EHO
(REPORT BY NICOLE REDMAN, EHO)
Noise nuisance - as the shed is in the licensed garden area which has been used as beer garden
historically without EH or Licensing receiving any noise complaints I do not foresee any issues
regarding statutory noise nuisance.
Food hygiene – the shed should have a means of wash and drying hands with a supply of potable hot
and cold water. All food (drinks, crisps, nuts etc.) and drinks glasses must be stored in a suitable
condition protected from contamination. If the drinks glasses are washed in the shed then they must
have sufficient washing facilities, again with a potable supply of hot and cold running water. 
The shed must be structurally sound and prevent access for pests, with adequate mechanical or
natural ventilation.
