Registering of a food premises
About this service
If you are planning to start a new catering business, you must register your premises with the Environmental Health Services department of the Council 28 days before opening.
This is a legal requirement under the Food Premises (Registration) Regulations 1991 and applies to most types of food businesses, including catering businesses run from home and mobile or temporary premises such as stalls and burger vans.
Any premises (fixed or mobile) which are used for the purpose of a food business for a total of five or more days in a five-week period, should be registered. This requirement includes domestic premises except those where only bed and breakfast is provided in not more than three bedrooms. Other exemptions include places run by voluntary or charitable organisations and used only by them, if no food (except tea, coffee, biscuits or similar) are stored there.
A mobile food business should be registered at the address at which the unit is normally garaged.
There is no charge for registration and registration cannot be refused. It is not subject to periodic renewal.
Remember you may need planning permission to alter your premises.
