Overall Rating
Good
The Fountain is located just opposite the fountain park complex and so is a great place to grab a bite to eat before/after the cinema or bowling. There are two entrances to the pub, the one on the right hand side is the accessible (near Murdoch terrace) one.
Disabled Access In and Around
Average
There are two entrances, the entrance around the side is the level access entrance and leads you straight into the bar area. The entrance at the front has one step into the pub. Once inside there is a range of seating at different heights in the bar area, including 'relaxed' seating where there is a sofa and coffee table. The seats are mostly movable and so it's easy for wheelchair access. It is normally a bar service which doesn't have a dropped counter but the staff are usually very helpful and I'm sure would provide a table service if needed. The restaurant is up three stairs however it's okay to order food in the bar area if required, the staff are generally very helpful. There is also seating at the entrance level near to the restaurant so you can still get the buzz from the restaurant area (and possibly some peace and quiet from the bar!).
Parking & Transport
Excellent
There are a range of buses that stop very close by due to it being opposite the cinema complex, so there are good connections with the city centre. There is a range of on street parking available as its a largely residential area and the Fountain Park complex has its own underground parking with disabled parking bays.
Accessible Toilets
Average
There is an accessible toilet between the bar and restaurant (it's also the baby changing facility). I didn't use the toilet so not able to report on what it's like inside.
Staff
Excellent
Really helpful and friendly!
Additional Information
The bar can get really busy especially at weekends and in the evenings (or when there is a big film release out) so it's worth calling in advance to book.
