AN ANDOVER pub has won acclaim for the quality and standards of its toilets – in the Loo of the Year Awards 2023.
The John Russell Fox, 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.
