Share your cooking with the people on your street. 0% commission: keep every penny you earn, with a free food safety toolkit and training to run a safe, proper food business from home.
Many food platforms keep a cut of every sale. On NeighbourPlate you set your price and keep every penny of it.
Optional extras such as listing boosts and the Supplies shop are paid for, and charges can apply if you cancel an order you've accepted. Everything is shown before you commit, and set out in the Seller Terms.
UK law has clear rules for selling food. We make each step as simple as we can.
Sellers must be adults living in the United Kingdom.
Register your food business with your local council. It's free. You'll normally need to wait 28 days after registering before you can sell.
Once your council has inspected you, your rating must be 3 or higher. A new business with no rating yet is not treated as having a low one.
Use Safer Food Better Business, another recognised system, or the built-in pack in the NeighbourPlate app.
A council registration document or hygiene certificate, so we know the business is yours.
UK law requires online marketplaces to hold sellers' tax details and report them to HMRC. They're private and never shown to buyers. Your own tax and registration choices stay yours.
Tell us about your food business, upload your proof, and choose your food safety system. Our team reviews every application.
Add photos, set your prices, declare allergens, and say when buyers can collect. You can offer extras too.
Buyers reserve and pay in the app. You cook, then confirm the handover by scanning their QR code or typing their 6-digit number, and get paid.
Cook to order, sell what you've already made, or take bespoke requests. Mix and match, and change it whenever you like.
Choose your collection day and an order deadline. Buyers reserve portions before it closes, so you only cook what's already sold.
List food you've already made and let nearby neighbours reserve it for collection today. Perfect for batch cooks and spare portions.
Buyers describe what they'd like. You chat in the app, send a formal offer with your price and timing, and cook once they accept.
Diary, cleaning and temperature records, suppliers, training and an allergen register, ready if an inspector calls.
Keep your recipes in one place. It's yours alone and never shared with buyers.
Build your reputation with reviews from real orders, and optionally boost a listing to be seen first.
Joining and listing are free, and there is 0% commission: you keep every penny of the price you set, including any extras. The food safety toolkit and training are free too. A few things are optional or conditional: listing boosts and the Supplies shop are paid for, and charges can apply if you cancel an order you've accepted. Everything is shown before you commit, and set out in the Seller Terms.
UK consumer law says a trader must be identified before a sale. Your listing shows your name, your food business name and your registered business address, which is the address on your food business registration. Exact collection details are given to a buyer once they order.
You are. You're an independent food business, and you're responsible for food safety, allergen information and labelling. NeighbourPlate provides the marketplace and the tools to help, but doesn't take that responsibility from you.
We strongly recommend public and product liability insurance that covers selling food from home through an online marketplace, and telling your insurer that you sell through NeighbourPlate.
Payouts go to your bank through our secure payment provider after the order is collected, with a short protection window so buyers can report a genuine problem. You'll see every order and payout in the app.
