Maitreya Social

Fab food & lovely, accommodating staff but hampered in it's ability to accommodate wheelchair users. The level access side door is very narrow & often has a car parked, half on the pavement, preventing powerchair users gaining access. It doesn't help that the door is usually blocked on the inside by the positioning of tables. Whilst theyre happy to move things around, it means it looks as though the door's not in use. Indeed, if you turn up 'on spec', the door will be locked & blocked. They'll happily unlock it but you have to attract their attention (from outside)before this can happen. Once inside the tables are too low for the majority of electric wheelchair users to get their legs under and the loo is problematic. Aside from spare chairs being stacked by the door it is a struggle to manoeuvre a powerchair in & out of it. A shame as staff attitude is great & small budget plus a little re-arranging would sort most of this out. Come on guys, you can do it!

The restaurant is accessible via a side door which is level access. Staff are helpful and using the side door is not demeaning as it looks like the normal access.
