New food businesses: before or around opening
Every new food business has to tell the authorities before it opens. We check every day, across all 33 London areas, and pick out the ones just starting up.
Sources: many public records and published sources. We do our very best to keep people's names and home addresses out of the lists. If one slips through, email hello@venuespotter.co.uk and we'll remove it.
