With Norfolk’s growing love for food festivals, street markets, and pop-up vans, the mobile catering scene is more vibrant than ever. From the lanes of Norwich to the coastlines of Cromer, food traders bring a rich variety of cuisines to locals and visitors alike. But behind every sizzling paella or gourmet burger is something less glamorous but absolutely vital: gas safety.
At Rockwater, we specialise in mobile catering gas safety checks for businesses across Norwich and the wider Norfolk area. Our mission is simple: to keep your unit compliant, safe, and ready to trade.
Why Gas Safety is Non-Negotiable
Whether you’re serving bao buns at a busy market or brewing artisan coffee at a rural festival, most mobile catering setups rely on LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) to power ovens, grills, and water heaters. If not properly maintained, this equipment can pose serious hazards including fire, gas leaks, and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Gas safety checks are a legal requirement. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 mandate that all gas appliances used in commercial catering environments must be checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Without a valid Gas Safety Certificate (CP44), local councils and event organisers can prevent you from trading.
Top Reasons to Book Your Gas Safety Check Now
1. Ensure You’re Event-Ready: Many Norfolk food festivals, especially popular ones like the Royal Norfolk Show or Norwich Vegan Festival, require up-to-date gas certification. Booking ahead ensures you’re not left out.
2. Avoid Costly Downtime: Spotting issues early can prevent breakdowns during busy periods. A quick check today can save a fortune in repairs (or lost revenue) tomorrow.
3. Peace of Mind: Knowing your equipment is running safely and efficiently lets you focus on what you do best—serving incredible food.
