Farmers Market

What a glorious location for a fantabulous farmers market. And this market has it all, from the coffee stall to the veg stall to the flower stall to the meat stall and beyond. There’s something for everyone on the second Saturday of every month in this village, which, I’m told, dates back to the Doomsday Book.
There’s a stall selling great meat, for sure. But better than that there’s someone with a griddle cooking sumptuous and sizeable lamb sausages and burgers from the same stall. Cooking them perfectly, and putting them with onions, relish or blue cheese sauce if you so desire. Not a fan, then try the hog roast. If you can get past the full pig on a stick, it’s delectable, especially with apple sauce.
For vegetarians there’s a smaller savoury selection, olives, but a great choice of desserts from the Pudding Compartment to the few bakery stalls.
The Woolton in Bloom stall raises money for those wonderful ladies who make this archetypal village look so good, hanging baskets and flowers adorning almost every wall and lamppost.
If there is a problem with the market it’s that it rarely changes. On the odd occasion the crêpe man turns up, though, it’s a real treat.
