Event Catering

If you are a caterer looking to trade in Bridgend, The Vale of Glamorgan or Cardiff from a market stall, mobile food unit or use Council’s catering facilities, you must comply with food hygiene legislation. 

Your business will need to have high standards of hygiene to attend a Council organised event to ensure consumers are protected and that food hygiene standards are high.

Caterers must be registered with Shared Regulatory Services, and for moveable premises where the vehicle is kept overnight.Visit our register a food business page

Your catering operations, food stall or vehicle may be inspected by our Food Safety Officers and if conditions are found to be unsatisfactory, you may be asked to close or take other necessary action in order to put things right.

Inspections will look at:

• The structure of the vehicle, market stall or premises
• Its fitness as a food preparation area
• Hand washing facilities
• Food handling practices
• Food storage facilities
• Facilities for solid and liquid waste
• Food hygiene training of staff
• Your food safety management systems

If you are a mobile or outside caterer who trades outside Bridgend, Cardiff or Vale of Glamorgan we may consult other Local Authorities for information on trading practices.
