Le Grappin

Herne Hill market. Also a guest producer at Alexandra Palace market.



Andrew and Emma Nielsen are small, artisan winemakers from Burgundy, France. Splitting their time between their home in London and their ancient winery beneath the walls of Beaune, they make all of their wines by hand, aiming for wines that are expressive and delicious, from under appreciated vineyards in Burgundy and Beaujolais. In the past year, they have been named one of the “Top 25 Négociant Winemakers in Burgundy” by Master of Wine, Tim Atkin and a “Top 10 Unsung Winemaker” by Burgundy expert, Bill Nanson.

Their Du Grappin range of wines are made with Summer days in mind and are available by refillable bottle, #Bagnum and Bag-in-Box; packaging that reduces carbon foot-print by up to 80% compared to traditional glass and is wallet-friendly too. Pay a small deposit for a refillable bottle or bring your own sealable bottle of any size from home and leave with hand made Rosé, Rouge or Blanc. Headed to the park? Don’t forget to ask for an ice cold #Bagnum.

Opera Ice Cream

Alexandra Palace, Oval and Herne Hill markets.




For afters, or starters, or even both, try Opera Ice Cream.

Kerry is an opera singer, Spasko an ice-dreamer, and together they produce a homemade, locally sourced cold wonder. Identified last year by the Palmer's Green Community webmaster as 'the world’s best ice cream', and add in for 2015 frozen yoghurt and fruit (what?!) and it’ll be a warm welcome back from the market crowd!

Herne Hill market





Wendy Yates launched Fruition Preserves in summer 2014. As a passionate home cook and preserver, she set about developing a delicious range of artisan preserves but with a difference...fruit compotes and handmade ketchups.

Fruition now offer a range of four flavour-packed ketchups (with lower sugar & salt and no artificial preservatives), eight French-style fruit compotes (gently stewed, sweetened & delicately flavoured), a sumptuous granola (rich mix of oats, nuts and seeds coated in apple compote & honey, gently toasted and finished with juicy raisins) and a range of special Christmas products.

Primary ingredients are seasonal and wherever possible sourced from farms in Kent and Sussex and all products are cooked in small batches at home in Clapham, London SW4. Fruition is passionate about local, flavourful, natural food. You can find us every other week at Herne Hill Market.
