What YOU must not sell at our Car Boot Sales

YOU MUST NOT SELL any of the following at out Car Boot Sales………………
WINES, SPIRITS, CIGARETTES, TOBACCO, ANIMALS, CHILDREN, FAKE DVD’s or FAKE CD’s or VIDEOS, KIDS PC GAMES, GUNS, KNIVES, FOOD, CAKES, SANDWICHES, DRINKS, FRUIT, VEGETABLES, CRISPS and SWEETS of any kind without the express permission of CARBOOTSCORNWALL and with the approval of CORNWALL COUNCIL HEALTH AUTHORITES and TRADING STANDARDS!

Whilst you may well be a ready good cook you are not allowed to ‘feed the public’ without going through Health & Safety checks at your home address or ‘where the food is prepared’ by Cornwall Council and you must possess Food Handling training with approved certificates and Public Liability Insurance.

A man complained about one stall who was selling ‘sweaty sweets’ on one stall at Mitchell last Saturday further they were selling soft drinks & crisps that were split down from multi packs to separate items which is not allowed.

We have our own Car Boots Catering trailers which have undergone stringent Health & Safety checks including fire & gas certification and we have a FIVE STAR ***** rating from Cornwall Council for our trailers and our unit at Kernick Industrial Estate, Penryn.

I/we will not hesitate to ‘close down’ any stalls selling any of the above items without the required approval of Cornwall Council authorities and permission from Car Boots Cornwall.
If you are unsure please ask one of our team or speak to Louise or myself for advice.

We have a qualified Butcher at some of our Car Boot Sales and all Health & Safety checks have been carried out and the Butcher has Full Public Liability Insurance Cover.

We are currently looking for a FRUIT & VEGETABLE seller as Joey’s Fruit & Veg has decided to keep to his farming profession, we are NOT looking for a high rent but we are looking for someone to provide fruit & Vegetables to our customers?

If you are unsure ASK!

Finally,if you are a MARKET TRADER and you pay extra to set up your stalls early you must keep to your selling space for at least 3 hours before leaving the selling area. It is disrespectful to other traders to expect to trade for an hour and then leave large gaps in the selling areas by going early! If you do not respect fellow traders you will NOT be allowed in to set up early or you could be BARRED for interrupting the smooth running of our CAR BOOT SALES and disrespect to fellow traders!!

Remember all you ‘Market Traders’ we run “CAR BOOT SALES” and as a gesture of goodwill we allow you to trade with our Car Boot Sellers, do not ruin our Car Boot Sales similar to the serious decline in MARKETS caused by yourselves my lovers!!!!

Ps; I am stunned that HAYLE Rugby Club and Rosudgeon Cricket Club (both of them registered charities) have the nerve to charge up to £40.00 for large vans and Market Traders to sell at their Car Boot Sales. To be able to cover that sort of rent and pay for their fuel and travel expenses they would need to be enjoying takings in excess of £400.00 to show any sensible profits on the day! Rip off or WHAT?
