Oban pub has loo-xurious lavs
AN OBAN pub has received the highest award possible for the quality and standards of its toilets at this year’s Loo of the Year Awards.
The Corryvreckan in Waterfront Centre, Railway Pier, has been awarded a platinum star rating by inspectors.
The awards, celebrating their 30th anniversary this year, are aimed at highlighting and improving standards of toilets across the UK.
Inspectors make unannounced visits to thousands of toilets in order to judge them.
All of the toilets are graded from bronze to platinum with unacceptable toilets not graded at all.
The platinum rating is given only to outlets which offer ‘exceptional toilets’.
The toilets are judged against numerous criteria, including décor and maintenance, cleanliness, accessibility, hand washing and drying equipment and overall management.
Oban’s Corryvreckan, a Wetherspoon pub, is managed by Alan Yiatro and Elizabeth Piper.
Alan said: ‘We are delighted with the award. Staff at the pub ensure the toilets are in firstclass condition at all times and it is great that this has been recognised by the inspectors.’
The Loo of the Year Awards 2017 managing director, Mike Bone, said: ‘The toilets at The Corryvreckan 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 – the highest individual award the judges can deliver.’
