Claiming Input VAT on first VAT Return?

I started my restaurant business on 1st April 2008 but did not register for VAT at the time as my sales were below the VAT threshold.

However, on 1st December 2008 I registered ffor VAT as my sales had reached the limit. I have now received my first VAT Return for the quarter 1/12/08 to 28/2/09. Can I claim the VAT on purchases I have incurred in setting up the business prior to 01/12/08? And if so, is there a limit to how far back I can go? The costs are things like initial marketing, refurbishment, specialist equipment, internet connection, setting up phone lines, solicitors fees, signage etc.

It's all here:
