“Shop outdoors this weekend instead of suffocating in a garish mall” punted the Jozi Food Market website. What a great way to spend a morning I thought and I duly set out for Parkhurst on a warm day tinged with the smell of Spring in the air. The market sets up shop under a collection of colourful umbrellas every Saturday on the lawns of the Pirates Sports Club between 8.30am and 1.30pm.The market is not large by any means and therein lies part of its charm. It’s small and personal, the majority of the products are organic and only a limited amount of freshly made products are sold every week. Continue reading →

The Jozi Food market will be open this Saturday 30th April. Most stalls will be trading, with the exception of Take the Lead, the dog food specialists. We look forward to seeing you there!

The Jozi Food Market is the place to be – you can shop for take home meals, or eat at the numerous tables, which are all under trees and on grass. Kids can play on the fields or on the jumping castle. You can chill with a cold beer or glass of wine from the Pirates pub OR YOU CAN WATCH THE RUGBY ON THE PUB”S BIG SCREENS INSIDE!!

We are happy to report that the first market of the year at Pirates Sports Club was a great success. We had double the number of people visiting us compared to the old venue, as well as a much larger variety of great food stalls. Patrons loved the fact that it was outdoors, on grass and under trees. Kids could run around freely, and really enjoyed the jumping castle! Adults could sit down, enjoy a glass of wine and eat a leisurely lunch from the various vendor food stalls. By Johannesburg standards this market is refreshingly unique, as most markets trade in and around shopping malls. It’s on every Saturday from 8h30. This Saturday 29th, there will be close to 40 stalls to feast on – let’s hope we see you there.

Jozi Food Market is an outdoor artisans’ market in the heart of the Johanneburg Northern Suburbs – based at the Pirates Sports Club, Braeside Rd, Greenside, Johannesburg.
The focus is on offering the best fresh food to customers – and the aim is to get people to support LOCAL small businesses as an alternative to the canned, preservative filled produce on supermarket shelves. Its a healthy and fun way to shop as well – its outdoors, customers can relax with a coffee/drink under trees, and there’s plenty of space for kids and dogs to play. For sports mad South Africans there are even TV screens in the pub, so customers can watch sport whilst shopping too!
