Food hygiene ratingsedit
In 2014, the club received a zero rating for food hygiene after an inspection found mice feces in kitchens, prompting worries of cross-contamination.[10] In 2015, the Hospital Club received a five-star rating by the Foods Standard Agency.[11]
Television studio (h Studio)edit
Post-Paralympics legacy event in the studio
The venue's 2,700 square feet (250 m2)[12]television studio is located two floors below ground level, and when it opened in 2003 was the first high-definition television studio in the UK. A grid height of 4.4 metres (14 ft) and a size of 61 feet x 44 feet, roughly equivalent to that of Television Centre's TC2, means it was well used for programme production.[13]
The studio can accommodate an audience of approximately 250 people sitting or standing.[14] The sound production room was upgraded in conjunction with Solid State Logic.[15] In summer 2023 it was announced that the studio would be re-opening [16] after an extensive refit. Celebro Studios have taken over the running of the studio site and are to install a second smaller podcasting and streaming studio on the site.[17]
