Excellent for wheelchair users but some toilet problems to sort out

Date of visit: July 2022

I am a disabled person. I have experience of challenges around: accessing toilets and moving around.

I use or have experience of: disabled toilet

Accessible toilet cubicle, with a table obstructing the wheelchair transfer area and a red emergency cord much too short

Part of the interior of the restaurant - tables, chairs, windows, a gigantic anglepoise lamp

Overall Rating

Good

A delightful Italian restaurant, perfect step-free access throughout, a lovely outdoor terrace, superb food, adorable staff, and a few toilet problems

Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

Step-free entrance, a spacious restaurant with plenty of room to manoeuvre, and a lovely outdoor terrace for visits during warmer weather.

Parking & Transport

Excellent

This restaurant is a few hundred yards from South Quay Docklands Light Railway Station, which - like all DLR stations - is step-free from train to street.

Accessible Toilets

Average

There is a spacious accessible toilet which could be so good if only these two problems could be sorted out: - There is a table in the wheelchair transfer area. See my picture below. This area is NOT storage space or space for furniture, it must be kept free of obstructions so that the wheelchair user can park next to the toilet and transfer sideways from the wheelchair to the toilet seat. - The red emergency cord does not hang all the way down to the floor. It is essential that is should reach all the way to the floor so that a wheelchair user can reach it in the event of falling over and needing to summon help. See my picture below. This toilet is the only thing which prevents the restaurant getting a five-star review in every cateogory!
