Only businesses selling hot food or hot drinks to the public between 11pm and 5am will need a licence. There are also exemptions for the following: • hot food or drinks given away for free • hot drinks supplied by an automated vending machine • hot food or drinks supplied by a registered charity • hot food or drinks supplied on a moving vehicle • hot food or drinks supplied to guests at a hotel • hot food or drinks supplied by a recognised club to club members • hot food or drinks supplied by an employer to his/her employees in their workplace Supplying hot alcoholic drinks, such as Irish coffee, is not classified as late night refreshment, although a licence for the sale of alcohol will be required.
