Food Hygiene Certificate in Brighton & Hove — Online Training

Brighton & Hove has one of the densest independent food scenes in the UK, from the Lanes and North Laine to Kemptown, plus a strong street food, vegan and plant-based sector along the seafront. The Food Allergy Awareness course in particular is heavily used in the city because customer expectations on allergen communication are unusually high.

Brighton & Hove City Council's environmental health team inspects under the FSA Food Hygiene Rating Scheme. Allergen handling is a recurring focus in the city given the high proportion of plant-based and substitution-heavy menus.

All five courses align with the Food Standards Agency (FSA) guidance for food handlers across England, Wales and Northern Ireland — the same framework local authorities use when carrying out hygiene inspections.

Operators on the seafront in particular run high seasonal turnover. The online format gets a new starter through Level 2 Food Hygiene in an afternoon, and the Food Allergy Awareness course covers Natasha's Law for the PPDS sandwiches, salads and grab-and-go items typical of beachfront kitchens.
