The 2009 Street Market
The Hog Roast was again one of the
star attractions.
It is not everyday that one is able
to enjoy food prepared by first class Chefs.
The Hog Roast was provided by The
Austwick Traddock Hotel, cooked by
and carved by staff from the hotel,
and supervised by hotel owner Bruce Reynolds.
The 'hog' was from a local
organic and free range source.
Setting up this year was so much
easier than in some previous years
when dark clouds hovered with menace.
This year it was very obvious that sales of cold drinks
and ice cream would be a record.
The day turned out to be very warm.
The organisers always give a lot of
attention in keeping younger visitors occupied.
Punch and Judy is always very popular
with young and old and never goes out of fashion;
'Punch and Judy' made their first
appearance over three hundred years ago.
Brian Gore, a regular artiste at the
Austwick Street Market
worked very hard at keeping the many
younger visitors amused.
Donkey rides were as ever, extremely
popular.
