Kew Village Market Stall
On Sunday 6th October 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 6th october 2019
- This month’s charity stall will be Kew Rotary.
- In our bright yellow music marquee there’ll be two great acts: the swinging sounds of the Richmond Youth Jazz Band followed by the a cappella harmonies of GinSing Quartet (think female barbershop).
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
Oven-ready seasonal game & venison
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.
DELICATESSEN
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!
We keep the olive in the olive oil! We bring you single-estate, unfiltered, organic olive oil, bottled fresh from milling (four weeks from the tree to the bottle – no-one else brings it in this fresh to the UK!). These are ‘finishing’ oils for drizzling on dishes and dipping with bread. When we have presented these oils at events such as the Real Food Festival and the Food and Drink Expo, people have said they’ve never tasted olive oil as good. That’s because it’s the authentic taste of olive oil – the taste every olive farmer knows!
A real Kew favourite, this stall specialises in award-winning Italian-style hard cheeses: Sussex Charmer, which combines the recipes for a mature Cheddar with that of a Parmesan; and Twickenham Grange, the only Vegetarian Society-approved Parmesan-style cheese.
Homi Jennings (of regular jewellery stall Gallery 66) is also a herbalist and has now launched a new venture selling unusual blends of herbal teas to promote health and wellbeing. She also sells special silk gift pouches of Iranian saffron.
Always a popular stall, here’s where to land fantastic fishy deli, from said fishcakes and fish pie to tartare sauce and lobster oil, garnished with a more than a handful of Great Taste Awards.
We’re delighted to welcome Kew resident Rob Hilton with his delicious traditionally hand-cured Charcuterie meats – bresaola, pancetta, coppa and lomo – delicately infused with winter flavours of juniper, rosemary and fennel. A perfect addition to your weekend feasts and also to enjoy in a cone, street food style, as you shop.

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.
Here you’ll find the sort of sweet delicacies enjoyed by South American families, including Alfajores – melt-in-the-mouth filled light biscuits made with cornflour so they’re gluten-free too.

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.
Igor Occhiali makes home-baked artisan breads, using a long fermentation process and organic flours, and shaping his cottage loaves, bloomers, ciabatta and focaccia by hand.

His stall at Kew Village Market has been such a success that he opened his own shop in Twickenham, called after his young son.

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.
