Food Premises Registration
| Licence summary |
To store, prepare, distribute or sell food on premises you need
to be registered with the local authority. Premises 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 Meat Hygiene Service,
rather than registered. If you are uncertain whether your business
needs to be approved or registered, contact your local
authority.

| Consumer Complaint |
We would always advise that in the event of a complaint the
first contact is made with the trader by you - preferably in the
form a letter (with proof of delivery). If that has not worked, if
you are located in the UK, Consumer Direct will give
you advice. From outside the UK contact the UK European Consumer Centre.
|
| Other Redress |
E.g. about noise, pollution, etc. Also should one licence holder
complain about another.
