Corby pub toilets on platinum roll of honour at Loo of the Year awards

Corby's two Wetherspoon pubs have shown to be far from bog standard in the Loo of the Year Awards 2020.

The lavatories of The Samuel Lloyd in Rockingham Road and The Saxon Crown in Elizabeth Street have won acclaim for the quality and standards of their toilets.

Number one for number ones, each wonderful WC has been awarded a platinum rating by inspectors.

Flushed with success, The Samuel Lloyd manager, Jennifer Stewart, 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 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.

The Loo of the Year Awards 2020 managing director, Mike Bone, added: "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."
