The next fantastic family business shortlisted for our 2026 ‘Legacy’ award shortlist is @herbert_greengrocers.

A fourth-generation family business rooted in honesty, graft, and community, Herbert & Sons is a true East End legacy.

In 1974, Herbert & Sons was formally established, and today the business is run by Marc Herbert at Globe Town Market.

What makes them unique is their commitment and longevity. Globe Town Market once had around 20 thriving stalls, now only Herbert & Sons and a single plant stall remain.

They stand as one of the last guardians of East London street trading heritage, selling fresh fruit and vegetables every week come rain or shine.

Herbert & Sons is more than a stall; it is a lifeline for many and a business that carries history, heart and legacy.

I’m delighted to share that Herbert’s & Sons Greengrocers has been nominated for the Best Small Business Awards, taking place in Spitalfields on 21st May.

We’ve been put forward for the Best Family Business Legacy Award, recognising our contribution to the local community and our commitment to supplying fresh, healthy produce to local residents 🙌🏻

A huge thank you to @britainsmallbiz and @romanroadsquaremarket but most importantly, to all of our loyal customers who have supported us through every decade since 1975. Shopping habits may have changed over the years, but we remain proud and dedicated to providing fresh, seasonal produce with as little plastic waste as possible.

More than anything, we’re here as a lifeline for our community, where face-to-face connection still matters, where there’s always time for a chat, and where fresh, healthy food comes first. No processed products ever!

Men’s mental health club, here is steve and Kevin who enjoy nothing more than a cup of tea on a Saturday morning and a regular chat. Both born and raised in Bethnal Green, East End boys.

I received such sad news from stevens sister of the sudden passing of Steve (right hand side) on Monday.

Steve retired in 2018 from the national gallery and since 2019 he has been a regular visitor at my stall helping me set up, tidy up, and keeping the kettle on.

He loved being out on the stall what ever the weather and his words always were ( I won’t let you down )

Steve helped me throughout the whole of the pandemic period, ( I remember him saying I have walked from Moore house and you are the first person I have seen on the streets )

He enjoyed the social interaction of the Saturday market chatting to customers as he lived alone and sometimes felt a bit isolated having a routine on a Saturday seemed to really help him with his bipolar condition and mental health he used to say I have never eaten so much fruit.

Life can be taken away very quickly in this busy world we live in.

Health, love and happiness is all you need ❤️

You had a good heart mate and I will miss seeing you on a Saturday and our chats.

He loved his art, doctor who,visiting museums,galleries and photography but most of all he would start a conversation with anybody.

He was a character of the local area, and would be down brick lane every Sunday trying to find a bargain he was a true Cockney boy, old school.

You was a good man and you will be missed 💙

Put the kettle on mate, love ya x

Hi good morning,

I would just like to let people know that yesterday was a successful cause with donations of fresh fruit & vegetables for families and individuals in need.

I would like to thank a few of my amazing customers who donated to this great cause it means a lot, and you made some people very happy. ❤️

After getting some feed back yesterday from members of the local community it seems like there is a large lack in knowledge and experience of cooking healthy nutritious meals from scratch and what different recipes can be achieved using certain produce.

I’m currently in talks with a local councillor regarding a planned and run class which hopefully will be once a week funded by tower hamlets council.

This will be promoting healthy eating, cooking healthy meals from scratch on a small budget and promoting sustainable living.

Hopefully we can get some families involved and get cooking together.

We hope this will be achieved. Thank you 💚 by @herbert_greengrocers

Dear local residents of globe town market.

Having a young family myself and knowing how hard it is at the moment, with January being such a long and difficult month for many people.

Please If you are in need of any fresh food then please come up and see me on Saturday or DM me.

This will be strictly confidential and I will have a donation of produce for you.

it may not be much but hopefully it will help many out in need, please do not hesitate if needed.

This will contain the basic essentials for many until pay day next weekend.

Cooking healthy does not need to be expensive and a bag of fresh vegetables will feed a family for longer and is far more nutritious than fast food.

So please if you do need anything let me know.
