A Portishead pub has been given an award for the standard of its toilets.

The Posset Cup, which opened earlier this year and is run by JD Wetherspoon, has been given a platinum star rating at the Loo of the Year Awards 2016.

Inspectors made an unannounced spot-check and were impressed with the pub’s toilets.

Manager Emma Simpson said: “I am delighted with the award.

“Staff at the pub work hard to ensure the toilets are in first-class condition at all times and it is great that this has been recognised by the inspectors.”

The awards’ managing director Mike Bone was full of praise for Wetherspoons’ facilities.

He said: “The toilets at The Posset Cup 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.”
