On a rainy Sunday, Jordan and I, went for a drive in search for one.
The Pantiles, in Tumbridge Wells, didn't disappoint.
rst and third weekend of each month
rst and third weekend of each month
Many stalls lined the street filled with delicious food, drinks and trinkets.
My favourite stall for obvious reasons.
Lined with stacks of delicious homemade bread...
And cakes of course.
We then stumbled upon this lovely handmade jewellery stand, Tanglewood, selling the sweetest earrings ever.
My personal favourite, the strawberry earrings!
Walking around the market, we built up a bit of an appetite and looked around for somewhere to eat.
There's a big selection of places to eat in The Pantiles, from cafes, pubs and restaurants.
We set our sites on Gastronomia.
Influenced by the words "Italian Feast" on a black board outside, we made our way inside, greeted by the happiest man in Tumbridge Wells (not proven, but it's definitely a possibility).
Inside was the sweetest little Italian restaurant.
Decorated with obscure art, walls lined with traditional Italian food and chairs and tables, all different colours and sizes.
Our feast started with a few starters:
Olives, antipasti and garlic ciabatta bread.
Followed by our main course.
Cod on a bed of mashed potato and "Italian bread crumbs".
We then happily ate up our puddings...
Too quickly, as I forgot to take a photo!
And said our goodbyes.
We'll be back.
The Pantiles Market opens on the first and third weekend of every month.
