Hello Michael,

I’m not quite sure I understand your question, as for facilities this should be supplied by the market.

If you are referring to your catering trailer, then you should be registered with the local council, have an up to date food and hygiene certificate (level 2), and have some public liability insurance.

It’s also wise to have both a LPG/electric test certificate for you catering equipment and gas bottles to make sure all equipment is safe, tested and working correctly.

Your first stop should be to contact your local council who will register your catering trailer and then get your food and hygiene certificate.

Best of luck
David
