You will need a Traders Licence from your local Council and permission from them to park at various places. If you jut turn up somewhere you can be asked to move by the Police. Most Councils in the UK are now stopping vans from just parking anywhere.Your van will have to be inspected by the Environmental Health Department and you will need a Health/Hygiene/Safety certificate. You will also have to have Public Liability Insurance, also a seperate Insurance if you are cooking in the van. If you do not have any of the above and start trading you will be prosecuted very quickly.
You can t just park anywhere and sell food you need a license, also the regulations regarding food and Hygiene is very strict , I know i ve just opened a place . Good luck though it s hard work but well worth it !
No, you have to be licensed to do this. Go to your local council to ask for a trader s license and how to go about getting one. All the best :)
also you will need to be very aware of food hygiene regs and register as a food seller. expect rigorous inspections
