Registration of a Food Business Establishment
To store, prepare, distribute or sell food on premises you are legally required to be registered with the Council. Premises include restaurants, cafes, hotels, shops, canteens, market stalls, mobile catering vans and food delivery vans.
This notifies the Council about your business and allows us to schedule relevant inspections. Please note that registration is free of charge.
Some manufacturers handling products of animal origin may need to be approved by the local authority or the Meat Hygiene Service, rather than registered. If you are uncertain whether your business needs to be approved or registered, email Customer Services.
Please note that there is no charge for registration.
