The manager of a Helensburgh pub is “delighted” to have won an award the building's “very high standard” toilets.

Wetherspoon pub The Henry Bell on James Street was awarded a platinum rating by inspectors at the Loo of the Year Awards 2023.

The awards aim to highlight and improve standards of 'away from home' toilets throughout the UK.

Manager Lynne 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."

To assess the toilets fairly, Loo of the Year Awards inspectors made unannounced visits to toilets in thousands of sites across the UK before giving their ratings.

Toilets are graded silver, gold, platinum, platinum plus or diamond - with ‘unacceptable’ toilets not receiving a rating.

Judges rate toilets on a variety of criteria, including décor and maintenance, cleanliness, accessibility, hand washing and drying equipment, and overall management.

Managing director of this year’s awards, Becky Wall, said: "The toilets at The Henry Bell have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained.

"The pub deserves its platinum award."
