During my time as a Food Safety Trainer I come across chefs and cooks who tell me that Environmental Health Practitioners have stated that hot Food must not be sold after 2 hours.
This is not in any UK Food Safety legislation.
After food has been cooked to 75 degrees C, it must be retained above 63 degrees C. Providing it is kept above this temperature, it can be served all day long, there is no time limit. Obviously the food quality is affected if it is held for long periods of time. From a food safety perspective, it is perfectly safe for as long as it is held at this temperature.
The two hour hot rule states that if the temperature of the held food falls below 63 degrees C, it must be served/sold within 2 hours of the drop in temperature. After 2 hours, if any food remains, it is allowed to be cooled down, refrigerated and re-used, either cold, or re-heated (only once) and served.
