Kew Village Market Stall
On Sunday 1st September we’ll be again selling Kew Village Market – Taste the Music, a brilliant compilation CD of 12 great tracks from favourite bands who’ve starred in our sunshine-yellow music marquee. The perfect thank-you gift, it costs just £6 and, as everyone involved has given their time and talents for free, all the profits go to local charities. We’ll also have the Kew Village Market Cookbook and the excellent digest of local history The Story of Kew and stylish KVM tote bags.
What's on 1st September 2019
- This month’s charity stall will be Otakar Kraus Music Trust, who will also be playing on our stage.
- And in our bright yellow music marquee we have the Otakar Kraus Music Trust
MEAT & FISH
At John and Georgina Emerson’s farm in Normandy, near Guildford, the beef is grass-fed and allowed to graze all year round; their chicken and ducks are all free-range and dry-plucked; and the free-range pork is mostly from saddlebacks. They’ll also be bringing a variety of different flavoured sausages and free-range duck and hen eggs to the market and cooking hot bacon, sausage and pulled pork rolls. www.huntshillfarm.com
Jamie Walker is based near Chesil Beach and most of the fish he sells at Sunday’s market will have been caught on the Dorset or Devon coast on Friday. What he sells depends on what the boats bring in, so his stall will have what’s in season from a range including bass, bream, monkfish, lemon sole, mullet, plaice, turbot, brill, lemon or dover sole, oysters and lobster, as well as rope-grown mussels and dived scallops. He’s also likely to bring whole cooked crab, home-made crab soup and fishcakes. Most of his fish will already be gutted and scaled, but any other preparation can be done at the market.
Oven-ready seasonal game & venison

Established in 1979, Nut Knowle Farm makes traditional hand-made hard and soft goat milk cheeses, including Martlet Gold, Millefleur, Aspire, Mount Caburn and their latest, Sussex Squire, which are all much appreciated. From the June market they’ll also be selling fresh goat and kid meat – a must for lovers of Jamaican goat curry!
Here you’ll find a feast of locally baked Hungarian treats – five different types of strudel, savoury and sweet, cakes, biscuits and scones, pastries and traditional breads.
Chris and Lesley Dench will again be bringing their award-winning apple and pear juices to Kew this month. They set up their juice business in 1990, using fruit from their orchards after a violent hailstorm marked the crop, and their use of traditional pressing methods and slow pasteurisation preserves the real flavour of the fruit. And thanks to popular demand, they’ll also be selling their scrumptious apples and pears plus cordials and jams.
The Botanical Baker‘s ‘flour pot cakes’ have to be seen to be believed – incredibly realistic plant-themed bakes that are as delicious as they are exquisite. All their bakes – including chocolate brownies and bespoke floral celebration cakes – are made with 100% natural ingredient.
Here you’ll find a mouth-watering range of gourmet shortbread both sweet (such as Almond & Amaretto, Cardamom & Pistachio), savoury (Cheddar, Rosemary & Chilli) and astonishing (Gin & Juniper shortbread, anyone?) plus a few gluten-free flavours too.
We’re delighted to welcome Janet & Dani Signori who fell in love with Sicily nearly 30 years ago and are now highly regarded producers of Sicilian food: extra virgin olive oil (some citrus flavoured), salsas, honey, almonds, orange, lemon and fig conserves – all of the finest, most flavoursome quality.
Jamie Walker is based near Chesil Beach and most of the fish he sells at Sunday’s market will have been caught on the Dorset or Devon coast on Friday. What he sells depends on what the boats bring in, so his stall will have what’s in season from a range including bass, bream, monkfish, lemon sole, mullet, plaice, turbot, brill, lemon or dover sole, oysters and lobster, as well as rope-grown mussels and dived scallops. He’s also likely to bring whole cooked crab, home-made crab soup and fishcakes. Most of his fish will already be gutted and scaled, but any other preparation can be done at the market.
Olive lovers will be spoiled for choice – 23 different types of stuffed and marinated olives! You’ll also find feta cheese, feta-stuffed red and pipeline peppers, sun-blushed and sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, stuffed vine leaves, tapenade, humus, butter bean salad, boquerones, green and red pesto, harissa and marinated garlic.
We’re delighted that the winner of the Fresh Produce Category of the prestigious Soil Food Association Awards has become a regular at the market. The farm has been organic since 1988 and specialises in producing a wide variety of summer and winter vegetables, herbs and salad leaves. Because the quality is so high, you’ll often find that your bag of leaves will last the week – if you can keep them that long!
