A street market promising a variety of stalls were also available in Pump Street, with local business Aflie's Kitchen - which was highly commended in the Hereford Times Best Takeaways 2023 competition - serving up favourites alongside other businesses offering everything from Chinese dumplings to Greek goodies.
