FOOD & DRINK

Do you have a sweet tooth that needs satisfying?

Sicilian Bites – freshly filled, handmade cannoli or have you tried Love Lamingtons – an Australian favourite given a UK twist. If you love classic home baking, you need to check out Marmalady – a stall full of home bakes, home made preserves & hand crocheted blankets. For chocolate lovers, you have choices! The Brownie Owl is here, hand made rich, delectable brownies or handmade chocolates from our resident chocolatier R & M Fine Chocolates (the passionfruit milk chocolate is divine…) Need a dessert for Sunday Lunch, try Jo’s Sticky Toffee Pudding a market staple and hugely popular or peruse Rosia Bakery – a full range of hand made cakes, cookies and traybakes. Whilst choosing what to take home, enjoy a hand made ice cream or crepe from Exclusive Scoops.

Sunday Lunch planning?

For a joint or hand made, locally provenanced sausages chat to our market butchers, Ray at Haycroft Meadow or Hilary at Webbs Beef. Africa Al offer handmade sauces for all your choices and Greek Oil Direct for that rub of olive oil on your gorgeous steak…teamed with Elliot Eastwick’s World Famous Hot Sauce, which needs no introducion from me! Or how about freshly made pizzas to hurry home with, warm and satisfying – Crescent Catering or freshly made, hand filled ravioli to take home Nonna Teresa and it’s difficult to walk past Artisam home of arancini and truffle chips.

Looking for a bite to eat rather than full roast dinner? We have choices:) Hand raised hotwater pastry pies from All About Pies or pakoras from Adil at Alam’s, olives as a side Green Farm Olives. Wide choice of truckle cheeses from Cheese is Grate and deli range from Deli On The Go. Deli On The Go is were you can source your local honey from Fozz-Bees. Cheshire Bakehouse warm or cold savoury pastries with a new twist, scotch eggs from The Staffordshire Scotch Egg Co who are conveniently sited right next to FatJax so that you can team them up with your favourite chutney. Have you ever tried an onion bahji, hand made that morning? Try Nina’s bhaji’s at The Spice Yard.

I always feel every market should have a bread stall and a plant stall – we filled the brief! Artisane Breads and pastries and Par Gardens to fulfil all your horticultural dreams.

No meal is complete without drinks, we have Moorhen Gin, Heatons produced gin and Vino Buono for Italian wine and know how. Bring a bottle to be filled, eco – friendly and cheaper. Artisan coffee beans and ground beans available from B’Spoke Coffee, you may recognise Nick from his coffee shop / hut by the station and teas from Tiger Tea. And while you are choosing we have fresh, barista coffee to drink now from Extreme Coffee, just how you like it.

Did someone menion canines? Dogs fully catered for:) Pupcakes from The Dog Cake Co and you can order doggy birhday cakes and for the best fully attired dog around, have a look at Barkley & Fetch.

ARTS & CRAFTS

Self care should come higher than most of us make it. Have a chat wih Rebecca at Roots Vegan Skincare, she makes all her own products and is highly qualified and later get your feet up whilst enjoying a candle from Scents & Solace or the fragrance from a spritz c/o The White Bunny.

We have many, many talented artisans around the Heatons. Audrinka Art and Kate O’Brien Art both very different visual artists, buy on the day or place a commission. Kitsch Republic create quirky cushions, coasters & lampshades. Chiselled Features by Paul can make you a bespoke house number plaque or set of granite coasters.

See you on Sunday!

Imagine next Sunday March 6th to be a beautiful early spring day…there is no wind, no rain (I can dream!) and I have 2 very large shopping bags that can fit 51 items in. This is my personal shopping bag / Heaton Moor market supermarket sweep daydream…

I would choose a plant from https://www.pargardens.co.uk/ my favourite pie from http://www.allaboutpies.co.uk/ to go alongside samosas from http://www.alams.co.uk/ and fat olives from https://www.facebook.com/delishshops/.

I need a present for my friend. I should find something beautiful here https://vintagelovebytrine.co.uk/ or maybe a candle https://www.scentsandsolace.co.uk/ or a cushion https://www.kitschrepublic.co.uk/ or commision a painting! https://kate-obrien-art.myshopify.com/

My stomach is rumbling and more specifically rumbling for cake and dessert – yum! https://www.thebrownieowl.co.uk/ & https://marmalady.co.uk/ & https://www.facebook.com/RosiaBakery/ and https://www.sicilianbites.co.uk/ or https://www.sticky-toffee-jo.com/

OK, focus…I need cheese https://www.facebook.com/justgratecheese/ and chutney https://www.fatjax.com/ and fresh bread https://www.facebook.com/artisaneLiverpool/ with some zhoug to heat things up https://www.instagram.com/delionthego_/?hl=en and hot sauce https://worldfamoushotsauce.co.uk/ to accompany my scotch egg https://www.facebook.com/ssseuk/

