The Best Food At Camden Market To Try

6th April 2023 Ellen Conning London Life

Who doesn’t love to eat? Whether it’s as a quick snack to keep you going or a full-on meal to finish off the day, there’s no lack of great choices for a bite to eat out of Camden Market. In fact, there are so many options that it can be overwhelming! These days, there’s so much to taste and try out in Camden Market, from sweet treats to savoury delights, and a few stalls that balance both perfectly.

Finding where to start can be a bit of a challenge, and while we’ll always advise you to follow your nose, we’ve gone ahead and done the heavy lifting (a real burden, we know) to bring you some of our top choices for snacks, meals and desserts. Any of these spots make a great stop after spending time doing some quirky things in London, especially with so much happening in Camden itself. So come with us as we go over our favourites and see if any whet your appetite.

Want to experience the whole cheese board, from grilled cheese toasties to classic fondues, charcuterie boards and even wine pairings? Look no further than The Cheese Bar, a Camden Market location celebrating the king of dairy! They’re dedicated to their craft – all their cheese comes from some of the best independent producers in the country, and their menu changes a lot to reflect what’s good right now.

Dine in and Takeaway

For those that love a big burger, a pulled pork bagel, or a Reuben, this is the stop for you in the Camden Market. Nothing here is done traditionally, as everything is big, bold and beyond messy, and absolutely delicious. Perfect for a big brunch, a power lunch or a smashing dinner.

Takeaway

Sometimes, all we want is a hot box of noodles, but we also have a hankering for fried chicken. Wok Boy blends both together into one delicious meal, perfect for those who love spice. From noodles to chips, they’ve got a great selection on the menu, and everything is also Halal!

Oli Baba’s

Takeaway

If you’re a fan of halloumi fries, then these are the people to thank. Hailed as the birthplace of the squeaky, cheesy treat, it’s their mainstay item on the menu alongside fattoush (flatbread salads), toasted pita sandwiches, and much more. For an extra special kick, double up on the Schug, and prepare your tastebuds for a journey unlike any other.

Chin Chin Icecream

Dine in and Takeaway

With the closure of the classic Marine Ices, there’s been a need for a solid spot nearby in the markets. Thankfully, Chin Chin has come in with a funky new spot that encourages people to play with their food! They use liquid nitrogen to make their ice cream instantly, giving you free rein to try different flavours and toppings in an instant, and their entire M.O. is to let you have fun with flavour. They’re perfect for a quick scoop any time of day!

Only Jerkin’

Takeaway

Another option for the chicken lover, and this time with a Caribbean kick – Only Jerkin’ offers delicious chicken and chips with flavours straight from the islands. Whether you’re keen on the ginger beer batter, the cream soda batter, or a mix, finish off your meal with jerk fries, gravy, and know you’re eating like a king.

La Churreria

Takeaway

Finally, for those who love all things sweet and Spanish treats, there’s this food stall that specialises in the good stuff. Known for its churros served with hot chocolate or filled with dulce de leche and Nutella, as well as delicious soft-serve ice cream, it makes a great spot for a treat or for dessert.
