We always make a beeline for Nardini At The Moorings when we're in the area, especially for their breakfasts. These were our first visits since I've been in a wheelchair. As mentioned, the breakfast alone is worth a visit, perfectly cooked to order and comes inclusive of orange juice, tea or coffee, and toast, so very reasonable. The coffee, in particular, is excellent. Other things on the menu that we specifically enjoyed this time round were the to-die-for cheese and bacon burger, and the spaghetti bolognaise, not to mention some of the best chips I've ever tasted. Incidentally the walls inside are festooned with some fascinating photos indicative of the history of the place. I really cannot recommend Nardini's at the Moorings enough... fantastic food and lovely staff in a lovely, historic, setting.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
The café is fully wheelchair accessible and all tables, including those along the banquette, have at least some movable seating and are a good height to get my chair right under. Some tables are quite close together, making it a bit of a squeeze but not impossible to negotiate.
Parking & Transport
Good
There is some on-street parking nearby, with some dedicated disabled spaces. There is a large car park on the promenade, which is chargeable, even for Blue Badge holders.
Accessible Toilets
Good
There are two single cubicle toilets, arbitrarily assigned as male and female. The female one is larger and designated as accessible and is kitted out with just a couple of grab rails, not the full complement. I managed fine but some may struggle.
Facilities: Accessible toilet
Staff
Excellent
Staff, without exception, are friendly and most helpful, moving furniture and opening doors without being asked.
