Handtomouth kitchen’s cucumber G & T’s, and elderberry prosecco cocktails were a hit!
Lessons learnt:
Starting earlier is good.
Maybe take a deposit from stallholders to avoid the “a dog ate my chutney” excuse-mongers.
Buy a loud hailer.
More music.
Thinking of doing a pre-Christmas market so people can give foodie gifts. What say you?

I loved it all; I quaffed the wine at the wine tasting (which apparently is not the go, but no one cared), tasted everything I could get my hands on, loved the band (I agree more music next time), loved talking to the supper clubs I've been reading about (in the flesh!). Spotted the interlopers although there were only about 4 when I looked, good job you had security covered! Enough cake to satisfy my cake passion, the raspberry tart was devine and I washed it down with a cucumber G&T. A fine fine day.
I left absolutely mesmerised (or was it my belly??, smiling like an idiot all the back home!
well done Ms – my faith in the food revolution has been re livened!:)
So much work! And I'm missing out on all these amazing artists?! When is the next one scheduled?
Lovely pictures and great idea to do a pre Christmas event – perfect for stocking up those stockings. And, with plenty more bonfires, mulled wine and hot toddies, who cares about the weather.
thanks for your comments: reading about people's enjoyment of the day really makes it all worth while!
Eatmynels: your (Robins) pizza would have been fantastic.
Thinking of how to do the christmas one…will need some help!
Wow! Amazing! So well done! It looks fantastic. You packed so much in, it really looks so cool and such a great selection of stalls. All of the cake stands on your bed look so funny! You & the teen are great to open your house and share with everyone! x

A Christmas one sounds wonderful!

How exciting! This looks so much fun! x
It looks fantastic! I hope I can make the next one! Well done!!! xxx
Want to come to your next event sooo bad!!!
Please, please do another one before Christmas. I missed this one as had booked to go to, Hel Yes!, a pop-up restaurant in Islington, but wish I could have been in two places at once.
Looks like it was a great success.
Thank you everybody. A week later and I'm still recovering!
Need help to set up a christmas one!
Any stallholders/publicists/handy people want to help out with a North West London Christmas market?
I'm so annoyed I was away when this marvellous event was happening. Maybe next year!
