On the very first day, I remember a "galettes and crepes" stall was mentioned. So, I started dreaming about it and then what.... What happened?
I think it would be amazing as a second option for hotfood!
The coffee guy really needs sorting though. Great product, disastrous service. It's not just that he's slow - there's no attempt to organise a queue or ensure that people are served in order. Also, if the market opens at 10:00 then that's when he should be ready to serve. We asked at 10:00, he said it would be fifteen minutes before we could order, it was 09:50 before we actually got a coffee.
Also it would be nice if there could be some bread other than sourdough, as much as I like sourdough.
Sounds like a whinge, sorry. Overall it's ace and we'll keep coming.
Ned, are you the man on the middle stall that sells the totes, cider, bread, etc?
Galettes & crepes are here this weekend! Apparently it's tough for them at the moment so it might not be every week but I'll obviously let you know...it should be amazing stuff.
As for bread, there's rye bread and son there'll be spelt & GF but I know they are v niche options too. An italian man is joining soon who mostly does pasta but can make bread too so I'll ask if he'd bring some ciabatta etc...

HIghlights are fish, guernsey milk & yoghurt, crepes & galettes, and an amazing new stall selling handmade brownies & truffles...
I'm going to help Billy (coffee) as much as I can this time, and he's found someone to work with him properly from Sunday 15th. So we're getting on!
See you on Sunday!

I'm really sorry for everyone expecting fish: Seafayre can't come due to family issues. David was very apologetic & I can only guess it's something quite enexpected & difficult...anyway he says they'll certainly be back in 2 weeks (that's the 15th).
Everyone else is still on. See you!
Thanks to those who came on Sunday in spite of the dodgy weather. Here are a few things to know about:
1) The coffee was quicker this time, I think? And we've found someone to help out from now on so it should always be at least as slick as that, probably more so...
2) the crepes/galettes seemed to go down really well (I thought they were great anyway!), and she says she'll come back this Sunday too. Do check the list though on Friday (https://www.stroudgreenmarket.com/thisweek) and as you may know you can sign up on that page for an email update every weekend...
3) more stalls should be coming over the next week or two (including the long-awaited organic veg...I'm afraid somebody let us down so it's been delayed somewhat). Again, check the website (or here of course)
4) Sorry again about the fish! As I said they were v apologetic & should be back in two weeks time...and they're hoping to be weekly before long.
5) I'm going to order some more bread this time so there should be some to buy even towards the end of the day.
As always your feedback's really helpful! More definite info about this Sunday is coming later in the week.
Best wishes!
Ed

Bread by Bike has it's one stall now with enough sourdough bread buns & baguettes for everybody; one new hot food stall (awesome, I think); and very local London honey now sold on the stall in the middle...
see you there!

Most exciting things:
1) NEW organic fruit & veg farm (so two in total)
2) FISH again (very soon to be weekly so you won't be always wondering)
3) wonderful THAI food
Thank you!
