In short: Delivery-led food businesses depend on lots of potential customers within a short delivery radius, plus easy rider access. Premises usually need permission for hot food takeaway use, which is outside Class E, plus suitable extraction and odour control, and landlord consent. Compare rents and business rates in dense residential areas against central locations. Fraser Bond helps food businesses find suitable premises in London.
