Overall Rating
Excellent
A wheelchair accessible restaurant with amazing fresh food and fabulously friendly staff.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
There is a concrete mound type ramp at the front door providing easy access and a ramp around the inside left to the main restaurant area which can also be accessed by a few steps immediately in front of the main entrance. There are grab rails/bannisters. There is no automatic door but the staff are very helpful. The floor (and ramp) is a hard tiled surface which may be a slight problem for those using crutches or sticks when it's damp but is excellent for wheelchair users as it is extremely easy to manouvre on the smooth surface. Like most restaurants the level of lighting is quite ambient and low which isn't ideal for some people with certain visual impairments, although I am certain staff would assist. Over all it was an amazing dining experience. The food is excellent. You can see it being freshly prepared in the kitchen as you wait. Water is served from beautiful ornate jugs to be enjoyed from matching goblets (or a glass if the goblet is too heavy). There is a fantastic choice of dishes and everything we ate was absolutely delicious. The prices are decent too. There is an accessible toilet. The bill can be paid by a portable card machine that is light and easy to press the buttons on. No annoying wire pulling at your arms or super strength required to enter your pin. We will definitely be back!
Parking & Transport
Average
There is on street parking and accidentally lowered (collapsed) kerbs with a very small parking area at the side. There are buses that go that way too as its not far from the health centre or braehead shopping centre but I can't comment on their reliability as I can't use public transport myself.
Accessible Toilets
Good
Very good sized accessible loo but you'll probably have to ask someone to move the baby changing unit before you can use it.
Staff
Excellent
Brilliant. We visited on Christmas day so they were absolutely rushed off their feet but apart from a bit of a wait for a coffee to be brought over we couldn't fault them. They explained things clearly and made our Christmas very special.
Additional Information
I would definitely go again. I lifted a couple of menu leaflets on the way out the door to share with friends. Definitely highly recommend Green gates for great food and very good access. An automatic door would be the icing on the cake. Lovely place to eat.
