How quickly can a mobile caterer set up in Wirral?

You need environmental health registration with Wirral Council and a food hygiene certificate. Once you have these, you can trade immediately. Pitch availability at markets and events varies seasonally—summer fêtes book 2–3 months ahead. Winter corporate events often plan further out.
