Posted By Swis No problems in providing the cooker as long as it is in good state to use, maintained etc. You may need safety certificate annually if it's a gas cooker(gas safe register)

Posted By Ron Hunter It isn't prohibited. Larger electric cookers (with hotplates and oven in a combined appliance) will need a dedicated electrical supply from the main board. A "Baby Belling" or similar might work for you. Guessing you have decent washing facilities for all those pots and pans!

Posted By Coshh Assessor There's no reason why it can't be done - but do review your fire risk assessment (will you allow deep fat frying?)

Posted By Ian-Edwards IMPORTANT INSURANCE IMPLICATIONS! Make sure you notify your Property insurers of this change. This would constitute a material fact that should be disclosed to insurers in good time to enable them to re-assess the underwriting exposure. Are you directly employing kitchen staff, or employing contractors? Either way, your liability insurers must also be informed. Beware!! Insurer attitudes are hardening!! Ian
