Welcome to Lewes Food Market

Lewes has a weekly food market and can once again reclaim the title of market town!

 

May - Producer Profile: David Stechler, Smoker

If you come across a large cardboard box or a filing cabinet with a steady trickle of smoke emanating from it, chances are that David Stechler is close by. David believes that his skill and care can be tasted in his product and that his smoked and cured gravelax salmon products are much more delicious than the mass-produced product on offer in the supermarkets. more...

Our latest project, The Market Year, has just launched. Each month, throughout the year, a free booklet will be published featuring a profile of a local producer and the food they supply. We’ll also give you tips on what’s available in season and offer carefully chosen recipes using locally produced food.   On the first Friday of each month there will be cooking demonstrations & tastings – your chance to talk about our wonderful Sussex produce & discover new ways to enjoy eating seasonally & locally.    Cover illustration: Lindsey Ann Smith

 

Our stallholders can proudly tell you where and how their foods were farmed or processed as well as give you cooking advice and recipes.

 

Lewes Food Market offers an abundance of high quality food brought from local producers. You'll find a wide range of competitively priced, fresh produce so you can do your weekly shopping at the market.

 

By shopping at Lewes Food Market, you’re helping to maintain the viability of our local producers and so sustaining and protecting our local food supplies. 

 

You’re also using fewer food miles so you are helping to protect the environment. Shopping regularly at Lewes Food Market is fun and relaxing – just the place to meet up with old friends and make some new ones.
