Overall Rating
Excellent
Pub 2 of the first day of my accessibility pub crawl in Broughty Ferry. Has a lovely hidden outdoor seating area and is a busy pub on a Friday and Saturday night with great music.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
It is level access to get into this pub however, the entrance has a little steep ramp to get up. There is also a small bump at the top of ramp which my wheels sometimes get stuck on. When I leave I always need someone to hold my chest when I go down the ramp because I don’t have much upper body strength. Inside it is very spacious, and I was able to easily get to the tables, although on a busy night it can be hard to get a table and sometimes I have to sit at the bar. All tables are at appropriate height for wheelchairs and although the tables are mainly booths, there’s still plenty of room to get in with being in a wheelchair. The seating area outside is also very spacious, however the area to get out is quite narrow and if the pub was busy I wouldn’t be able to get past.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
A council car park with disabled spaces is a few buildings down, as well as other car parks/on street parking close by 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
Excellent
There is a disabled toilet in this pub and it is spacious for a wheelchair and if they need assistance also but, there is no changing place toilet though. 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
Excellent
When I visited two staff members, Jenny and Tash, who were very friendly and helpful by moving chairs to allow us to sit outside.
