I'll be here with my Mexican inspired street food van.
And new on the menu is Burrito Bowls.
What to Buy in June
June brings the true essence of early summer to the Garden of England, filling the market with fresh, vibrant, and locally grown produce. Here is your essential shopping guide for the month.
Seasonal Fruit & Vegetables
Strawberries & Gooseberries: Plump, red strawberries are at their peak—perfect for picnics or paired with cream. Tart green gooseberries are flourishing; cook them into a classic fool with crushed biscuits, or stew them into a sharp sauce for oily fish.
Summer Veggies: Stock up on Swiss chard, carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, runner beans, beetroot, and versatile courgettes. Enjoy them raw in crisp, colorful salads, or lightly boil and toss with butter and seeds.
Globe Artichokes: Plump and heavy, these are ready to steam with garlic, bay, and lemon. Dip the tender leaves in vinaigrette for a delicious seasonal treat.
Fresh Catch of the Month
Sea Trout: Now in season and spectacular when baked whole in foil with fresh herbs and lemon.
Daily Catches: Look out for fresh landings from Folkestone and Whitstable, including Brown Crab, Haddock, Po***ck, Cod, and Whitebait. Cod and Coley are ideal for a comforting, cheesy fish pie.
Local Drinks
Quench your summer thirst with locally pressed apple cider, Kentish wines, and craft ales—all excellent for barbecues. For refreshing non-alcoholic options, pick up crisp apple juices or healthy fermented kombuchas. Finally, grab some artisan herbal teas or freshly roasted single-estate coffee beans to enjoy after a busy morning of shopping.
Plants & Gardens
While it is late for early summer blossoms, it’s the perfect time to plant for the future. Don't hesitate to ask stallholders for their expert advice.
