Form 4: EHO - HSE Acknowledgement Letter

Mandatory for anyone selling or sampling food or drink for onsite OR offsite consumption.

If you are not already registered, stalls and mobile vehicles must register as a food business with the local HSE Environmental Health office, where the vehicle/stall and/or the stocks of food to be sold are ordinarily kept. If you make food from a restaurant you will still also need to register as a stall.

You should register at least 28 days before opening. To register online go to https://ehonline.hse.ie/ . It’s free to register, and your registration cannot be refused. This is a two stage process:

Step 1: Register for the portal.

Step 2: Then go back into submit your food business details.

Once this is processed you will be issued an acknowledgement letter with a reference number, you should have this with you at all times of operation (hard copy or electronically). Please note you do not register your stall to the Iveagh Gardens. If you have any queries or difficulties submitting online food business notifications you can contact the Environmental Health Service at foodbusinessnotification@hse.ie .

Please email your HSE Acknowledgement Letter to operations@equinoxevents.ie before 16th May 2025.
