THREE Wetherspoon pubs in the York and Selby area have won the highest possible rating for their toilets in the Loo of the Year Awards 2017.

York’s Postern Gate in Piccadilly and Punchbowl in Blossom Street, and The Giant Bellflower in Gowthorpe, Selby, have all been awarded a platinum star by inspectors - given only for “exceptional toilets’ - after being judged against criteria including décor, maintenance, cleanliness and accessibility.
