Jasons Egg & Bacon Shop

First of all, Jason’s is one of the friendliest places in town. It’s a permanent market stall at the London Road end of the Open Market, providing eggs, bacon, ham and an array of cheeses, nuts and dried fruits.
Shopping at Jason’s is a great way to save money on your basics. You’ll get much higher quality than you might find at the supermarket, and at far better value. What you won’t get is a pint of water coming out of your bacon in the pan, as I’ve come to expect from supermarket bacon.
You can get hold of cheap, high quality ham off-​cuts as well, ideal for sandwiches, and, again, of a far higher quality than your average pre-​packed ham.
It’s not just a place for your weekly regular purchases, though; a handful of more novel bits and pieces also make an appearance. Great value for money dried fruits: apricots, dates and raisins, and nuts: pistachios, cashews and peanuts, packaged simply and without the usual, inflated, wholefood price-​tag that you might find elsewhere in Brighton. Jason’s «Extra Large» eggs are a novelty in themselves and a sight to behold. I’ve never seen eggs so big in all my life, at least not from a chicken.
Numerous specialist cheeses can be had, as well. Mexican special with chilli, English cheeses with berries, and amazingly cheap parmesan. Their cheddar with chocolate and cherries makes such a surprisingly delicious snack that when i recently forced some on a sceptical friend, she immediately demanded directions to Jason’s and left town with four packets!
What’s really nice about it, is that, like much of the Open Market, you can breeze in with a fiver, and walk out with a bagfull of good food.
All in all, Jason’s is one of the best, most dependable, and certainly one of my favourite little shops in town. Be sure to have a look.

Anyone fancy a bacon and egg sarnie for breakfast?
If so, you want to swing by Jasons and pick up your ingredients.
A tiny stall in Brighton Open Market, Jasons specialises in local bacon, eggs, milk and cheese sold at cheap as chips prices. You can’t get duck, quail or extra large, grass-​fed, free range eggs like in Waitrose or Sainsburys but if you’re after half a dozen or a whole tray of medium or large free range eggs — this is the place. I got six for a £1 a few days ago and they were great scrambled. I also picked up some divine goats cheese and smoked cheddar — imaginatively titled Bonfire cheese — for about £3 altogether.
