Accessibility

Accessibility

We welcome all guests and are committed to being as inclusive as possible within the physical limitations of our building.

Please note:

  • There is one step into the dining room

  • There is one step leading to the bathroom

Due to the narrow pavement outside and the internal configuration of the premises, it is unfortunately not possible to install a wheelchair ramp or provide an accessible bathroom. These limitations are structural and cannot be addressed without major redevelopment.

Our team is always happy to assist guests with mobility needs. If you require help entering the restaurant, please let us know when booking, or call us on arrival and a member of staff will be on hand to help.

If you have any questions or suggestions regarding accessibility, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

We do not have space to store wet or large items (except mobility devices). Thank you.
