And the Loo of the Year Award goes to.... a Merseyside Wetherspoons pub

A Birkenhead pub has received an excellent ranking at the Loo of the Year Awards 2022.

Aiming to improve the quality of ‘away from home’ toilets, the annual awards see inspectors grade the loos based on criteria such as décor, cleanliness, accessibility, hand washing and drying equipment.

Visiting the toilets unannounced, inspectors provide grades of silver, gold, platinum, platinum plus or diamond - unacceptable toilets are not graded at all.

The Brass Balance, a Wetherspoons pub on Argyle Street, has been awarded the platinum ranking.

The Loo of the Year Awards 2022 Managing Director, Becky Wall, said: “The toilets at The Brass Balance have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained. The pub deserves its platinum award.”
