I am a carer or friend of a disabled person. I have experience of challenges around: accessing toilets, hearing and moving around.
I use or have experience of: changing places toilet, disabled toilet, hearing aid or cochlear implant, walking aid, wheelchair
Overall Rating
Excellent
Usual Wetherspoons fare and, as is normally the case, you can rely on the access and the toilet being disabled friendly.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
There are two sets of doors but both are quite light and wide enough for a wheelchair without having to open the double doors. The outer doors have hooks to hold them open though one was broken. There is a seating area at the front with level access and two other areas up a few steps. The seating area near the bar is up three steps which are clearly marked with colour contrast and there is also wheelchair lift. Most of the surface is carpet but it is not too thick to wheel a chair on.
Parking & Transport
Good
Hunters Hall does not have its own car park but there is some on street parking (time limited except for Sundays) and a large tarmac public car park across the road behind Iceland - see last picture.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
The toilet is in the level seating area just opposite the door. It was open when we were there in late afternoon but has a RADAR lock. There is a horizontal rail on one side and a drop-down rail on the other. The red cord goes to the floor. There are no grips beside the wash basin
Staff
Excellent
Very efficient and pleasant. They cleared tables promptly.
Additional Information
The pub is a couple of minutes level walk/wheel from The Great Tapestry of Scotland. Others have reviewed it and it lives up to the glowing reviews. Hunters Hall is perhaps a bit tired looking but accessibility is the key feature for us. We'd go again.
