    Good

    I love an unexpected coffee spot and Coffee Inc is just that. Coffee Inc is a converted horse box that has all the brews and bakes your heart could desire. What drew me to this location was the large Wheel of Caffeine just outside, a sandwich board with a spinning arm that makes choosing your drink fun – or a bit humiliating if it lands on dance for a free coffee. Such a quirky idea.

    The first point to highlight is that the window on the horse box is pretty high up. I was able to speak with the staff from my wheelchair, who were happy to bring the car reader to me and bring a drink to my table - rather than have me stretch up. There are two small tables nearby, with light metal folding chairs that can be easily moved. You of course have the option to take away a coffee, cake or criossant if you so desire. Signage is about as clear as needed for a coffee kiosk. There are no alternative formats in use.

    Accessible facilities: Single-level venue

    I travelled to this place by personal vehicle

    There are some on-street parking spaces along the High Street. These are long side-on bays that can accommodate multiple cars though there are no accessible parking space. I parked to the rear of one of these bays to make sure there was enough room to get my wheelchair out of the boot and to feel confident that I was not going to be blocked in. Further down the street there is a Co-op supermarket which has two accessible parking spaces. There is also a bus stop nearby.

    Accessible facilities: Public or on street parking

    Accessible Toilets

    There is a public toilet nearby, but I wouldn't recommend it.
