The smoked hake was alright but very expensive, about 10pounds for 250g
The pulled pork was very tender and juicy, but rather expensive as well for 12. The crispy skin wasn't very good, it's very hard. Normally you have to request for it anyway so just dont
Strawberries were great from the grocery stall in the centre, could have been sweeter but were very juicy and large. The only problem with that stall is the rather confusing promotion, there's many different signs saying different things and apparently all of the berries can be included in the 3 for 6.8£ deal, including some of the other fruits, but only 2 out of the 4 berries have the 4 for 8£ deal
The belted Galloway steak really was quite good, it's extremely tender (so much so that I overcooked the cap thinking it wasn't done yet) and full bodied. However there's also a pronounced bitterness, not sure if it's just my problem but that really affected the enjoyment
Kedar milk really was something. No wonder they have a perpetual queue, come before 1030 for a shorter queue. One sip and you immediately can tell the difference between theirs and normal milk. It's got a very pleasant natural underlying sweetness, is full bodied, and creamy in a very gentle way. Absolutely delicious, high fat content but not...

Read moreI'd not been before but loved it. It's so good to get close to the people who trade and to come away with fresh organic vegetables, meat and fish, and bread, without the plastic. It's generally not cheap, but probably what they charge is what real food really costs to be wholesome and sustainable for both the environment and the people trying to make a living of the produce. We're so misled by the supermarkets who will sell us cheap stuff mostly in an attempt to then sell us lots more stuff that we don't need but are made to desire through all the clever advertising and packaging. It's fully accessible as it's on the pavement and if you come early you should be able to find a nearby parking spot with your blue badge on a single or double yellow line without restrictions. Not sure if there are public accessible toilets anywhere nearby, but the filmhouse on Lothian Road has a great cafe /restaurant plus totally...
