The chef at my old nightclub used to do that. Would happily clear a grand a weekend sometimes
. The biggest issue was getting enough people to do the deliveries.Selling baked goods via sites like Gumtree for some cash during uni

Most unis have a market day; you might be able to get your own stall or share a stall with someone else. It's a great idea, make it fly

Aberdeen sounds a good bet lots of rich people up there. (Could sell to rich folk as well as students)
Stirling is a bit of a ghost town apart from the uni I hear (fwiw this might work in your favour as very little competition)

You are unlikely to get a good license in a student property.
It's not hard but things like walls in kitchen need to be washable to ceiling, anti fly stuff. Separate storage fridge/cupboards for sellable stuff.
As I say there's nothing particularly hard or expensive about it, just unlikely to get it in a shared property, let alone if you aren't willing to throw several hundred £ at it.
If you email/phone the council and get the inspector to phone you, he'll run through the basics with you in the phone. To get him out costs something like £25.
Any half decent market will require that and the food safety certificate. The food safety is like a day at collage and anyone can pass.
If you are in halls. Then that would make life easier, unofficial, walking distance for delivery and still several hundred people.

Eugh, my gf has fallen for this b.s. and keeps telling me how bad it is for you and I should stop eating it... no, it's bad for you if you are allergic/intolerant to it, in the same way as peanuts are bad for you... /rant
No good for us as we're not local, but if you can make it taste better than the **** in supermarkets I reckon you could have a decent market.
The trouble is intolerance could be pretty high, but people don't know what's causing issues, or as they've been issues for life, may not see it as an issue.
Some suggest over 15% of the population may be intolerant. I don't think it's a bad idea for people to cut it out for a month and see how they feel.
At least with lactose intolerance it's well understood. Even then, people can not know. Mum got diagnosed with lactose intolerant at the age of 60 something.
