BBC 2?s famous Hairy Bikers, Dave Myers and Si King are two hirsute, chubby, middle-aged, bike-riding foodies ? not professional chefs? but food lovers with a mutual passionate love of food, travel and adventure. They pack up their panniers, rev up their bikes, leave their wives and girlfriends and head off in search of authentic culinary and cultural experiences in all corners of the world. On Friday 16 November their search will take them to Bury?s World Famous Market a haven for foodies everywhere.

The Market offers a fabulous value for money range of fruits and vegetables, fresh meats and fish, an abundance of cheeses and the famous black puddings. Fresh food with less packaging is always available and often at a fraction of the cost of local supermarkets.

The lads will be preparing and cooking a Lancashire Hot Pot with produce purchased from the Market. Cooking will begin at approximately 12.30pm on The Square, Between Katsouris Delicatessen and Othello?s Caf?, in front of Bury Market Hall.

With their friendly charm and infectious enthusiasm, we feel certain the lads will be welcomed with open arms by the locals.

A spokesperson for Bury Metro?s Markets said: ?Bury Market has Top National recognition for fine quality foods so its traders and managers are delighted to welcome ?The Hairy Bikers?.

Bury?s World Famous Market is Open on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and its Market Halls are open on Weekdays and Saturdays.
