Overview
With travel restrictions easing and my grumpiness increasing, my wife though we ought to get out somewhere. Although we had previously visited the Jim Clark museum in Duns, we hadn't been to the Cafe. The cafe has seating outside and inside it is on 2 levels. Should you require to be seated in the lower level, it is recommended to phone prior to your visit ( 01361 884517) or email them at info@jimclarkcafebistro.com to reserve a table. We did this and it worked out perfectly, There was street parking available just across from the cafe, although this can be hit or miss as with all street parking. We were warmly greeted by a member of staff and soon served up with lovely Iced coffees and scones. Although we didn't want such, there was a wide selection of meals on offer. Whilst I did not use the toilets, I have been told that the ladies one is big enough for a wheelchair to access it.
Transport & Parking
There are quite a few on street parking around 50 yards from the cafe. With it being on street, it can be busy . There is other parking in the square if the nearby ones are full. The pavements in the area all have drop down kerbs making wheelchair access much easier
Access
The cafe had outside seating (weather dependent) and a number of tables inside at the lower level. Contact them on (01361 884517 or email them at info@jimclarkcafebistro.com to reserve an inside table.
Toilets
I did not use the toilets but have been told that the ladies one is big enough to accommodate a wheelchair. No mention was made of Grab rails and I forgot to ask!
Staff
When we got to the door, we were met but a really pleasant member of staff who remembered our names from the phone reservation made. We were given the option of two tables, with seats moved to maker a table for four become a one for two, with my power chair easily accommodated
Anything else you wish to tell us?
Hand Sanitizer 'pumps' were available at the entrance to the cafe and the door to the toilets. It was obvious that our table hand recently been cleaned and staff were wearing face masks
