Food stalls at events

Any traders selling food at a charity/community event or commercial event must have a minimum food hygiene rating of 3 out of 5 before they can trade.

See our Food hygiene rating scheme page for more information.

You must email a full list of traders to regulatoryservices@guildford.gov.uk at least a week before your event. 

Where a trader is selling food, you must tell us which local authority they are registered with, and their current food hygiene rating.
