2 Wetherspoon pubs on the Isle of Wight have won acclaim for the quality and standards of their toilets in the Loo of the Year Awards 2020.
Fowler & Co. in Union Street, Ryde and The Man in the Moon in St James Street, Newport have each been awarded a platinum rating by inspectors, meaning the toilets are set to be super clean when the pubs can re-open on 2nd December (hopefully!).
The awards are aimed at highlighting and improving standards of ‘away from home’ toilet provision across the UK.
Loo of the Year Awards inspectors make unannounced visits to thousands of toilets at sites across the UK, in order to judge them. All of the toilets are graded silver, gold, platinum or diamond with unacceptable toilets not graded at all.
The toilets are judged against numerous criteria, including décor and maintenance, cleanliness, accessibility, hand washing and drying equipment and overall management.
Neil Longley, manager of Fowler & Co., has said:
“We are delighted with the award. Staff at the pub ensure the toilets are in first-class condition at all times and it is great that this has been recognised by the inspectors.”
The Loo of the Year Awards 2020 managing director, Mike Bone, said:
“The toilets at the two pubs have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained.
“The pubs richly deserve their platinum awards.”
Well done
Urine shock about this aren’t you? You think they are taking the p*ss!
Great pubs, clean and cheap, what’s not to like?
So loos in closed pubs are judged to be clean ?? seriously ?
Really!!!!! What are they like when they are being used and the island isn’t in lockdown? Is this really news………
No it isn’t news quite right!
Shame the same standard of cleanliness isn’t applied to the tables.
