There are strict regulations governing those businesses involved in food handling and they may need to apply for Approved Food Premises status.

If your business handles, stores, processes or sells food, you must register it with the council. This includes catering businesses run from home and mobile or temporary premises, such as stalls and vans.

We carry out regular checks of all food premises to make sure you are protected and high standards are maintained
