Two Corby pubs on platinum roll of honour at Loo of the Year Awards

Two Wetherspoon pubs in Corby have won acclaim for the quality and standards of their toilets in this year’s Loo of the Year Awards.

The Samuel Lloyd in Rockingham Road and The Saxon Crown in Elizabeth Street have each been awarded a platinum rating.

Both pubs previously won platinum ratings in the 2020 awards.

The awards are aimed at highlighting and improving standards of ‘away from home’ toilet provision across the UK.

Loo of the Year Awards inspectors made unannounced visits to thousands of toilets at sites across the UK, in order to judge them.

The toilets are judged against numerous criteria, including décor and maintenance, cleanliness, accessibility, hand washing and drying equipment, and overall management.

The Samuel Lloyd manager, Jennifer Stewart, said: “We are delighted with the award. Staff at the pub ensure the toilets are in excellent condition at all times and it is great that this has been recognised by the inspectors.”

The Loo of the Year Awards 2023 managing director, Becky Wall, 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 deserve their platinum awards.”
