This is a Wetherspoons so you pretty much know what it's about... cheap and cheerful. The venue is mostly on one floor, with level access from the street. However, as is standard with the chain, the main toilets are upstairs. There is an accessible toilet on the ground floor. It's well laid out, although certain areas don't have quite enough room between tables to manoeuvre a wheelchair easily. I would say that all areas are accessible; you just have to find the right aisle to go down. We ordered via the app, which I already have downloaded, and is easy to navigate and place your order. Service was really quick. We both had burgers and a couple of extra sides which were all pretty good and well-cooked. There was a wide selection of drinks, including heavy (80/-) which I've not seen in other Wetherspoons. I'd definitely recommend this place. Yes, it's a standard 'Spoons but it's one of the better ones I've been in and, at the very least, at least you know what you're getting.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
The main door is level access and step-free. Once inside everything (bar the main toilets) is on one level. Some aisles between the tables aren't as wide as would be ideal but still manageable.
Accessible facilities: Single-level venue, Step-free entrance
Parking & Transport
Poor
I travelled to this place by personal vehicle
There is no nearby public parking although there is a drop-off point outside the Travelodge next door. Otherwise, it's a bit of a trek from even the nearest car park.
Accessible facilities: Drop-off or pick up point
Accessible Toilets
Average
It's a well-known fact that Wetherspoons' toilets are often quite a trek from the main bar and the aid of a Sherpa is often required. I therefore think it's great that this Wetherspoons has tried to give us disabled people a similar experience... Don't get me wrong, the accessible toilet is on the ground floor, a decent size and has the standard set-up of grab-rails. But they've installed a couple of obstacles to overcome. Inside, there's a baby nappy-changing bench which will not stay upright, making for quite the challenge for anyone in a wheelchair (as can be seen in the photo). Secondly, the red cord was tied to (yes, tied, not just wrapped around) the drop-down support, which meant I had to untie it to lower the rail. Double strike... The toilet is also locked, presumably and commendably to prevent misuse. Staff came with a key but it was a Radar-key so I guess I would have been able to use my own key had I needed.

Staff
Good
Most staff were friendly and helpful, particularly the guy who let me into the toilet. One or two should have practiced how to smile a bit more but they didn't really detract from the evening.
