Prepare Sandwiches for Catering Events - Caravan Conversion

by Carlo Kaic
(High Wycombe)

I purchased a small caravan with an intension to convert it to catering trailer. However after purchase I now somewhat changed the plan and now

I intend to convert it and use it, as a static trailer situated in my own drive at the front of the house, mostly for storing food ingredients (partly in the fridge, partly in the large industrial freezer) with an option to prepare sandwiches for catering events.

The question is would the usual conversion rules apply:

-to have both hot and cold water supply with a tank of certain size (it could be connected to mains instead)?

-ventilation (do I need ventilation at all, since I won’t be frying and splashing fat)?

-fire extinguisher and fire blanket (what for, I am not heating anything)?

And also:

-would I need to pay business rates (probably)?

-would I need a planning permission (perhaps,

because I am changing the use of the land where the trailer is stationed, although on temporary basis)?
