Ice cream businesses
Factsheet including information on cleaning and disinfecting premises, food busine
Several ice cream businesses have contacted us asking if they can trade.
Following government guidance that food delivery and takeaway can remain operational, we advise businesses to:
- Take orders and deliver.
- Follow social distancing measures.
- Use a vehicle other than an ice cream van to help reduce negative attention from the public.
Businesses are encouraged to take orders via telephone or social media and to trade in a static position for takeaway whilst following strict social distancing measures.
Street trading and use of music/bell is discouraged as this may encourage people to leave their homes and gather socially.
Our food team have been contacting all Chesterfield Borough Council registered ice cream businesses to give advice.
For further advice and guidance, please contact our food team at food@chesterfield.gov.uk.
