I recently attended a 21st Birthday Party in the Function Room (upstairs) at The Studio, a new bar with a function room in the Market Place, Cleethorpes.
The beer flowed and therefore a few "comfort breaks" were required!!
The loos were a triumph. There were only two in the ladies, but this was sufficient for the number of people attending. The actual toilet was a shiny metal and was beautifully clean. There was plenty of loo paper, the sinks were clean, the floor was clean and free of debris. There was no unpleasant odour and the loos remained clean even as the night wore on - so must have been regularly checked. Liquid soap was plentiful and there were adequate hand drying facilities.
So it's a positive report for The Studio in this informal review.
This has set the bar very high and has helped to clarify the judging criteria. The questionnaire will cover:
- number of cubicles / queueing time
- general overall cleanliness
- is the toilet itself a clean toilet
- state of repair (looking at things like broken toilet seats / loo roll holders / locks on doors
- basics - is there plenty of loo roll, liquid soap, hand drying facilities
- how does it smell?
- ladies essentials - are there sufficient sanitary bins and are they clean
- what about vending machine for ladies hygiene / contraception?
- added extras... those finishing touches that are not essential but are always welcome - a hook on the door to hang bags, hand cream, air freshener.
If you think of any other criteria that we should judge, please leave a comment.
