Outdoor Catering Checklist

The checklist is intended to help you ensure that your food business operates to the highest standards of

hygiene throughout the event. This checklist is based upon the Chartered Institute of Environmental

Health’s Guidelines for Outdoor Catering Events.

You should work through the checklist and ensure that you have everything in place prior to the event.

If you answer “No” to any of the questions, you must ensure that the matter, or potential

problem, is addressed before the event takes place.
