PUB licensee Lorraine Phipps is flushed with success after scooping an award for top toilets.

The lovely loos at The Lamb Inn on Hospital Street in Nantwich have won Lorraine the Plush Flush award for the smartest toilets around.

And Lorraine is very proud of the fact that the rest of the pub is kept spick and span.

"It's really important to me to keep my pub immaculate all of the time," she said.

"I'm up and busy cleaning every morning before the pub opens. My secret is fresh flowers, I put them everywhere. It's a lovely little touch and it shows you really care about your pub.

"I want my customers to be able to relax in a nice atmosphere and I do everything possible to make sure they do."

Lorraine won a framed certificate from Inn Partnership and £50 worth of gift vouchers.
