Hi, in the UK there is no such thing as a licence per se.
All food businesses need to be registered with their local authority (local council)- this is free of charge and its sole purpose is to make the local authority aware that there is a food business in operation - no prior checks are required legally, although it is good practice to get in touch with your local authority inspector (environmental health officer - EHO) as any potential problems could be ironed out at this stage. You should register your business at least 28 days before you open (though this often doesnt happen until last minute) The EHO is obliged to pay you a visit within 28 days of receiving the form.
All food handlers must have some form of food hygiene training - it is easier to demonstrate your food hygiene training if you have attended a basic food hygiene course - these usually last for one day. Strictly speaking you do not HAVE to have attended a course,and online training is becoming more commonplace, although the vast majority of food handlers do undertake some form of training. Managers of larger businesses may do a more advanced form of training.
