Deep fryer

[misscroquetas]

Hi all, not sure exactly how is that works. I just gonna ask this question, and see if you can help me. I rent a commercial premise. I will open a deli shop, and I am building up a kitchen inside. As I do homemade food. Do I need special licence of permission for use a deep fryer? Thank you very much

I don't know about permission but I believe your insurer will need to be told. Deep fryers are a fire risk.

Presumably you have a licence to sell hot food?

You may also need proper extraction - your local authority can help you

For H&S you will need an extract system. For insurance you will almost certainly need a fire suppression system

These will almost certainly cost a lot more than your fryer,

All of the above and more, plus does you landlord know what you intend to do as pretty sure they will have a few on this especially regarding insurance

If you are selling hot food ie it's warmed, heated, fried etc on the premises you will need a A5 licence. If you have this already you are allowed deep fat fryers, gas pizza oven, bain marie, hot cabinets etc.. you will need extraction fan and necessary paperworks for fire and safety of your employees. There are also A1 and A3 licences which are sub licences for say cafe think that one is A1 but again it depends on what you are serving ie just sandwiches no actual flames used ie gas, will be different class. Less regulations but restricted in use You need to ask the council tell them exactly what you are offering and they should be able to point you to the right direction.

First question: Does your landlord know?

You will need to check with your local authority and council.
