🎃 In Mexico, we make good use of every part of the pumpkin!

🌼 Pumpkin flowers are used in delicious quesadillas or stuffed with cheese and coated in egg.

🌱 Pumpkin seeds can be rinsed, dried and roasted in the oven at 150°C for 45 minutes with a little salt. A delicious, fibre-rich snack!

🧁 Pumpkin flesh, once the seeds are removed, can be puréed and used to make cupcakes.

We’ve noticed these ingredients aren’t commonly used in England, so we had a lovely chat with the owners of Pye Ash Farm to share a little of how we use them in Mexico. They loved the ideas, so who knows? There might be some new surprises next year!

☀️ BUENOS DÍAS, LEEK! 🇲🇽❤️

We’re OPEN TODAY AND TOMORROW 11am–3pm, serving up your favourites: tacos al pastor, beef burritos, chicken burritos, quesadillas and our delicious gringas! 🌮

And we have a little announcement…

After tomorrow, we will be taking a little autumn break. We need to pay Santa a visit, hand over our list of everyone who’s been good this year, and make sure he gets busy preparing LOTS and LOTS of salsa for Christmas! 🌶️🎄

We’ll also be taking our annual holiday, but don’t worry, we’ll be back for the last weekend of October, ready to celebrate Halloween and Día de Mu***os with you! 💀🎃

So come and see us this weekend, and grab your Mexican favourites before our break and later reopening on Friday 30th October.

Thank you so much for all your love and support. We really do appreciate every single one of you. ❤️

¡Nos vemos pronto, Leek! 🇲🇽

This afternoon we had the pleasure of joining Moorlands Radio for a lovely chat about what we do at Trestle Market.

We had such a fantastic time, and we think we’ve made some new friends along the way! ❤️

Keep an ear out on 103.7 FM… there might be a little surprise coming your way

Thank you so much to Moorlands Radio for having us, and to everyone who tuned in and listened. We really appreciate it! ❤️

If you’re fancying giving your food a little Mexican touch and taking your dishes to the next level, remember you can also find our jars of salsa at our friends H. Meakin and Sons: Family Butchers, at their Derby St. branch.

They’re open Monday to Saturday, from 8am to 2pm, so even on the days when we’re not open at the market, you can still pick up one of our different salsas and enjoy a little taste of Mexico at home.

All our salsas are vegan and you can check the natural ingredients on the back of each jar.

We’re very grateful for all your support, and we’re so happy to have lovely local businesses supporting us too.

Thank you all, and blessings ❤️

My mum has just landed in England straight from Mexico… and she’s already not impressed with the Mexican food section at the supermarket 😂

So, if you’re after proper Mexican flavours, you know where to find us.

We’ll be at Trestle Market this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, from 11am to 3pm.

It’s also the last weekend of our delicious smoked chicken before we change things up next week. We’ve got some new surprises coming, so make sure you come and try it while you still can.

See you at the market!
