Halal certification for restaurants and cafes
A restaurant qualifies for GHC certification when it serves no pork, serves no alcohol, and every meat item is supplied already halal certified. We review your menu and supplier certificates, then issue a numbered certificate customers can verify.
Why restaurants & cafes get halal certified
Customers no longer trust unverified halal signs in windows.
Delivery platforms and listing sites ask for proof of halal status.
A certificate number customers can check builds repeat trade.
Corporate and community catering bookings often require documentation.

Common questions
We serve alcohol. Can we still be certified?
No. Venues that serve or store alcohol or pork are outside the GHC scope.
Do you certify our meat supplier?
No. Your meat must already carry a recognised halal certificate, which we verify as part of your application.
