Milton Keynes pub flushed with success after scooping 'Loo of the Year' award

Captain Ridley's Shooting Party in Queensway has been awarded a platinum rating by inspectors in the national Loo of the Year

Awards 2020.

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

Loo of the Year Awards inspectors make unannounced visits to thousands of toilets nationally. They are judged against numerous criteria, including décor and maintenance, cleanliness, accessibility, hand washing and drying equipment and overall management.

The best loos are graded silver, gold, platinum or diamond with unacceptable toilets not graded at all.

Captain Ridley's Shooting Party, which is a Wetherspoon pub, is managed by Sam Kelman.

He said: "We are delighted with the award. Staff at the pub ensure the toilets are in first-class condition at all times and it is great that this has been recognised by the inspectors."

The Loo of the Year Awards 2020 managing director Mike Bone said: "The toilets at Captain Ridley's Shooting Party have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained. The pub richly deserves its platinum award."
