Independent design shop stocking UK-made ceramics and textiles

Fodder used to be Kentish Town Stores before it moved up the hill to Heath Street in July 2025. The formula didn't change: a small lifestyle shop stocked with handmade ceramics, textiles, prints and homewares, nearly all of it from independent UK makers.

Hampstead was oddly short of a shop like this among the estate agents and chain cafés. The owner buys in small batches, so the shelves shift constantly, hand-thrown mugs one month, small-press prints and woven throws the next. Locals come for last-minute presents and leave with something for themselves.

Good to know

Closed on Tuesdays; Sundays it runs shorter hours (11:00-16:00).
Stock is small-batch from independent makers, so if a ceramicist's work catches your eye, don't wait for a restock.

Beautiful shop. Bought a set of wine glasses here that were so nice, I went back and got a second set. Worth a visit in Hampstead

My favourite coffee place in Kentish Town. Great place when you want to do some uni work but need change an environment. Toast with avocado spread and eggs was a but pricier but at least they have food options if you’re hungry. Very cozy place. Definitely recommend.

An absolutely brilliant local shop- their coffee and hot drinks are really great, as are they cakes and such. The staff are friendly and helpful and the produce is all reasonably priced too. I absolutely love the locals crafts and such that they sell inside of the store, too. They are all so high quality and tasteful!. The only reason I’ve given four stars for atmosphere is because the music was a tad loud and not very peaceful, and because the place is swamped with laptop people. I heard one reviewer berate this place for making him feel like a “second class citizen” being a laptop user, but I think it’s important to accept that in places like this, you really are! They clog up tables for hours on end and buy barely anything. Just go to a library or something!!

Lovely cafe. Avocado toast was tasty, coffee was competent and it was quite peaceful. Probably won’t be visiting again though which is a pity. I don’t like feeling like a second class citizen if I have my laptop. Have to sit on the communal table if you have a laptop while the round tables are empty. The solution is: add some more smaller tables, replace some of the round tables. Then people can sit where they like and feel happy and not be annoyed with these rules that you place about where they can sit. Otherwise great.

Picked up some delicious homemade granola cookies last month and I also purchased a new ceramic bowl. Cookies were incredible, up there with some of my favourites in London so far. The store stocks some wonderful homeware and other goods, perfect for when you just want something new to upgrade your home. I will be back for breakfast and lunch as soon as I can because the toasted banana bread looked insane!
