    A bed and breakfast establishment may be a commercial premises who provides short term overnight stay with breakfast included (hot or cold). It may also be a domestic premises where the business is supplementary to its domestic use.

    Do I need to register?

    In January 2006 food hygiene legislation was updated and changed to include the registration of all food handling establishments. If you provide food (even just a hot drink and a bowl of cereal) then you are considered to be a food business and will need to register with your local Environmental Health service.

    To register download a food registration form, complete and send it to the address on the bottom of the form.
