Genuinely unsure if IABU

[devildeepbluesea]

My lovely neighbour (rented property) told me on moving in that she works nights as a HCP. This is borne out, as far as it goes - she’s clearly out overnight but only for 1-2 nights per week.

In the meantime I’m pretty sure she’s running a commercial kitchen from her home, and making her living mostly from this.

Are there any circumstances where this is ok? I don’t want to knacker her income stream but equally I’m a bit worried about vermin (lots of evidence of food prep outside in the garden).

call the police

I’m sure lots do manage to have BBQ’s outside, however the law around food prep doesn’t apply if cooking for yourself/guests. It’s very different if you are prepping food and selling it to the general public though

Quite, but there is no evidence this is happening.
This is completely made up.
All the OP has noticed, is cooking smells.
No evidence of Ubereats and deliveroo motorcycles queuing down the road....no leaflets advertising the food....... no families turning up and knocking the door to collect / buy food. She has smelled some lovely cooking smells and made up her own story.

but leave food waste around in the garden which is what OP was concerned about would attract vermin

Again, she (OP) has not seen this.
She believes she (neighbour) does some prep or cooking in the garden. That's all.
She says "evidence of food prep", not "constantly leaving food (or food waste) outside"

People on here are it picking and turning it into something it isn’t.

Yes, the OP, and others, including you
