With an abundance of varied produce, set in such a magnificent location, a visit to Deddington Farmers Market has got to be top of your list for a visit.
We just love the butchery stalls, so much choice and so different.
I would advise you to get here early. There isn’t much parking as the market is in the Market Place but the stalls are well stocked. I particularly like Knife & Fork Bakery Uk as I understand they make from natural ingredients and use flour milled by them. I bought, gluten free breads including sourdough, rosemary & garlic focaccia, farmhouse with a seeded top as well as gluten free brownies and marshmallows - all of which were to die for. My daughter is Coeliac and she announced that this was the most wonderful and tasty gf bread she had ever eaten. I’m sure other coeliac’s would agree that shop bought bread is completely different to Knife & Forks and not not in a good way ! The queue for Knife & Fork was extremely long (other coeliacs have obviously cottoned on) but I managed to get sourdough, focaccia and marshmallows so I was very pleased. I would definitely recommend buying from Knife & Fork Bakery Uk.
Lovely authentic market. Lots of different types of stalls from flowers, to cheese, to photos, oils, saddlery, bakery, pies etc. Would’ve spent lots of £ had I got some!! Will visit again.
Hello Daisy, thank you for reviewing our market favourably. We do try to be an authenic market as we look for quality produce from primary producers and taste test before we accept a new stallholder, where apppropriate. We hope you do come again and soon! best wishes from us all.
I have been coming for years. I arrive early as it becomes hard to find parking space in Deddington on market day (it's so popular). I often go to the Mushroom patie, lady and the blue brie lady. You can also stroll over to Eagles the dele which we nickname "Harrods of Deddington", then there are the stalls in the village church.
(I think the only non represented is a good olive stall then Deddington Market would be complete)
Hello Ian W thanks for your review. We are delihgted that you've been coming for years and still enjoy your visits. Car parking has improved lately as visitors can now use the Health Centre and School car parks in Earls Lane. The reason we do not have an olive stall is that we try very hard to ensure that the majority of the produce is grown, produced or made within 30 miles of Deddington, thus supporting the local economy. Though after a summer like we've just had we may have olives before too long. regards Deddington Farmers' Market.
I enjoy visiting farmers markets and there are some good ones around in this region. Deddington farmers market was probably the best in the area some years ago, however, most of the best stalls have left for other markets and it now remains a shadow of what it used to be.
Hello Grenvillegill
Thank you for your comment. I am sorry you feel this to be the case - our 2k visitors on Saturday seemed quite happy with the 40+ stalls, many of which sold out by 11am. I have no idea which stallholders you believe have deserted us for other markets and think your comment does not do credit to the quality produce that is on offer at Deddington. Hey ho, we are all entitled to our opinion. Best wishes
This is a great local market. Clearly the stalls are local producers who come back to the market time and time again. It has a good range of local meats, veg, drinks and crafts. Mainly the food aspect is in the village square. There is a great mixture of food ready to eat and fresh produce. The inside of the Church, just off the square is the location for locals to trade crafts. At the core of the market is the concept of local producers. This is not a market with clothing, tacky luggage or CDs. This is focussed on local producers. The artisan bread is worth a loaf and similarly the meat supplied is great. I firmly believe in supporting local producers and this is a good way to do it. This does come with a cost. Obviously you can shop far more cheaply at the supermarkets. But as the occasional treat the market provides great produce.
Thank you Oxyfish1 - a perfect decription of the market and what we try to do. cheers
