Why not? The clerk does not care what you have brought and it's none of his business anyway.

fivejedjon did not say you're not allowed to take food into a hotel.

The point is that whether you do or not is nobody's business but your own.

Knightofsports I'm asking them to heat up my leftovers that's why I've brought it up.
In the UK it would be most unusual to ask a hotel to warm up the leftovers of food that you had brought in to the hotel.
