Duke of York Square fine food market

Each weekend Partridges organises a market, which occupies the square in the autumn and winter and spreads to the running track in the spring and summer.

This market focuses on international food, with stalls selling dishes and delicacies from across the globe. For example, there is street food from Korea and Vietnam, Colombia, Argentina and the Middle East, as well as pastries and baked goods from all over Europe. At the same time, you have stalls selling more local produce – oysters from Maldon in Essex, and Giselle Richardson’s English-made macarons – and other stalls selling champagne to make sure that nobody goes thirsty.

For those with a street tooth, why not try Casa Cannoli and their fresh cannoli with ingredients imported directly from Sicily. They also invent their own flavours and combinations, such as Piedmont hazelnut, Sicilian lemon, and chocolate chip. Alternatively, Babelle Canalé make the traditional Bordeaux delicacy in a range of flavours, from rum to salted caramel, with an all-French team mixing everything by hand. However, if you want something more filling, visit Rainforest Creations, a specialist in tropical, raw and organic foods, with gorgeous spreads of Caribbean salads, wraps, dips and drinks.
