Rosewood London, Slow Food & Living Market and Deli

Slow Food & Living Market
Rosewood London, Slow Food & Living Market
A few months ago, the hotel Rosewood London started its Slow Food & Living Market. It’s headed by Executive Chef Amandine Chaignot, who has worked with the hotel to recreate the traditional Holborn marketplace. The event organizers offer a weekly shopping experience that displays clean, high-quality produce from local businesses.So, after hearing a lot of buzz surrounding this London market, I figured I’d check it out on Sunday and grab a bite to eat . My first stop was the market itself, a small yet lively market that boasts its full stock of fresh produce. Slow Food UK has really stepped up its game with this market. It has gathered over 30 merchants to participate, all of which were chosen for their quality foods and service.

During my first visit, I noticed a lot of families and friends enjoying their time there. Seeing as this is the only Slow Food UK market in London, I suppose both the merchants and customers who congregate here have formed some sort of close-knit community. The friendliness and familial atmosphere was actually quite pleasant, and getting to know the local growers and artisans helped me grow an appreciation for all the beautiful produce I saw.

Apart from the market, the Rosewood London also hosts the Mirror Room, Scarfes Bar and finally the Holborn Dining Room where we had lunch. These establishments all follow the theme of “Slow Food,” which means they use fresh and local ingredients that have been grown with high-end farming techniques.

The goal of Slow Food is to remain health and environmentally conscious. All the dairy and eggs sold in the market contain no GMOs, hormones, or added antibiotics. Additionally, the meat is pasture-raised and wild fish is responsibly caught.

I was able to enjoy my meal (it was absolutely delicious, by the way – see below) knowing that I wasn’t consuming tons of hidden chemicals and other additives.

This sensational market in London also features a private Living Room, which is located on the ground floor of the hotel. On Sundays, it’s a great play area for your children. Don’t worry, it’s fully supervised by at least two adults! While I don’t have first-hand experience with the place, I passed by and noticed many different activities that are available there, including Football and several board games. The Living Room is open every week between 11am and 4pm, and available for children 3-12 years of age. I was told by organizers that spaces are limited and requires a consent form, so parents who are interested in childcare at this London market should keep this in mind.

Rosewood London features the Slow Food & Living Market every single Sunday between 10am to 3:30pm. It opens no matter what, rain or shine, so whenever you’re feeling peckish or need a fun outing, check this place out!

    Great post! I love wild garlic but don't know where to find it near where I live… I would've enjoyed exploring the different foods on offer.

    We have an amazing local market but I would definitely pop in to see this if I was in town.

    Beautifully presented market, although in truth I've found that most true farmer's markets build up a community and friendly atmosphere quite fast. Also used to find that at Brixton farmers market when I lived there, anyway.

    I'm always drawn in by an artisanal bread/cake stall – Its the cake! And then you take us to a Scotch Egg! My most fave savoury thing in the world! Looks like two more locations to add to my must visit list.
