Accessibility details

Our restaurant is fully accessible for wheelchair users, however as the building is Grade II listed, we have regretfully been unable to adapt our toilet facilities - the doorway to the toilets are wheelchair accessible, but standard wheelchairs are likely to struggle to access the individual toilet cubicles.
