Model Market – London - Claire Imaginarium

Guess who’s back, back again
Guess who’s back, guess who’s back?
Guess who’s back, guess who’s back?

I am telling what is back: Model Market! One of the best places in Lewisham!

Model Market is one of the few Street Feast food markets in London. Open every Friday and Saturday from 5pm to 1am this is the ultimate south east London destination for a tasty rum punch and some delicious food.

Once an indoor and outdoor market, the venue had become an abandoned dilapidated space before it was taken over by Street Feast which created a fun venue answering the increasing demand for good food venues in the south-east borough.

Model Market is like a small version of Mercato Metropolitano with food stalls and sheltered sitting areas so you can enjoy a night out in Lewisham even on a rainy day.

Once in, head to the main bar to grab a refreshing beer or one of their many cocktails. If you are more of a gin and tonic or rum person there are two other bars purely dedicated to the clear and amber alcohols.

Since our trip to Barbados, Andrew and I cannot resist a good rum punch which is of course what we opted for last time we went (dragging with us my sister and her fiance who both were seduced after just one sip).

I have also done a little selection of food stalls I highly recommend!

Start the feast by sharing some steamed bao buns from Yum Bun. We had the fried chicken ones which were very tasty and I am planning to try the tofu ones next time (I will update this post to share my thoughts).

We then shared the most delicious fried chicken strips from Mother Clucker. So delicious that we finished them before I took a picture so you will have to take my word for it.

Still feeling a bit peckish both Andrew and I opted for burgers from Pocho. They were tasty and satisfying, and the best part is that they are all the same price no matter which feelings you picked!

My sister and her fiance were craving some Indian flavours (when in London…) and opted for naan wraps from Frankie Goes to Bollywood. They both reported that it was delicious and they are both French so I trust their opinion!
