Sorry to start a new thread, I posted in both of the old ones several weeks ago and no response, so here goes.
My local council owns several venues that have kitchens, bars etc. to hire for functions. If I wanted to bake {to sell} at my local market {also within the same council area} how would it work if I hired their venue (kitchen) out weekly?? Surely they are already up to spec. if they are allowing people to hire them out. I could ask Environmental Health to check my kitchen, but after reading all of this, it seems to be too much trouble + I have 2 cats. I am thinking that it would be easier to pay the £35.00-£40.00 for the venue, overnight.....bake myself to death, then go to the market the following day. Ideas? Suggestions? Everyone keeps telling me to open my own bakery etc, but there is no £££ to do that and an industrial unit costs too much as well......

Depends on what the kitchens in the venues are suitable for - often it may be tea & coffee only.
Also they are unlikely to let you hire the venue for commercial purposes as 'social' rates.
In my experience of council hall kitchens they'd need a good scrub down before you could use them for food prep anyway!A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0 -
Like OM says it depends but I personally wouldn't fancy transporting baking paraphanelia backwards and forwards, even if the property was suitable. Do you know someone with a suitable kitchen you could "borrow" and get inspected and signed off.0
