What should Morpeth owners check first?

- Odour control on the extraction is often a planning condition.
- Wall finishes must be smooth, washable and non-absorbent in food areas.

Questions about takeaway and hot food fit-out in Morpeth
Do I need planning permission for a takeaway?
A hot food takeaway is its own use class, so converting a shop usually needs planning permission. We check before you commit to the lease.

A canopy over cooking equipment, ductwork to a high-level discharge, a fan and usually odour filtration. The spec depends on what you cook.
