Overview

It's a converted warehouse with concrete floor. The main entrance is stepped so use the Exit to enter as it's on the level. There is an accessible toilet but I had to wait as staff were using it. The door is hard to pull closed and could do with a bar or swing close hinge. The food and drink bars are all accessible but I found I could only go the long way round the edges, periphery of the building. There's not enough spaces between tables for wheelchair access. I only had one or two routes of access. The majority of tables are benches so you need to pre book or go early for a regular table. I would not be able to get to many tables as there was not enough space. The staff asked for the table back even though other tables were empty and this stressed me out as it was only one of a few tables wheelchair accessible. I would not recommend for hard if hearing. It's a very noisy venue as the sound reverberates and echos. I could hardly hear my friends. You can't order food to the table, you have to go up. I was glad I was in a wheelchair and that I didn't have to keep getting up and down. No coffee or hot drinks avaikable, despite being advertised as a family friendly venue. Not everyone wants alcohol. Plenty of dogs there which cheered me up talking to them. It was fine but the cons outweighed the pros. I would not choose again for myself.

Accessible as a minimum but not great. Toilet could be better. Space between tables an issue. Pre booking of wheelchair accessible seating would be good.

Toilets

2

Staff were using. Smelt of urine and did not smell clean. Was hard to get in and hard to close the door. Needs a pull bar on door with spring hinge on door. The door swings away from you so is hard to reach in a chair.

Staff

Didn't find the table staff friendly. They wanted to move me off one of the only wheelchair accessible tables. The table they asked me to move to, I could not get there in a wheelchair as the other benches were too close. I could not fit.
