New
market set to satisfy gourmet appetites
Brent
Cross has long been celebrated as a destination for the fashion-savvy, but it
will soon become a must-visit site for foodies too when a new food market opens
on the 26
April.
The
market – seen as North
London ’s answer to some of the best markets elsewhere in the capital
– will take over the area by John Lewis in the centre’s car park
every Friday and Saturday, throughout the year. More than 200 traders from
across the UK have applied to become a part of it and now organisers have
narrowed it down to the best 50 to create the ultimate foodie experience for
North London.
The
Brent Cross Food Market will be offering delicacies from around the world as
well as locally sourced meats, dairy products, vegetables and mouth-watering
treats for an indulgent food experience. The carefully selected stalls will
include the best seasonal produce, exotic goodies as well as artisan groceries.
And for those who cannot wait to sample tasty goodies the market will offer some
of the best street food around from chefs cooking up everything from exotic
Caribbean dishes to spicy Spanish paella. The
multicultural offering will also include Indian, Malaysian, French and Jewish
specialties.

Cross Food Market will be the best in the area and further shows that we are a
real destination for stylish food, with offerings that you can't replicate
online.”
