[Sussex] Is there a shop selling just locally produced things in central Brighton?

[Happy Exile]

Looking to make a gift box for a friend who is exiled from Sussex, and fill it with just Sussex things. Is there a shop that sells locally produced stuff like honey, chocolate, apple juice, and anything else? Doesn't have to just be food - candles, anything really. I know some of the farm shops around Lewes sell bits and pieces, and I've got a couple of things from One Market in Stanmer, but if there's a single place that'd be a lot easier. Thanks!

There will be with all these tariffs going on.

The Open Market in London Road (on a Saturday) has a load of stalls of nice local stuff

There used to be at least one shop dedicated exclusively to local products. Didn't last long though.

Open Market for honey. Montezuma chocolate is made in Chichester and widely available.

Wideye soap and stuff made in Rye and now have a shop on Gardner street.

Not that I can think of. The Open Market is a good suggestion. Also I've seen various nice local products available in Flour Pot bakery before (jams, sauces, relishes, even charcuterie) Some of the delis in North Laine might have good things too

Simple tap-in? Stick of Brighton rock from multiple places on the seafront

Oh, and if you're going to the Open Market, just around the corner in Baker Street is the Mitre Tavern that should be able to provide you with a selection of Harveys finest bottles

You could put it all in a Sussex trug. There used to be a place in Hurstmonceux that made and sold them.

 

[ManOnTheRun]

I wonder if Infinity Foods will have a selection of local produce?

 

[Happy Exile]

Great suggestions, thanks all - looks like I'll be on a local-produce crawl of Brighton at the weekend.

The better half used to work in Steyning and said there is (or at least was) a shop there called Sussex Produce. She hasn't worked there for about 5 years though.

My suggestion is Middle Farm, but that's probably included in your 'farm shops around Lewes'. Pricey, but good.

No trip to Baker Street is complete without a pie from Bangers

Your friend will have to pay duty the other end, be careful what you’re letting them in for nice idea as it is!

He only says the friend is outside of Sussex, not overseas (unless I've missed it)

Absolutely! First instinct was to mention exactly that tho held off, assuming some kind of expiry date gift wrapping would be involved. Same reason I didn't mention fish'n'chips from Bardsley's
