Food Overload at Whitecross Market - Barbican

God I love food markets! Not only can you gorge yourself silly but the choices and the cookies are everywhere! Seriously put your tesco lunch away and get your big behind there by 1pm.

If you've never been to this food market then heads up, its located next to Waitrose and its bananas crowded by 1.15pm. Don't worry its quick enough to get your grub ... as long as you know what you're after as theres a crazy amount of choices with a lot of Halal choices too.


Cakes! Cookies! Tarts! This stall had them all, just try not to fill up too much if you plan on stuffing your face with this lot also.



Now I've been here a few times and not all the foods pretty but don't worry your wee cotton socks! The foods tasty and if you don't know what to like then just move to the stand with the larger queue you dodo ;)
I went for the Moroccan Meatball and a Portuguese Egg Tart from two stands on this raid which I will show you below!



Verdict
The food choices here are grand line, you got too much to choose from that having a bad meal here is like stacking it on a dry floor.

But to give you an idea of what its like here I had the Thai food here (The one not in a kiosk stand) and its amazing, you can get a mix of two fillings which is nice and the grubs not bad to boot. The Wild Game stand here does really good burgers, juicy and filling; the smaller stand does wraps (above) and they're awesome! not as filling but flavoursome and worth it.
Dessert wise, they're all good depending on what you like, just stick to safe ones or get there early as you gotta remember these buggers are out in the airy open for most of the lunch session.

9/10

Would I go again?
Darn tootin I would, in fact the best days to go are Thursday / Friday (11am - 3pm-ish for the main raid) but they're open Monday - Friday
