A javelin’s throw from the Olympic Park is where you'll find Well Street Market, the outdoor venue in Hackney that was recently revived thanks to the brilliant crowdfunding efforts of local residents. It brings together fashion, live music and London’s first student ‘makers market’, as well as an impressive selection of food and produce. It's open on the first Saturday of every month so if you haven't swung by yet, here's the grub you should try.
A steak sandwich from Meat in Point
Argentinian chef Adrian Sandobal runs Meat in Point to share his love of hometown food. The steak sandwich with melted cheese, roasted peppers, rocket and chimichurri sauce is fantástico and the ultimate burger upgrade.

Square Root Sodas make small batch bottles of natural pop, sourcing fresh fruit and ingredients in Hackney. Try their awesome ‘independent’ cola or traditional root beer.
The cured beef at Cannon & Cannon
British charcuterie might seem like an oxymoron but Cannon & Cannon are making a killing with their British cured beef in exciting flavours. Check out the blood, wine and chocolate sausages from Monmouthshire, the Cornish seaweed and cider sausages, or the fiery nduja from Sussex.
