How to Find Us on Market Days
Look for Our Stall
Our stall is easy to spot — look for the Varenik&Pelmen branding and the unmistakable aroma of freshly cooked dumplings. We always set up in a prominent location within each market, and our colourful display of dumplings and dishes draws crowds throughout the day.
Best Times to Visit
Markets typically open late morning and run through the afternoon. For the best selection, we recommend arriving earlier in the day when all fillings and dishes are freshly prepared and fully stocked. However, we keep cooking throughout the day, so you can expect hot, fresh food whenever you visit.
Parking and Transport
Most London food markets are well served by public transport. We recommend travelling by Tube, bus, or bicycle where possible. Check the specific market’s website for detailed transport and parking information.
