Curry Box UK
 

 

Authentic indian food made with passion is the strapline and so far I have tried the delicious Gurjurati Mango Chutney - it is a mango chutney with a real kick and would work equally as well with cold meats as it does as part of your Indian Meal.  Another regular attender at Stone and Stafford farmers market, the best thing to do is go and chat to Simon Parbhu who will proudly show his products and explain his meal deals to you.  A good choice of home produced meals for meat eaters or for vegetarians - its a feast for the eyes to see the stall

London Road Bakehouse

This is some of the best Low GL handmade bread that is sold at the farmers markets and various outlets around Staffordshire.  I make my own bread but if I am at the markets I tend to buy this as it really is delicious.  It is made in a traditional bakery in Stoke on Trent.  The breads are handmade and backed in coal-fired ovens every morning.  Check out the website and you never know you might fancy trying one of the bakery classes.  Gareth now has opened a wonderful Mediterranean styled bistro at Trentham Gardens which is well worth a visit
