Blasted noise

We have a certificate for restaurants to display concerning hygiene but nothing to indicate high levels of noise, which can be distressing, perhaps more to older diners.

I would like to know if decibel measurements are ever taken when a restaurant is at half to full capacity.

Recently, I had a very distressing experience at one of two eateries in Cornwall Park.

It cannot be healthy for diners or staff to be subjected to such appalling levels of sound.

On work sites, health and safety insists on hearing protection being worn.

Our hearing should not be compromised by such excessive noise.
