Some great produce (some excellent fresh veg, organic meat and bread available). Bread41’s van is a real treat but arrive early before they sell out. Some of the prepared food vendors are OK, with international and national food served including Asian, pizza, crepes, cheese toasties, good smoothies and more - but I tend to come for the produce rather than the prepped food, which is ok but less standout.
Great selection of food...veg..fruit and lots of other interesting stalls. Produce is a bit expensive but worth it! Lots of families, dog walkers..plenty of room for people to move around..sit...eat..chill. Well worth a visit!
A medium sized market with an excellent selection of products on offer. Could possibly do with more of the trinkets and baubles to entice a larger crowd. Sellers were accessible with reasonable queues despite the exceptional weather. Worth the visit.
If you want to spend a perfect morning in the park, that's the place. Coffee, bread, pastries, all kinds of food served in the market. Handcrafted items, even a bike repair van, in case you need service for your bike. Excellent!
Great Experience..Lots of food to choose from.. Expect an Irish Weather(Sunny now then after a minute it will rain) 😂 One of the best park and food market i have been. 🙂
