Local restaurant recognised for high quality washroom facilities at prestigious awards

McDonald’s restaurant at Boucher Road has been awarded Platinum at the annual independent Loo of the Year awards – dubbed the ‘Toilet Oscars’ – which recognises and rewards the best washrooms across the UK.

Franchisee Paul Connan, and crew scooped up the ‘Platinum Award’ for the quality of the toilet facilities at the restaurant on Boucher Road. The awards were judged on a wide range of criteria including cleanliness and hygiene, fixtures and fittings, air quality and décor.

Introduced in 1987, and promoted by the British Toilet Association, the awards aim to encourage the highest standards in ‘away from home’ toilets across the UK.

Loo of the Year contenders, with the owner’s or manager’s permission, can be nominated by anyone: staff, customers, visitors, managers, owners or contractors. Following nomination, the entries are critiqued and receive a grading ranging from Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum following an unannounced visit from an independent Loo of the Year Awards inspector.

Paul, who owns and operates five restaurants across Northern Ireland, commented: “I am proud to maintain excellent services for our customers at the Boucher Road restaurant. My staff and I are committed to offering our customers the best experience possible, and upholding the standards of our bathrooms is part of that. It’s great to be recognised for our hard work!’
