Sussex Food

Local food & independent shops

Sussex Food.

The producers, butchers, fish shops and independent food businesses I genuinely enjoy visiting across Sussex and nearby.

Places worth seeking out.

This is my growing guide to the people and places behind some of the ingredients on Foodwizardry. It is personal rather than exhaustive: every feature begins with somewhere I have visited, shopped or cooked with.

Fish smoking at Springs Fish Shop and Café

Springs Fish Shop & Café

Traditional Sussex-oak smoked fish, a memorable shop and a discovery that began with a Peter James novel.

Wickenden Meats butcher shop

Wickenden Meats

A family butcher with good-value meat, memorable banter and ordering options for customers farther afield.

Rushlake Green Village Stores

Rushlake Green Village Stores

A village shop, Post Office and meeting place with local produce, an impressive cheese selection and a second home on Heathfield High Street.

More Sussex favourites will be added as I revisit them and confirm the practical details. If you run or know an independent local food business that feels very Foodwizardry, you can get in touch through the Contact page.
