Loo of the Year Awards: Leighton Buzzard pub gets ‘platinum rating’

A Wetherspoon pub in Leighton Buzzard has been awarded for its ‘platinum-rated’ toilet.

The Swan Hotel in the High Street received the award, which is aimed at highlighting and improving standards of ‘away from home’ toilets in the UK.

Inspectors made unannounced visits to thousands of toilets at sites across the UK – toilets are graded silver, gold, platinum, platinum plus, or diamond, with unacceptable toilets not graded at all.

The Swan Hotel is managed by Eddie Ball. Eddie 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 Swan Hotel have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained. The pub deserves its platinum award.”
