Written answers

There is a general requirement for food businesses who sell food and drink to the public and who provide sit down facilities in this regard to also provide patrons with toilet facilities. I do not consider that it would be reasonable or, indeed, feasible to require all takeaway food outlets to provide such toilet facilities to patrons given that the type of food business involved is a take away service.
