg, it'd be nice to get some different/organic produce too.
