I was initially lured in by the promise of a pub cat - hurrah! He did materialise, but appeared to be a bit camera-shy - boo. (Well, for me, anyway. See Exhibit B)
Anyway - the loos:
In some ways pretty bog standard (scuse pun) but in some ways a little bit quirky:
Exhibit A: Random plant/ decoration explosion:
And Exhibit B: Framed picture of pub cat: (ahhhhh)
So, not quite as average as it at first seems ...
Decor: 6/10
- A bit dull. Points for random plant/tinsel effort though. Not particularly stylish, but at least someone cares about making an effort.
Cleanliness: 7/10
- A few stray bits of toilet roll, but nothing untoward
Ambience: 7/10
- Without the pictures (particularly cat) and plant fest this would be particularly nothingy. However, someone cares. And someone thinks it would be nice for us to look at pictures of some framed moggy whilst going about our private business. So I respect that.
Lighting: 4/10
-A bit harsh and white and doctors' surgery-like for me. At least you can see yourselves in the mirrors though ...
Stay and Play?: 6/10
- Hmmm maybe. If you don't mind having a cat staring down at you while you discuss your deepest, darkest secrets. It's quite small and oddly shaped, so one of the conversationalists may have to flatten themselves around the curved wall in order to be able to talk whilst still allowing people through. Enjoy that someone has thought about this place though. Most real ale pubs aren't aware that females exist. Or that we have standards..
Reccomendations:
- Make more of the quirkiness. The cat pic is genius and they could do more tongue-in-cheek stuff here I think.

Glad to see your photos in the "flesh", having been there with you on one of the nights. For me these loos had the feel of "fitted by a man, kitted out by a woman" to me.
Perhaps that's their tag line:
'Toilets At The Wellington
- Fitted by a man, kitted out by a woman'
It's kind of snappy.
Actually, maybe I should think of tag lines for all these toilets ... Oooohhhh ideas!
Have you come across any loos featuring the new Dyson handryer? They are fantastic! I found one in an a craggy old pub in Cumbria (quite a surprise as the pub looked like it needed closing down, yet they had invested in super-duper driers).
