I am wheat intolerant and found a great selection of delicious rye and spelt bread freshly baked. Other stalls included local fruit and veg (we like supporting local entrepreneurs and fresh farm produce invariably tastes better than polished supermarket goods!), a selection of homemade pies, cakes, chutneys and meat.

From locally baked bread, handmade jams and chutneys, free-range eggs and meat, fruit and veg picked that morn, beautiful local cheeses, home-made cakes and bakes to local craftspeople selling pottery and bags. There's something for everyone at this very much loved market and even music too! A must for any discerning foodie who is interested in local, sustainable food.

I like to saunter along, barter with the chirpy market folk and pick up various things for my tea - buffalo mozzarellla, honey, jam, crumbly bread and slabs of fresh meat. Don't go there when you're hungry - it's dangerous as you'll come away with twice as much. Head down to Corn Street, near St. Nick's market, every Wednesday 9.30 am -2.30pm.

Everyone in Bristol sounds like farmers so for a proper Bristolian experience a trip to the city's…read morefarmers market is a good idea. The focus is on fresh food from local producers; its the farmers themselves that are selling you the goods. There's more or less everything you could imagine finding on a farm, with highlights including the various organic meat stalls (v. expensive) and the fruit stalls later in the summer, when you can get some of the recent strawberry crop People know about their goods and love to talk about it. This isn't a supermarket experience and people are keen to have a chat - it's a bit like being in the countryside, funnily enough. It runs on a Wednesday, so if you're working in the city centre (it's based by St. Nicholas Market on Corn Street) treat yourself in your coffee/lunch break and pick up some crusty bread and cheddar cheese. You'll feel much better than you would queueing up with the other suits, even if it does cost a little bit more.

Coming from London and being used to Camden, Portobello, even Tooting market I thought "thats it"? I've been to bring and buy sales that were more exciting. Friends of mine bought some pieminster chicken of aragon pies from here and got food poisoning, not too nice. Disappointment at the small size of the market and food poisoning incidents aside, its nice that there is a local market here, there are some nice food stalls and a nice stall selling overpriced Nepali produce.

The food trucks / shops are especially this eclectic range from Caribbean to Turkish and everything in between. If I have one complaint, it's that the market closes up at 5pm on a Saturday and I wish it would stay open later! There's two special quirks about this building that are especially also worth checking out; 1) The clock has an extra minute hand! That's apparently a remnant of the train friendly Victorian days, when Bristol had its own time zone that was different from Greenwich Medium time which is what the London trains would run. 2) if you look up towards the ceiling in the main hall, the sculptures of the heads all look towards the middle, except for two which are turning their heads to look at each other. Rumour has it this is because those two women were the wife and mistress of the building's architect! I very much enjoyed checking out this market! Yelp 161/ 2019

Packert Butchers is known in these parts for its sausages. Hardly surprising being a butcher shop you may think, but the extent to which different sausages are produced here is really quite interesting. From Italian to Hungarian, all sausage styles have been mastered here in what they call their 'mini sausage factory'. As one would expect for such an outstanding business that's been here for twelve years all the meat is fresh, local and where possible, organic. Open before and after you go to work, this is a clean, fresh and professional butcher. Little reason not to visit then unless, well, you're a vegetarian.

The owner is really friendly and will always point out the right cut and quantity of produce to meet your needs. The sausages are amazing here, the lamb and mint are pretty special and the chorizo flavoured ones are awesome on a BBQ. I struggled to find a butcher around here that would beat Packerts for quality and value. Although I don't live close by anymore Its definitely worth a trip back to stock up the freezer.

The price is fantastic and I truely hope that the supermarkets don't squash this shining beacon of what is so great about buying local produce. The front of the shop is red lettering and white background and is listed as 'Fruit market' above the exite and 'EAST STREET fresh fruit and veg' above the entrance - please take note, we can't be doing with people ruining thier perfect system!

Its not a middle class farmers market, its a proper old fashioned market, with fresh and delicious smelling and tasting fruit at bargain prices. It also has a gorgeous array of plants for sale out front. I keep being tempted by them but am usually on my bike when I go to the market. In a world where local supermarkets sell overpriced bland fruit and veg grown in far flung corners of the world it is encouraging to see such a fantastic market still surviving despite the large Asda down the road. Its got character, cheap prices and delicious produce. Well worth turning your nose up at the inferior supermarket produce and taking the extra stroll up East Street to get some tasty treats. Craving some fresh strawberries now!!
