How to register your Business

In response to demand for local businesses that are still trading and can provide food and essentials, Maidstone Borough Council is creating a directory on the Council website of them, please register now if you want to be added to the list.

Any business offering home deliveries or a takeaway service for food or other items in the Maidstone district should register.  To register please email: homedeliverybusinesses@maidstone.gov.uk with the following information:

• Name, address, including the postcode of the business

• Description of the service/product offered (as you would like it published)

• Telephone or online ordering information

• Website or Facebook page address

• Area of Maidstone delivered to or where the takeaway is located (by postcode of areas covered, or all of the Borough)

• Opening days and hours of business

• Image or logo (optional)

• Any other information: e.g. offers to NHS, Fairtrade, charities supported

Businesses will also need to be able to take payment over the phone or online and should meet national guidance to stay open and operating.

The directory is up and running on the Visit Maidstone website: https://www.visitmaidstone.com/eating-and-drinking/home-deliveries-and-takeaways It will be promoted extensively to local media, on social media channels and via partner organisations.
