Reasonable access for retroconverted building

Date of visit: August 2021
I have experience of challenges around: hearing and moving around.
Overall Rating
Good
Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and had evidently gone to some effort to convert the building for physical access, with some imagination and reasonable success. Not 100% accessible but they have put considerable effort into making it as accessible as possible.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
There's a really decent permanent ramp outside. In the restaurant itself, there's a long, central aisle which is ramped, quite steeply, though with breaks in the slope. There's tables to either side; some areas are accessible and some aren't, because of the interface with the sloped aisle. It is all on one level, no induction loops, no alternative formats.
Parking & Transport
0There's no parking, disabled or otherwise, but there's parking in Ripon. Finding the nearest drop kerb is a chore.
Accessible Toilets
Good
Reasonably roomy disabled toilet, at the back and with space to manoeuvre, but with some form of obstruction in the transfer space. Clean and tidy and space for a carer.
Staff
Excellent
Very welcoming and helpful.
Additional Information
Would definitely recommend it.
