Dont buy a Brand new trailer, there are plenty of good used ones around, mainly from people that can't make it work.

 

shut beach go learn to drive

 

used to have one. not a bad living if you get the correct pitch, thats the hardest part. If you are thing of doing large shows etc, forget it. The pitch rates are a fooking rip off, all the large firms tend to just bulk buy the lot.

Make sure you get your health and hygiene certs, as the environmental health will pay you a visit soon after you register

Any questions just ask mate

 

health and hygiene certs

Aint you forgetting Derby has certain brothers that run all the vans?

 

lol they aint gonna be fussed about me neil trust they concentrate on shows and footy ground nowadays the days of them being fussed about the local 7 til 2 grease wagon are over im sure of it

 

Please no more comments last nite nearly finished me off ive about had enough

 

Fair enough mate, i'd not do it tho

 

stop being a mardy little crash test dummy

 

look at the amount of them round derby and they dont run non of them
burger wars is a thing of the past

 

Furry muff bud, let me know where you setup!

 

lol just dont go telling the enemy and i dont do discount either just like yaself

 

Would'nt ask for a discount bud, self-employed is a nitemare!

 

you will need your elementry food hygene certificate, this costs about Ł100 and is a one day course, you will need to have a traders license obviously, the van must have 3 sinks, it will need to be inspected by eho but you will find out more about this when you apply for your license,if you are going to be preparing stuff in your home kitchen(ie chopping onions,buttering rolls etc) that will need to be inspected too, you will need to keep daily temperature checks on your fridge and hot holding food in the bain marie, then there is doing the books, as part of the conditions of your license your books must be up to date and be ready for inspection at any time, also there is the whole inland revenue bit that i aint too clued up on anythin else?

 

cheers mate that about covers it how much doe the council charge for pitches on an average ?

 

The council will not charge for a pitch as a rule as your license will cover you to work on public ground etc( i think) but i would not say your trailer will require 3 sinks, my old one never had 3 and it was not an issure. Best bet is to speak to your local council/ EHO as regs do change quite fast.

Are you thinking of doing this full or part time out of interest, and are you looking at investing a "reasonable" amount of cash or just a few k? Not being nosey, just its easier to give advice knowing more of the situation (sp?)

 

yeah wasnt to sure about the sink thing myself as the 2 i go to only have 1
