Two Wetherspoon pubs have been praised for their toilet standards in the 2024 Loo of the Year Awards.

The Up Steps Inn on High Street, Oldham, and The Shay Wake on Milnrow Road, Shaw, each received a platinum grading for their facilities.

This recognises the "quality and cleanliness" of their away-from-home toilet provision.

Loo of the Year inspectors carried out unannounced visits to thousands of toilets across the UK, grading them from bronze to diamond.

The Up Steps Inn manager, Nicholas Smith, 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 toilets were judged on various criteria including decor and maintenance, cleanliness, accessibility, and hand washing and drying equipment.

Managing director of the Loo of the Year Awards 2024, 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."
