The judges marked from zero to a maximum five stars; 104 Wetherspoon pubs received the maximum five stars and 40 received four stars.

Wetherspoon head of property and acquisitions, Jon Randall, said: "We are thrilled to have won so many plaudits in the Loo of the Year Awards 2009.

"Our staff maintain their pub toilets to the highest standards at all times and this is reflected in the judges inspections. We will continue to provide our customers with the best loos at all times."

The pub chain also won the accolade in 2008.
