To store, prepare, distribute or sell food on business premises you need to be registered with the local authority. 

Premise examples include restaurants, cafes, hotels, shops, canteens, market stalls, mobile catering vans and food delivery vans. 

Some manufacturers handling products of animal origin may need to be approved by the local authority or the Food Standards Agency (meat hygiene), rather than registered. 

If you are uncertain whether your business needs to be approved or registered, please call us on 01246 345345.
