We are pleased to announce that our Farmers’ Markets will resume from this Sunday (7 June) with Epsom Farmers’ Market.

It goes without saying that the markets’ will look and feel differently moving forward as we comply with the Government guidelines and recommendations to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The health and safety of our customers and traders is of upmost importance to us and so we ask that you follow the social distancing and other Government guidelines when attending your local market.

Markets, as they have always been, are a great place to shop in the open air, from independent local businesses.

We are grateful for your continued support during these challenging times!

RoniB’s Kitchen

RoniB’s Kitchen is a small producer of gourmet Philippine flavoured sauces, chilli products and preserves made with the finest all-natural ingredients.  All products are made in small batches using family recipes and the best quality ingredients to give a unique and delicious home-made taste that reflects the many flavours of the Philippines. 

The sauces and chilli products are packed with flavour making it easy to use in cooking and livening up your favourite dishes. The chilli products are so versatile that you can add them in dishes from any cuisine.

The jams and marmalade are unique flavours made with fruits from the islands, which you will not find in any high street store. The Kalamansi (Philippine lime) marmalade is splashed with Don Papa Rum, a premium Philippine rum and perfect on toast or filled doughnuts. The Guava and Papaya Soft Set Jam are refreshingly packed with tropical flavours that will transport you to the islands. While the Tamarind jam made with Tarsier Gin (Southeast Asian gin) is perfect with strong cheeses or tossed in Asian pulled meat dishes.

They are free from artificial preservatives, flavourings or colourings and because they are made from plant-based ingredients, they are suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

Saturday 2nd December sees the fifth year of the campaign ‘Small Business Saturday’. At Surrey Markets we are very proud to be supporting and promoting this fantastic idea! On Small Business Saturday we’ll be at Walton Farmers Market at The Heart Shopping Centre flying the flag for local businesses from 9.30am – 2.00pm. We hope you will join us and shop local for all your Christmas gifts.

What is Small Business Saturday all about?

Small Business Saturday is a not for profit campaign supporting small businesses across the UK. The aim is to highlight small business success, to encourage consumers to ‘shop local’ and to support small businesses within our communities. The campaign has now been running for five years and takes place on the first Saturday in December each year.

We hope the 2017 campaign will be as successful as it was last year! Did you know..

– Customers spent £717m with small businesses on Small Business Saturday, an increase of 15% on the previous years spending

– Over 140,000 tweets were sent on the day reaching 130 million people, trending on Twitter in the UK and globally

– Over 80% of local authorities across the UK actively supported the campaign in a variety of ways, from networking events to free parking, meaning wherever you were in the UK, Small Business Saturday was happening nearby

You can find out more on their website or join the online campaign by using or searching the hashtag: #SmallBizSatUK

The French Comté

The French Comté

Finest cheeses and charcuterie from Franche-Comté.

Florent and Fabien, both from the French Jura Mountains, handpicked the very best with a passion for food, wine and the artisan traditions of their region. They come from a long line of farmers, butchers and craftsmen who have been producing their foods and running market stalls for generations.

Since 2011, they bring the flavours of their mountains to the UK. From the famous Comté cheese, available in 4 different ages, to the well kept secret delicacies as the Val de Loue or the Cancoillotte, or their surprising range of saucisson (Pistachios, Walnuts, Comté or even Olives and tomatoes!), they aim to give you what is simply the MOST important thing: “the perfect quality you deserve.”

Emilia

Emilia

Emilia has been based at the famous London Borough Market for over 6 years! Their shop – Bianca e Mora specialises in food from Northern Italy, in particular the region of Emilia Romagna, the heart of gastronomic Italy.

Their range can broadly be split into three types; cheese, charcuterie and balsamic vinegar. Emilia’s speciality is Parmesan, and it not only stocks multiple ages, but also the hyper rare brown and red cow varieties. The charcuterie comes from the very smallest producers, with a particular emphasis on Slow Food Ark of Taste and Slow Food Presidia.

In short it is a shop run by people who believe that food should be available for all, a shop that is run to the values of Slow Food – good, clean and fair. It is therefore no surprise that Bianca e Mora have won best cheese, best deli/grocer and best individual product (red cow Parmesan) at the Slow Food Awards for the last three years..

Petit Jardin d’Art
Andy Wilmott

Petit Jardin d’Art

Petit Jardin d’Art is an independent artist offering gift ideas of visually stunning living pictures and miniature gardens using fabulous succulents as the stars of the show! 

Every piece is handmade using up-cycled materials, no two are the same.. each piece is unique! 

Beautiful architectural succulents adorn the frames of the living pictures, a unique alternative to the hanging basket! They will grow and mature happily in the vertical frame in a sunny, sheltered spot on a wall, fence or even your summerhouse or shed. Succulents are easy to look after and with love will grow, produce young plant, some flower, die down and then the process is repeated. Your own Circle of Life in a frame! 

Miniature gardens brimming with succulents would look amazing on your windowsill or patio table. From handmade rustic crates filled with hand painted terracotta pots to beautiful vintage crockery and French glass all hand finished to make the perfect gift for someone you care about. 

 I would love to extol the virtues of these wonderful little plants and am happy to take personal commissions.  It would be great to hear from you.
