A PUB in Greenock has won acclaim for the quality and standards of its toilets – in the Loo of the Year Awards 2023.

The James Watt in Cathcart Street has been awarded a gold rating by inspectors.

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

Loo of the Year Awards inspectors made an unannounced visit to the premises to carry out checks.

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

Pub manager Neil Clark 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 2023 managing director, Becky Wall, said: "The toilets at The James Watt have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained.

"The pub deserves its gold award."
