Amphora Kitchen - Kadir
How long have you been at the market for?
Amphora Kitchen has completed its second year at Rawtenstall Market. Our first year was in the indoor market. For the past year, we've been operating outside.
What do you love most about Rawtenstall market?
Both Rawtenstall and the market have a unique community and connection. While the market is a traditionally characteristic market, its community-based approach, with its neighbourly and friendly customers, sets it apart from other markets. I've always been passionate about the sustainability of local commerce and the community support and connection. The market's renovation project, which will adapt to today's shopping habits, was an important factor for me for the future.
Amphora Kitchen is a fast food restaurant that uses innovative modern techniques, embraces the principles of waste-free cuisine and sustainable food, and blends the finest Turkish dishes with Mediterranean flavours. We also aim to use herbs and spices grown in our own herbs garden, seasonally adapted to create healthy recipes, while also contributing to a reduced carbon footprint. We were also honoured with the “Recipe 4 Health” award by Lancashire County Council. We received a bronze, silver, and this year, a gold award.

What’s your favourite thing about being on Rawtenstall market?
You cannot predict what the day ahead will bring. Each day has its own story, and it's never boring. But the best part of being a trader is the customers you meet each week, who, over time, many end up becoming friends.
All our meats are sourced from local butchers, and we cook everything fresh. We are best known for our bagel burgers and 7 day in-house cured Salt Beef and Pastrami. We use our own secret recipes, ensuring that no one else can copy / offer the same quality of food as In The Bag.

Jayne's Pets and Handbags - Jayne
How long have you been at the market for?
I have been on rawtenstall market 23 years, I love being apart of the market and the people, from traders to customers.
What’s your favourite thing about being on Rawtenstall market?
I enjoy having chats with both traders and customers. I bought the business as a pet food and household stall, but changed the household stall to a toy stall as there wasn’t anything for children on the market to buy other than sweets. I then took over stationery and put it with toys these work nicely together. Later on in time I then bought the handbag, scarves and accessories stall from a good friend that was retiring, I have had this stall for around 10 years I enjoy providing a good variety of items for our market.

Kabana - Marcus
Manchester’s iconic Rice & Three, in Rawtenstall since August 2023
Since 1982, Kabana has been serving bold, homestyle Asian food from its tucked-away spots in Manchester. Kabana built its reputation on the city’s beloved ‘rice and three’ format, three freshly made curries served over rice, with rotating dishes like lamb karahi, Daal and cauliflower aloo. Its Sunday-only lamb Nehari is legendary, slow cooked for 5 hours for a deep fiery flavour.
Beyond the curries, Kabana’s grilled kebabs, breads and charm have made it a cult favourite. With its sweet stripped back interior and loyal following, Kabana is more than a lunch spot, it’s a Manchester institution.
How long have you been at the market for?
In August 23, we brought a taste of Kabana to Rawtenstall. Our similar set up at Rawtenstall Market offers the local community a glimpse into the Kabana world, authentic flavours, warm hospitality and the same commitment to quality that’s kept us thriving for over 40 years.
Come hungry. Leave happy.
