    Excellent

    Samuel Jones is a large pub/restaurant with a varied menu and an excellent range of ales on tap. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming and aware of the importance of making their pub accessible and enjoyable for all. There is street level access to the pub, as well as a wide ramp if approaching from the river side. Whilst some seating is up a few steps, there are various seating areas to choose from that enable wheelchair access. The toilet facilities are spacious and clean. A great place to while away an afternoon in the sunshine on the terrace, or enjoy a celebratory meal or a few drinks in the evening.

    Good

    The venue is easily accessible for wheelchair users, with ramp access from the riverside or street level access at the front. The bar is quite high, so not possible to see over, but staff are friendly and keen to help.
