Timmy’s Pies @ Chelsea Farmers Market

I had a pretty awesome – and very British – lunch yesterday: a slow roast pork pie with stuffing and rhubarb. The price was spot on too – £3.50 for my especially filling and tasty handmade lunch – and I reckon super cheap considering I bought the thing in upscale Chelsea.

The pie was but one of the many crusted creations made by Timmy’s Pies. A fairly new enterprise, Timmy’s is at Chelsea Farmers Market every Saturday (where, to be honest, all the vendors I noticed were offering their goods for a reasonable mark up). If you can’t catch ’em on Saturdays, Timmy’s Pies are also available at Harvey Nichols, Wholefoods and the Peoples’ Supermarket with even more snazzy outlets being lined up as I type!

I’m all about the current street market/street food hype coursing through London these days. It’s refreshing to see someone tapping into that zeitgeist-iness while still adhering to British tradition.