Making excellent progress here. What next? Drinks! Start with a barista coffee to fortify me on my shopping spree https://www.extremecoffee.co.uk/ with loose tea to take home https://tigerteaco.co.uk/ and a bag of coffee beans https://www.bspokecoffeehouse.co.uk/ But we’ll need a nice bottle of Italian wine for later https://vinobuono.co.uk/ with a gin and tonic for an aperitif (obvs!) https://www.moorhengin.com/

Talk of wine has put me in mind of sorting out my evening meal, next stop https://www.cheadlefarm.co.uk/ and https://www.facebook.com/Haycroftmeadow/ for meat, https://greekoliveoildirect.com/ for olive oil and home grown mushrooms. Then on to peruse a choice of sauce from https://africa-als.co.uk/

My nephew’s birthday is on the horizon, I’m sure to find something with https://www.borntobewildchild.com/ or maybe from https://www.instagram.com/themoonandthebee/ along with a handmade toy https://www.facebook.com/crochetboutiqueuk/ and a card from https://www.flamingopaperie.co.uk/web/heatherthorpe

Never forgetting to treat myself! https://www.kalawalshceramics.co.uk/ maybe signing up for one of her courses and talking of courses, I love pasta…https://www.nonnateresa.co.uk/

I lost one of my favourite earrings the other day, therefore essential shopping is buying a replacement pair because, well, just because…https://www.beautifullyboho.co.uk/ and https://www.facebook.com/thecraftcroft/ Oooh just noticed handmade notebooks https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/EtLibri and a bag for my sister https://www.wildatheart.online/bags

My bags are getting heavy now, shopping is not for the fainthearted! It’s a good bicep workout carrying shopping and to prove it I shall buy a granite set of coasters from https://www.chiselledfeatures.co.uk/ then gently nudge a handpainted bottle in next to them from Mary at Daisy Designs and in a seperate bag, as I cannot resist, a print from https://audrinka.art/

Quick stop and sniff at https://www.rootsveganskincare.co.uk/ for a new shampoo bar and it is most definitely time for an ice-cream https://www.exclusivescoop.co.uk/ where the hardest decision is ‘which flavour?’

Last but not least, time for a sit down and bite to eat. Now then…https://www.thecheshirebakehouse.co.uk/ or truffle fries from https://www.artisam.co.uk/ or maybe both? Or pizza https://www.facebook.com/CrescentCateri1/

Time to retreat, eat, have a cup of tea and admire my purchases in the gardens of https://www.stpaulsheatonmoor.org.uk/ where they offer ‘Tea in the Garden’ or go and admire the amazing array of dogs meandering through https://www.heatonmoorpark.co.uk/ Which reminds me, I need a new dog lead, good job https://www.barkleyandfetch.co.uk/ are at the market and I could treat him to a pup cake (my dog is 15…) https://www.thedogcakeco.com/, I think I need to go back…..and wait a minute, I think I missed supporting the table raising money for The Scouts Jamboree. That’s it then, I definitely need to go back and there may be more than 51 items in these bags…..

It may be freezing out there but the good traders of Heaton Moor Producers Market have wardrobes full of thermals and coats big and warm enough to house 3 students.

Saturday November 20th heralds the latest pop-up market on the cobbles of St John’s Place SK4 4BR just in front of St John the Baptist Church. Such a pretty spot in the heart of Heaton Mersey.

The stalls below will all be up and running from 11-3pm with community and charity stalls in the church too.

But…best of all, Santa is coming! At 11.45am (ish) he is coming through the market to say hello to everyone before retiring to his grotto in The Heaton – access to the grotto through the carpark at the back of The Heaton, just follow your nose through the market (literally as there will be hotfood on offer outside at the back of The Heaton too) Santa will be available for all visitors between 12-2pm.

For children we also have a roundabout / funfair ride and a Hook a Duck stall.

So, expect to hear ukeleles, to smell fresh pizza being made, to admire fine handmade products, to look nostalgically upon the roundabout and Hook a Duck, pop into the church for a look around, a mooch through the stalls, quick cup of tea and out again to play some games with the Stella Maris team, then off to see Santa followed by a well deserved rest and sit down with a drink at The Heaton. That’s next Saturday sorted!

The calendar is definitely advancing into winter and step by step approaching Christmas. Given the earlier flapping in the press about Christmas gifts not being available due to supply chain issues, why don’t you come and support local, independent businesses. No shortages here! You can pick up presents on Sunday or order for collection or go ‘bespoke’ and personalise your presents. From hampers to commisioned artworks, from ordering your pigs in blankets to booking our facepainter / caricaturist for your Christmas party, we are the place to come on Sunday!

If you would like to place any orders before this market, but do not have the contact details, email me: heatonmoormarkets@gmail.com and I will make sure your message is passed on.

Regular plea – please don’t leave your car on Shaw rd overnight, otherwise it will get blocked in and it cuases us huge problems having to work round them. Thanks!
