An Aberdare pub has won acclaim for the quality and standards of its toilets – in the Loo of the Year Awards 2023.
Yr Ieuan Ap Iago in High Street has been awarded a platinum 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 unannounced visits to thousands of toilets at sites across the
UK, in order to judge them.
All of the toilets are graded silver, gold, platinum, platinum plus or diamond with unacceptable toilets
not graded at all.
The toilets are judged against numerous criteria, including décor and maintenance, cleanliness,
accessibility, hand washing and drying equipment and overall management.
Yr Ieuan Ap Iago, a Wetherspoon pub, is managed by Jack Davies.
Jack 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 Yr Ieuan Ap
Iago have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained.
“The pub deserves its platinum award.”
