FOOD & DRINK
Market Hall
Fulham Opening
Food & Drink
Market Hall Fulham has officially opened its
doors, providing the neighbourhood with a
much-needed community hub dedicated to
home-grown food and drink.
Claude’s Deli, Yard Sale Pizza, Press Coffee,
Thima by Farang, Hot Box, Ahi Poké, Butchies,
Calcutta Canteen, Fanny’s Kebabs and
Soft Serve Society will be housed in Market
Halls’ first site, the Grade II listed former
Edwardian ticket hall of Fulham Broadway
station. Designed by Harry Wharton Ford
in the 1880s, the historic building has been
vacant for six years and has now been
sympathetically restored. Market Halls’
architects, FaulknerBrowns, have retained
original features such as the enamel ‘TO THE
TRAINS’ sign and ticket offices used in the
original London Underground station.
There will be a large communal dining area for
over 200 people running down the centre of
the room and a bar championing independent
British-made beers, spirits and soft-drinks,
housed in the original London Underground
ticket office booths.
The team have been working closely with
North Cornwall brewers Harbour to create
their own house lager ‘Market Helles’ as well
as having rotational beers from some of the
best brewers in the UK, such as Cloudwater,
Wild Beer Co and Siren Craft Brew. Sussex
brewers Good Things, who are on their way to
becoming the first off-the-grid brewery will be
available on tap. Completing the draught line
up is Bermondsey-based Hawkes with their
Urban Orchard Cider. Working with Kicking
Horse Craft Beer Merchants, there will be six
British craft beers on draught available, as well
as 20 bottles and cans on offer. There will also
be a short cocktail list made using British craft
spirits including Our London and East London
Liquor Company, as well as a range of wines
and a strong selection of non-alcoholic drinks,
including a Market Halls Pink Grapefruit Soda
which has been created in collaboration with
Square Root.
