The ultimate West End destination

From 3rd April, Covent Garden will become the ultimate West End destination for fresh produce on Saturdays.

Easter Weekend will see the Covent Garden Real Food Market make its long awaited return to the East Piazza. Following popular demand, the iconic London food market, previously held every Thursday, will now continue every Saturday from 3rd April 2010 until Christmas - now the only market in the West End where foodies can pick up top quality fresh produce on the weekend.

Visitors to the Piazza will be able to buy the best ingredients and fresh produce to cook at home, as well as sumptuous treats from choice traders such as The Great British Sausage, Polish Deli, Sporeboys and Woodwards Farm, plus food blogger favourites including world-renowned Eat Like A Girl.

In addition, a special Tasty Hour will take place on Saturday 3rd April from 3-4pm, where members of the public will have the chance to sample the delicious produce from the market for free!

Throughout this year a Happy Hour 2-for-1 offer will also run on Tuesdays from 6-7pm in participating restaurants and cafes in and around the Market Building. For full details visit the Covent Garden London website.

The critically acclaimed Food Bloggers stall will also be making a comeback to the market. World leading food experts will be hosting stalls from April until the end of the year, that will be serving up some of their favourites and sharing top tips and food insights right on the Piazza. Last year’s food blogger highlights included Eat Like A Girl, Hollow Legs, A Slice of Cherry Pie, The Ginger Gourmand, More Tea Vicar?, From a North London Kitchen and Gastro Geek. Make sure you follow Covent Garden London on Twitter or visit the website for more information on the Food Blogger stall. 

Covent Garden Brand Director Bev Churchill commented, “Now in its fourth year, The Covent Garden Real Food Market has been a huge success and we are continuing to develop the market to make it the ultimate destination for fresh produce in Central London. We have moved the market to a Saturday in order for the local community, as well as visitors to the area, to do their local weekly shop at the market and have the freshest, quality ingredients to cook with at home.”
