I get my weekly fruit and veg from Michaela. She’s brilliant! Always a smile and some banter and she’s always encouraging me to try out new fruit and veg. Definitely the best market stall in Bethnal Green!

it must run in the familly as Narve`s greatgrandfathers familly ran all the f and v stalls in Battersea markets and uncle Jim who was totally deaf walked a fruit and veg stall around Chelsea and Knightsbridge.Nobody realises the hours thst are worked by them.I know i am mum to Narve and mum in law to micheala but i am so proud of them.Only the best for customers is their motto and boy do that keep to that.

I’ve had the pleasure of shopping at their stall for the past 6 years. Their honesty with the produce they sell I haven’t found anywhere else. It’s a shame they are a dying breed.e

The Bishop Bonner crops up again! Her nan must have run it just after my grandad – he left it in 1925. I admire Michaela and Narve’s tenacity – they obviously love what they are doing.

I’ve bought fruit and veg off this lady many times, but I had no idea of her heritage and background. The thing that struck me about her is her wonderful manner with the customers – she always beams and calls me “angel”.

I’m full of admiration and envy for this lovely lady. These insights into the every day folk are brilliant.

I read in the news these days that eating well is something only the wealthy can afford to do. But retailers like Michaela and Narve prove that is not remotely true, bless them!

What a lovely lady, and a great family story.
I wish I lived close so I could meet her.

I always admire market traders – what a tough life, especially in winter. But what would we do without them: they often sell quality goods. Great story.
