Fundraising and temporary food stalls
You need a permit each and every time you have a temporary food stall. They are free and easy to get.
Once you have completed the application form, and we have approved it, your permit will be signed and returned to you within 24 hours. Keep this permit handy when operating your stall, in case anyone asks!
Stall site
You will need permission from whoever owns the land your stall will be operating on. The most common situation is a stall on the street, meaning you have to get permission from the DCC’s Transportation Operations department before your permit will be issued. You will need to check who the landowner is in your case.
Contact us, if you wish to discuss your proposed activity or to apply for a permit.
Preparing and selling food for fundraising
The most common methods of selling food for fund-raising are sausage sizzles, and cake or confectionery stalls. These do not require registration under the Food Hygiene Regulations, but you must still prepare and handle the food in a safe and hygienic manner.
- Your stall and any equipment used must be clean and well maintained.
- Food must be stored, prepared, transported and displayed in an appropriate manner so it stays safe for eating.
- Ideally, have a different person for each task – handling money, cooking etc.
