Four Wetherspoon pubs in Bexley have won acclaim for the quality and standards of their toilets.

The New Cross Turnpike in Bellegrove Road, Welling, was awarded a platinum plus by inspectors. 

The Wrong ‘Un in Broadway and the Furze Wren in Market Place, both in Bexleyheath, and the Tailor’s Chalk in Sidcup have each been given a platinum rating.

Inspectors make unannounced visits to thousands of toilets at sites across the UK, in order to judge them.

Toilets are graded silver, gold, platinum, platinum plus or diamond with unacceptable toilets not graded at all.

The New Cross manager, Toni Sadler, 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 toilets are judged against numerous criteria, including décor and maintenance, cleanliness, accessibility, hand washing and drying equipment and overall management.

The Loo of the Year Awards 2023 managing director, Becky Wall, said: "The toilets at the four pubs have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained.

"The pubs deserve their awards."
