For the first time in the Market’s 250 year history it has joined forces with an annual food festival, bringing fantastic new producers to London’s most popular and historic food market.
Every Thursday, 14 Real Food Festival producers will come to London bringing Borough Market’s shoppers and the local community even more choice and the opportunity to buy great quality, fresh produce and ingredients at affordable prices, direct from the producer. The Real Food Festival will also be working with the Soil Association to bring a selection of the Festival’s organic producers to take part and we are delighted that, with Borough Market’s help, we are able to support our Real Food producers to find a new channel to sell their wonderful products.
The link between the Real Food Festival and Borough Market is a natural one – the Real Food Festival showcases wonderful, seasonal, food & drink produced sustainably and ethically from all around the UK and is synonymous with the ethos and beliefs of Borough Market
The Real Food Festival - 7-10th May, provides an annual platform to showcase smaller producers by offering subsidised stands at its show at Earl’s Court and in line with the shows philosophy, Real Food Festival stalls at Borough Market are also subsidised.
The launch of the Real Food Festival at Borough Market will include something for all of the family during half term week and one of the highlights will be Petal the Water Buffalo who is coming with Laverstoke Park Farm. There will also be some fabulous Real Food chefs who will be demonstrating what they can do with some of the wonderful ingredients available in the market:
