Do it yourself!
For those looking to self-cater, grocery stores are generally wheelchair accessible or visit Bridgetown’s largest fruit and vegetable market for a truly Bajan culinary experience.
Rich with heritage, culture and food take a trip to the Bridgetown Fruit and Vegetable Market for the freshest and most affordable local fare.

It’s best to visit the market early (between 6:30 am – 9 am) Thursday, Friday or Saturday mornings. The Bridgetown market is sometimes crowded and while aisles are wide, they can be difficult to maneuver.
