We tried: * The Ginger Pig - Traditional Sausage Roll * Wild Mushroom Risotto - Spelt Risotto with Truffle Shavings * Turnips Greengrocer - Chocolate Covered Strawberries * The Black Pig - The Best One With Crackling * Turkish Deli - Turkish Delight & Turkish Coffee * Bread Ahead - Crème Brûlée Donut

With so many tempting options, it's honestly hard to decide what to eat. One thing I really appreciated was that many vendors offered samples, so you could try before you buy. During our visit, we sampled the famous chocolate covered strawberries, paella, and wild mushroom risotto. I also bought the Black Pig Honey Truffle Parm sandwich. The chocolate covered strawberries were exactly what you'd expect, fresh strawberries coated in chocolate. If you enjoy that classic combination, you'll probably love them, but they weren't anything particularly special to me. The paella had great flavor, but the rice was a little undercooked for my taste, so I wasn't a fan of the texture. The wild mushroom risotto was the standout. It was rich, creamy, packed with earthy mushroom flavor, and had an excellent texture. It was easily one of my favorite bites of the day. I also tried the Black Pig Honey Truffle Parm sandwich. The bread was fantastic, crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, and the fennel apple slaw added a refreshing crunch. Unfortunately, the pulled pork was very dry. I think it would have been much better if the pork had been kept warm in its own juices instead of continuing to cook on the griddle. That would have kept it moist and tender. As it was... the pulled pork was dry as hell. :) One thing every vendor had in common was friendly and welcoming customer service. Despite how busy and crowded the market gets, the atmosphere is lively, energetic, and full of people enjoying great food. It's definitely a must-visit for anyone who loves trying a variety of foods in one place.

Step off bustling Notting Hill Gate right into this picturesque farmyard shop**. Wicker baskets of fruit and veg jostle for space alongside homemade preserves and muselis. It just bursts with jolly, healthy goodness! No big name brands here. Ever seen those speciality Chegworth Farm juices in ritzy health food shops? Well they have a whole wall of them here. And Chegworth's own apple crumble and brownies. It's so damn wholesome, you just FEEL like a better person for being in there. Till you check the prices and are rapidly brought back to the reality that you are not the yummy mummy of Darquinn and Chardonnay and to shop here would bankrupt you. But you might as well buy yourself a treat. The crumble perhaps.

That's another big money retailer (no! we're independent and proud! I hear the Chegworth farm advertisers shout back) which specialises in organic produce, and cherry tomatoes which are more expensive than Nike clothing. So that yummy Mums with expensive push chairs can perouse the aisles in a leisurely manner and know that their kid's eating only goodness. Hey, I can't knock the hustle. Organic food's where it's at. And there needs to be many more prominent retailers on our high streets. And this I suppose is the Kensington brand of that, so it's going to be a bit poncey and over-priced. Which puts me off, but they do sell some really nice vegetables, lovely fruit and lots of organic and earthy produce (I've had that apple juice before and it's amazing!). So if you just HAVE to feed your new born some pureed organic pumpkin with a poppy seed foam - THEN come along to the Chegworth Farm Shop on Kensington Church Road!

There were at least 40 vendors including: - 3 or 4 booths selling cheeses - 4 or so purveyors of meats - 2 or 3 seafood sellers - many selling veggies, cakes, pastries, ciders, eggs and other raw materials. And if you just want to show up and eat, there were 5-6 vendors selling sausage rolls, burgers, chicken, pulled pork/beef sandwiches, plus French stews. While there are much bigger/well known weekend markets in London, I think this is the best example of a local one that is mostly focused on farmers, fisherman, bakers and butchers - but that also has a lot of stalls where you can eat something really nice. Nobody is selling overpriced jars of stuff or catering to massive crowds. This is a market where you can discuss how the cheese is made with the person who made it.

It was fairly small, but could have used some extra water to cut the lemon, so we weren't mad it was on the tiny side. The passage itself had enough space to comfortably walk down and we loved checking out the different higher-end vendors and their wares. Overall I'd definitely recommend dropping by if you're in the area.

If you need to know which restaurant I recommend, I always opt for the Spanish place - where you can eat a proper steak, half a chicken with fries or a big spanish sausage. On a very hot Sunday afternoon we ordered sangria to cool down. There are two other places I visit. The organic food shop, which has a very deep selection, especially if you look for a special marmalade. In a white wooden hut you will find a book shop which has a wide selection of manly art, design, architecture and fashion. Here and then I find an interesting book - there is nothing as good as flicking through newly printed books. This place is ideal to just love and live on a Sunday afternoon. If there is one place I recommend to visit in summer in Chelsea it is this one. I suggest you go there with a group of friends and just chill out. Also, I discovered lots of Greek and Spanish people hang out around there -hot.

Expect to wait in a queue, listening to stories of his grandchildren. Upon exploration, the other shops in here are also great. I found a rare bound copy of The Book of Tea in the bookshop. I have been looking for one for years, randomly asking places. This is definitely the sign of a good bookshop. The organic / wholefoods shop is also good, as is the tobacconists and, although all I had was a takeaway sandwich from the restaurant, its was yummy.

Like most mini farmers markets, try to get there early as all the best food goes quickly to eager locals and their Channel shopping trollies. Even though there are only between 12 and 15 stalls, there's a nice choice of meat, fish and vegetables, all organic and all from local producers. I particularly like the green leaves stall for just-cut watercress, spinach and rocket. They taste so much better than organic packaged produce from the supermarket and have a much longer life span. There's a good fresh herb stall too and if you fancy growing your own pak choi, or chili plant you can find them here. I had my first turkey and cranberry sandwich of the year and it was so good, it left me wondering why we don't eat that ugly old bird all year round. It came from a local farm and the farmer and his daughter were serving together so it's great to know that I was contributing to a small business rather than a huge faceless corporation. The ready made food is expensive though, so don't be expecting to find any market bargains here. I remember when 'free-range', 'organic' and 'GM free' were the new foodie buzz words, now it's what I've come to expect and I think everyone should have the option of eating well so I think it's a real shame that markets like this also come with a very high price tag.
