A Bridport pub is flushed with success after winning a Loo of the Year Award.

The Greyhound in East Street has won acclaim for the quality and standards of its toilets – and was awarded a platinum rating by inspectors.

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

The Greyhound - which is a Wetherspoon pub - is managed by Nadine Lane.

She 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."

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

All the toilets are graded silver, gold, platinum, platinum plus 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 2022 managing director, Becky Wall, said: "The toilets at The Greyhound have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained.

"The pub deserves its platinum award."
