Before you start selling ice cream across the UK, it’s essential to understand the permit requirements for mobile vendors. Over the years, ZZKNOWN has helped many first-time British buyers prepare their carts for inspection and avoid unnecessary delays.
Typically, UK councils require you to:
-
Register your food business with your local authority at least 28 days before trading
-
Obtain street trading consent or market stall permission
-
Comply with food hygiene and safety regulations (Food Hygiene Rating Scheme)
-
Have a cart that meets CE and electrical safety standards
ZZKNOWN’s carts already come with CE and ISO certifications, food-grade materials, and a hygienic stainless-steel interior—all features that make the approval process smoother. We also customise sink systems, hot/cold water units, and waste outlets to match UK hygiene expectations.
Many of our clients in London, Manchester, and Birmingham found that using a professional cart manufacturer like ZZKNOWN made it easier to demonstrate compliance during their first inspection.
