Alcohol, entertainment and late night refreshment
)
sell food or drinks late at night or into the morning (see
Alcohol, entertainment and late night refreshment
)
offer a venue for civil marriages (see
wedding venues
)
are in a sex related business (see
sex establishments
)
sell things in public places or from a vehicle (see
trading
)

gambling
)
