Registration - food premises
Introduction
The law requires that any premises used for a food business (including market stalls, delivery vehicles and other moveable structures) should be registered. This allows us to keep an un-to-date list of all those premises in this District so we can visit them when we need to. Anyone wishing to start a new food business should register at least 28 days before starting to trade.

If you run a food business you must tell us about any premises you use for storing, selling, distributing or preparing food. Food premises includes restaurants, hotels, cafes, shops, supermarkets, staff canteens, kitchens in offices, warehouses, guest houses, delivery vehicles, buffet cars on trains, markets and other stalls, hot dog and ice cream vans etc.
