St Pancras Sourced Market and Foodie Fortnight

Stations in England are not known as destination for good food  true outisde of London it’s Upper Crust and Mcdonalds , in London they sometimes stretch to a Pret a Manger or Paul. However St Pancras is the exception I know all too well ,  I commute to and from there  most days of the week and I love it’s  bright and airy  feel.

Everyone talks about it having Europe’s longest champagne bar, and I have seen some lovely seafood platters,   but it also has a massive range of food outlets and shops for those with a more limited budget  including Peyton and Byrne, Gourmet Burger Kitchen ,Yo Sushi , Chopd. I could go on..

Then last month the Sourced Market launched , I thought I had died and gone to heaven.  It is like a tiny fresh and dry produce market ,  cheese , meat counters, vegetables  and salad bars including produce from  Neal Yard Dairy Cheese, Brindisa meats, English Perserves, Monmouth Coffee, Pieminister Pies , Stewed pots  to name just a few. Sourced have even put in some They even have meat and cheese platters you can enjoy with a glass of wine from the extensive wine selection .

St Pancras is overdoing its foodie credentials with a Foodie Fortnight which runs from the 16th -25th of September featuring demonstrations from Chefs including  Oliver Peyton, Richard Corrigan , Celia Brooks Brown , Atul Kochar , Arthur Potts Dawson) and masterclasses ( cheese , sushi , game , pie making, fruit and veg, cake making and terrines) and tastings (  wine, champagne and chocolate) , tonight it was Oysters and Champage after demonstrating butchery.

A discount card is available giving 10% off most of the shops in St Pancras ( this includes Foyles bookstore)including the Sourced Market it should definitely make waiting for my train go a bit faster
