Queen's Park Farmers Market


We were told about a little weekend farmers market not far from Mat's house in Queens Park, so we had a stroll up on a very cold Sunday afternoon and immediately wanted to buy everything! From amazing looking fish cakes, to fresh game, beef stews, cheeses and chutney's, pies and the all important cakes and tarts. In the end we settled for a very tasty free range hot dog for lunch and brought two mini quiches for tea - a butternut squash one and the other a red pepper and goats cheese with the most amazing selection of salad leaves, we then treated ourselves to two huge slices of cake, banana and pecan with a cream cheese frosting and a chocolate and guinness cake with vanilla frosting.

  2. Amazing! ! The two flavours really complimented each other and made the chocolate cake less sickly!
