SHOPPING THE MARKET
Saturdays | Broadway Market
This market has been a part of Hackney since the 1890s. On the weekend, there are rows of vendors selling produce, baked goods, oysters, smoked salmon, sandwiches, coffee, cheese and vintage clothing.
“If I go in the morning, I get a coffee from Climpson and Sons, who roast their own beans. I love to take advantage of the samples and I usually end up with something sweet to enjoy with my coffee. There is nothing better than dunking a cookie in your coffee. My goal is to pick things up for an antipasti-style dinner. Broadway Market is one of the only places where I can get wild boar sausage and smoked scamorza cheese, two of my favorite things on earth. I also stop into Noble Liquor for an amazing suggestion on wine or craft beer. If I am having lunch, there are two options from the food stalls, either a hog roast sandwich or one of the little booths that make roast beef sandwiches in a yorkshire pudding. Then it's a beer or two or three at the Cat and Mutton!” - Wine Director Courtney Stebbings of Lyle’s
“Great place to shop on a Saturday. I like to buy from Violet Cakes. She used to be the pastry chef at Chez Panisse. There is Chegworth Valley from Kent. They have an apple orchard, like apple juice producers, and now grow fantastic strawberries, gooseberries, which not many people grow and really amazing raspberries, tomatoes, and out of control good salad leaves.” - Chef James Lowe of Lyle’s
“On Saturdays, I like to come here to shop. I like Wild Game Co, they're from Scotland and sell interesting meat. I buy venison from them.” - Chef James Ferguson of the Beagle

The sells organic fruit, vegetables and apple juice. They sell at Broadway market and also have a farm store in Notting Hill.
“They have an apple orchard and are apple juice producers, which started about thirty years ago. They have set aside more land for growing fruit and vegetables and they do fantastic strawberries, gooseberries (which not many people grow) and really amazing raspberries, tomatoes, and out of control good salad leaves.” - Chef James Lowe of Lyle’s
SHOPPING THE STREET
Fish | Fin and Flounder
Stop into their seafood shop to buy fresh fish, wine, herbs and deli items or at their stand at the weekend Broadway Market, where they sell sandwiches.
“Unlike other fishmongers, Richard doesn’t hold back or play safe and he tries to find unusual products and teaches his customers how to cook and eat what they buy. It’s not unusual to find live prawns still jumping, live razor clams, monkfish livers, or perhaps fresh cuttlefish in their shop, all beautifully presented and very high quality. The shop itself is really cute and sells a couple of extra things – interesting wine choices and cooking products like saffron, fish roe, paprika, and chorizos - fantastic friends of fish.” - Chef Nuno Mendes of Chiltern Firehouse

Wine & Spirits | Noble Fine Liquor
Small, independent wine store featuring a well-curated selection of naturally-made wines and craft beer.
“I love the passion behind this shop. It is owned by two guys who don't come from a wine background, but their passion is very reflective in their selection. It’s a broad boutique selection and they do a lot of tasting, so it’s very interactive. It’s a good place if someone is just starting out, because they have a lot of information to guide you. They do some really great craft beers as well.” - Wine Director Courtney Stebbings of Lyle’s
“If you like esoteric selections of natural wines and knowledgeable purveyors then this is the place for you. Liam and company have an undoubted passion for what they sell, which really rubs off on you whenever you enter.” - Restaurateurs Tom Bell & Ed Wyand of Verden
