Loo of the Year Awards inspectors made unannounced visits to thousands of toilets at sites across the

UK, in order to judge them.

All of the toilets are graded silver, gold, platinum 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.

Richy 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 2021 managing director, Becky Wall, said: "The toilets at The Bourtree

have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained.

"The pub deserves its platinum award."
