Hills & Parkes Deli Stall at HOP station

I have been following the threads on www.se23.com with interest re a new deli opening in HOP. Ms Hills & Ms Parkes impressed me with their market research (a monkey survey) and their genuine and professional interest of what locals were looking for on the site.

Unable to (yet) find a shop, they have set up a weekend stall by the station. My first visit was on a very damp (and miserable) Sunday afternoon a couple of weeks ago - and I was impressed. I picked up a really nice loaf and a cheeky brownie, as well as the leaflet shown above. The food was great and their level of professionalism again set them out from some of the others (read ED!).

This weekend, when the other half suggested we stop in East Dulwich to pick up some bread, it was great to tell him to drive on and we'd pick something up in HOP. The stall was packed and deservedly so. This time I got some chutney, coffee as well as the loaf. Cheeses, meats, pies as well as Christmassy treats were on offer.

It's great to see a nice, new business in the area. I think this one deserves our business. Hills & Parkes Artisan Foods is open Saturdays 9-5 and Sundays 10-4.

Go, shop!
