Gert & Henry's Traditional Pub
Gert & Henry's is a traditional pub in the Street Food Market just off The Shambles in York city centre. The manual door is perfectly level & wide enough to accommodate my wheelchair (read: my large butt). Staff will greet you at the door & show you to one of the three accessible tables; two are in alcoves with space for one wheelchair on the end, & one is up against a wall. All other tables have several steps up to them. The restaurant is table service, & the till to pay is in the wheelchair accessible area, so this doesn't particularly matter. Staff are very friendly & accommodating, were completely un-fussed by the wheelchair, & I got the very rare experience of being able to eat & drink in a traditional pub.
There is actually a full adult changing room available around the corner, & unlike the normal-people toilets you don't have to pay to pee.
Do not do the Shambles from a wheelchair unless you have strong teeth & a good bra (if that applies).
