As OSM is willing to add an address/postcode to the location, I'm still
struggling to understand the reluctance to add an fhrs:id. The FSA did
issue the FHRS database under an open license didn't they?
General Point:
As I said before adding FHRS:ID is an ends in itself. It will allow
sites such as 'scores on the doors' to pin point businesses accurately,
rather than relying on the inaccurate co-ordinates in the fhrs database.

In Australia business have to have a legal physical address with a
plaque on the entry with their name.
Start up businesses start out using their home address for costs
.. plaque usually goes on the back door ... the local council has
the area designated for residential use and may discourage
business there so they are on iffy ground hence the back door plaque.
If things go well then the may get a rent on another location for
the 'active' part of the business ... but retain the home address
as the registered part just incase they find the rent too much or
need to move to another location. That can go on for some time.
Hence the register may contain a 'residential' address for a
business that is actually located else where. I think that maybe
what is going on here. Cost associated with changing the address
of the 'business' dissuade frequent changes - particularly on
startups.
A 'mobile' business .. such as a mobile caterer or a mobile
mechanic may not be something that needs to present on the OSM
map? I'd think someone looking for a mobile service would want to
contact them by phone .. and be best served by using a phone search.

Perhaps they prepare the food at their home address? or this is
their official business address?

There's a cupcake business locally which I suspect is a home
business
(as the streets in that area are only residential AFAIK). I
haven't
actually been there to check it out.
