The Rumblin' Tum cafe in Ardrishaig is a lovely little cafe and I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. It's right in the centre of Ardrishaig on the A83, amongst the shops and just before you reach the Crinan canal sea loch(onto Loch Fyne). The Rumblin' Tum is really accessible as the entrance is flat from the street. There's 2 car parks almost opposite the cafe with 3 disabled spaces in one of the car parks and also at least 1 disabled space in the other. The car park is free & you use your disabled badge in your car whilst using the disabled bays. When we visited the tables nearest the counter were available but I would advise to phone up to book one of these tables if you are in a wheelchair cause I wouldn't have been able to easily get to any other tables (without asking other people to stand up and move their tables/chairs) due to the space. The staff are friendly and moved the chairs so that I could have a space for me & my wheelchair at the table. The meals are very well priced especially for the area & portions are really big! First time we visited I ordered a sandwich & salad plus a side(bowl) of chips & curry sauce although I should have just got it as a small side! The second time I visited I ordered the chicken burger & chips. Plus I ordered a coffee & walnut cake to takeaway. Both times the food was delicious! And it was only about 10 minutes for the food to be served and it wasn't too quiet either. If you don't wish to eat in you can order to takeaway! There aren't any disabled toilets in the cafe but there are public toilets right next to the car park, almost opposite the cafe (opposite the McColl's shop); there is one disabled toilet accessed using a radar key(I bought mine from my local council). Hope this review helps.

Good
The entrance is flat from the street.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
There's at least 4 disabled parking bays between the two car parks opposite the Rumblin' Tum cafe. The bus stop going both ways(towards Tarbert & the other heading towards Lochgilphead); heading towards Tarbert the bus stop is right infront of the car park and the other heading to Lochgilphead is almost opposite. I'm not sure on how often the buses run here as I did not use a bus to get there.
Accessible Toilets
Average
Public(radar key) disabled toilet right next to the car park. The toilet is kept ok but is a little run down. The Rumblin' Tum doesn't have a disabled toilet.
