A good place to eat, one big gripe about the toilet

This review is especially helpful for those who have or use the following: Powerchair

Overview

Easyish to get into, good toilet (BUT see below), slightly difficult to find a comfortable spot to eat.

Transport & Parking

3

Several bus routes will drop you off nearby but there are no step-free stations in the vicinity.

Access

4

There is a ramp to the front door. The ramp is of a solid stone construction and is rather steep. Not horribly or impossibly steep, but a bit of an effort in a manual wheelchair and it could be a bit of a skid if you come down it in the rain. The front door is a bit heavy but there are always people who jump out of nowhere to help. The café is small and it can be quite difficult and awkward to find a comfortable place to park in your wheelchair for a nice relaxed snack or drink, because the tables and seating are quite crammed together.

Toilets

2

An excellent accessible toilet, but one thing really spoils it: the red emergency cord has been tied up so that it ends well over a metre above floor level. Anyone who falls out of their wheelchair (not unusual when transferring to a toilet) will be left stranded with no means of summoning assistance. I'm subtracting three stars for this because it's really dreadfully ignorant and dangerous to hang the cord so high.

Staff

4

Wonderfully friendly and helpful in every way. One star subtracted for not having the sense to provide and maintain a suitable emergency cord in the toilet.
