I can confirm that the oysters are LOVELY and the chap running the stall is very friendly. He seems to have a real passion for his produce and attempts to source different varieties whenever possible. I have tried three different types since it opened - fantastic!

The oyster chap is Martin, and he is indeed lovely; and also in need of increased sales since someone dented his vintage VW beetle last week, so do try to pay him a visit.


Next door to him is an organic herbs and spices stall, which I can also recommend, having had the most delicious in-house mulled wine in there last weekend.

It's a good idea. It's managed to get a fair bit of free and mainly positive publicity from the EDF. It's got a range of shops, but it is a bit harum-scarum in terms of decor and atmosphere. It does lack cohesion, but it's never going to be Borough Market. I'd like the convener/manager to have a think about the overall feel and look of the place. 7/10. Nero

I agree it's a good idea in principal. But (for most people) once you've been.. you been.


The mix of stuff in there isn't right and there isn't enough stock or turnover of stock to make you want to go back.


It needs a couple of surefire winners in there to get the rest going. A couple of ChiChiRaRas would do the trick. It's the sort of place that would really benefit from having a nice cafe inside too - something to get people through the door regularly - but obviously there are space considerations (and I wouldn't know about licence issues).

    • Hi, does anyone have their up to date number please?
    • I imagine Franco Manca's business dropped off quite a bit when Yard Sale opened (though isn't Yard Sale delivery only?) But in any case, both of those are chains.
    • Thanks. I'll call them shortly as I could get there without the car.  That's good of Sainsburys! We've done the apple pie and tart thing, an ongoing muesli thing and the coleslaw thing - just not sure what effect all the sugars are having on our digestive tracts.  If we were in Somerset and had a press, I'd consider it. Can't be that diffcult, can it?
    • One time Sainsbury's delivered 6 bags of apples instead of 6 single apples which I couldn't possibly get through. I phoned Pecan in Peckham to ask if they would accept them despite their website stating no fresh foods. I must have phoned at just the right time as they were happy to accept them. Sainsburys gave me a refund so the donation was courtesy of them. Or you could experiment with all kinds of apple recipes and write a blog about it
