    So me and my mate were planning to sell pizzas, using this really good portable wood fired pizza oven I got during lockdown, on the beach whenever it’s sunny during the summer. We’re both 18, so obviously we have no qualifications or licenses to do this. What licenses do we need and are they expensive? What are the penalties for not having one and are they severe? Do you think we could get away with not having one???

    You could try, but then I doubt your insurance will hold up if you lacking the proper certifications, aside from all the other penalties

    Fair play to you for being entrepreneurial at 18 but start as you mean to go on, do it the right way and don't cut corners. it is as easy do things the right way than not. Also if I sold food anywhere near guys selling food illegally I would be furious and straight on to the authorities to have you stopped. You would be lucky to last 1 week selling food illegally.
