    The staff here were helpful, however the access to toilets, and tables were poorly designed.

    Good

    Wheelchair entry into the pub is reasonable, although the door is rather heavy. There are two seating areas accessible to people with mobility impairments - one in group of tables in front of the bar, and one via a ramp. However, all the tables in these areas have legs placed such that I could not position myself under the table, ie either a single central leg, or the legs just being too close together. While the food was good, the table design led to me spilling food up myself.

    The door is a good weight, however the internal lock is placed too high for most wheelchair users to reach, especially for those who cannot raise their arms much, as in my case. The lock position meant that my boyfriend had to wait outside to make sure noone intruded.

    Excellent

    The staff were very helpful, and offered to carry my drinks from the bar to the table.
