If you are thinking about selling food from a van or cart on the street, it is important that you understand the rules and regulations in place. Selling food from your own home will be much easier.

You need to apply for a Temporary Food Event permit with your local council.

The application process for a Temporary Food Event permit is different depending on the type of event you are holding. If you are applying for a special event permit, you will need to contact your local council directly. They may also require additional information and forms that must be completed with their approval before they can issue a permit. The information provided by your local council should explain the application process and requirements in more detail.

For events held in public places, squares or parks; this information may also be available online on their website or by contacting them directly.

You need to make sure you have the right insurance.

You should make sure you have the right insurance. Insurance is necessary, but it can be expensive, hard to get, and may not even be available in your area.

Insurance is necessary because it protects you from liability and some types of damage to your product. If someone gets sick from eating one of your dishes and decides to sue you instead of pressing charges with the police department or health board, then they’re going after any money they can get out of you in court—and if they win, that could include everything that’s been made since the first day your business opened its doors! This means that if someone gets sick from something on their dinner plate tomorrow night (who knows when!), then all profits that have been made over the past five days are gone until those debts are paid off by whatever means possible.

Insurance companies don’t like insuring street food vendors for several reasons: firstly because it’s difficult for them to assess how much risk there really is involved; secondly because most covers are designed around restaurant kitchens which often have higher standards than a portable kitchen set-up; thirdly because there are so many different types of food preparation happening at once (for example: throwing raw meat onto an open flame).

If you want to sell food on the street, there are a number of things that you will need to consider.

• You will need a licence. This is granted by your local authority, so check with them first to see if they have any requirements for licences or permits. If you’re selling hot food, then this should be obtained as soon as possible so as not to delay your business opening date!
• You must have the correct insurance in place. As well as ensuring that all staff and customers are covered by public liability insurance (and their vehicles), it’s also essential that any equipment used for preparing or serving food has adequate cover too – especially if it can be considered dangerous!
• Make sure you are prepared for any infractions! It’s important that all staff members working at the site understand what is expected from them both legally and ethically when working on-site (especially when dealing with potentially vulnerable people). Anyone caught breaking these rules may find themselves prosecuted rather than given advice about how best to practise their trade without breaking laws/rules etcetera…
