Four Wetherspoon pubs have been recognised for their "high standard" toilets.

The Unicorn in Ashley Road in Altrincham, and The J P Joule in Northenden Road in Sale were awarded a platinum grade in the Loo of the Year Awards 2024.

The Bishop Blaize in Chester Road, Stretford and The Tim Bobbin in Flixton Road, Urmston, have also received the grade.

The awards aim to highlight and improve 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 to judge them.

The toilets are graded bronze, silver, gold, platinum, platinum plus, or diamond, with unacceptable toilets not graded at all.

The J P Joule manager, Kev Muldoon, said: "We are delighted with the grading.

"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 2024 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."

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