Overall Rating
Excellent
Pub 6 of the second day of my accessibility pub crawl in Broughty Ferry. Jolly’s is a great bar for affordable food and drinks.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
There is level access into Jolly’s Wetherspoons, there are 2 sets of double doors to enter though which I need help with as they are not automatic, and they are quite heavy. When I visited the doors were left open as it was quite a warm day. Inside there are 2 seating areas, both are quite spacious but can be harder to get through when it is busy. Most of the tables are at wheelchair height and it is easy enough to get to the bar in a wheelchair because there no tables or chairs in the way.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
There are council car parks/on street parking across the road and taxi rank is also nearby. There are also plenty of buses that pass through Broughty Ferry on regular basis. A train station is also situated in Broughty Ferry although I don’t know anything about how often they stop, I know it’s not that much though.
Accessible Toilets
Good
There is a disabled toilet within Jolly’s that is accessed by a RADAR key however, I did not see it when I was there. They do not have a changing place toilet though, there is one down at the beach in Broughty Ferry there is a changing place although. It is only open till 5pm in the Summer and 3:30pm in the Winter.
Staff
Average
I did not interact with any staff when I visited this pub as it was very busy and someone else went to the bar, although during previous visits staff have been nice.
