London Summer 2009 Acton Farmer's Market.
Since we have been moved from Germany to the UK in 2008 we were looking for something to learn more about the country and people and concurrently to be busy on the weekends. We drove around to find some kind of markets as we knew from Germany so called 'Flohmarkt' where people sell their used items. Here in the UK these are 'Car boot sale' markets. Every time as we were in such a market and wanted to have some tasty and tangy food we couldn't find anything else as a normal burger van selling burger hot dogs and chips.
We decided to find a market where we could introduce our traditional Indian food to the Londoner community. After searching the web we have found the beautiful Acton Market. I contacted the office and asked for a available stall for us. The market manager advised me that I have to provide a certificate of 'Food safety and Hygiene Level 2 (Catering)' and a certificate of 'Liability Insurance' for Market Trader before we could rent a stall for selling food. Within a week I have done my Food Safety course and have got a one year Insurance certificate. Now we were ready to trade on each Saturday at the Acton Market.
