The Best of Island Produce
The Island has a wealth of unbeatable local produce. Treat yourself this Christmas with a Free Range IOW Turkey, Locally Grown Vegetables and a Glass or three of Local beer…
Christmas Markets are some of the best places to get hold of fresh and tasty produce for your Christmas table. With rare breed meats, excellent quality local fruit and vegetables, chutneys, house cured Gravadlax, Danish Aquavit & all kinds of other delicious extras there is plenty to get excited about at The Little Gloster Christmas Market.
Renowned for their unpretentious food and good quality service, The Little Gloster agrees that sometimes food tastes better outdoors and never more so than on a crisp, chilly winter’s day. Visitors to the market will love the holiday atmosphere, added by the aromas of festive, warming food served at the event to give weary shoppers a boost. You’ll be able to choose from a delicious selection of festive specialties – mulled wine and Mince pies, roasted chestnuts, hog roast or even sample our Limited Edition sausages in collaboration with Hamilton’s Butchers – there is something to suit all tastes.
