Recreating the hustle and bustle, sights and smells and variety of produce at London’s Borough Market, the Metro Sourced Market debuts at this year’s Lovebox - providing a complimentary range to what the Evening Standard referred to last year as the “best festival food ever seen”. Whether you fancy an oyster or three washed down with a glass of organic Proseco or a free range reared hog roast, the Sourced Market makes for an ideal lunchtime stop.
Here are a taste of some of the delights on offer:
Rainha Santa: Lashings of porquetta (in a secret marinade) served in fresh ciabatta with a homemade English Bramley sauce
Northfield Farm: One of Boroughs leading rare breed butchers. “The best burgers I have ever eaten” Clarissa Dickson Wright. “Fantastic rare breed meat” Rick Stein. What more can we say?
Spore Boys: exotic, cultivated and wild mushrooms cooked up into their infamous risotto or fried with garlic and parsley for a truly memorable sandwich
Madame Gautier: lovingly made French food for people who care about taste, provenance and the pleasure of food
Gujarati Rasoi: sensational vegetarian Indian food famous across London’s leading farmers markets
Banger Brothers: seven great bangers, three ways; in a bun, on a salad or simply on its own. Choose between outstanding Spanish chorizo; the polish smoky one or the good old British Banger
Chocostar: What was once an ice cream van has now become the country’s first mobile chocolate bar; a veritable hotbed of tempting treats all dedicated to chocolate
Keenwah: When these guys found that they went to festivals and could never find anything tasty to eat they decided to start up their own business making wholesome, whole food salads.
