The Wetherspoon's Jewel of the Severn in Bridgnorth High Street has been awarded a platinum grading by inspectors in the Loo of the Year 2024, in which toilets judged against numerous criteria, including décor and maintenance, cleanliness, accessibility, hand washing and drying equipment and overall management.

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

The pub has previously won platinum awards for its facilities in 2021 and 2023.

"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," said pub manager Oonagh Morris.

Loo of the Year Awards inspectors made unannounced visits to thousands of toilets at sites across the UK, in order to judge them, with all of the toilets inspected graded bronze, silver, gold, platinum, platinum plus or diamond with unacceptable toilets not graded at all.

The Loo of the Year Awards 2024 managing director, Becky Wall, added: "The toilets at The Jewel ofthe Severn have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained.

"The pub deserves its platinum award."
