Overview

Great bar and restaurant that is level access and spacious enough for wheelchair users.

Transport & Parking

When I visited I took my car but didn’t know if Kilted Kangaroo had a car park and I wasn’t very familiar with where any parking spaces were. We drove around and found onstreet disabled parking spaces down a side street so decided to park there. As we walked towards the restaurant I noticed there was a walkway across the road leading towards a car par but, couldn’t see where the entrance was for cars. You walk down an ally way to get to the restaurant and as we did I noticed there were cars outside the entrance. I don’t know how they got into the area and there didn’t look like there was a lot of turning space. I am not from Stirling so I can’t comment too much on the public transport however, I did see buses drive up the high street road where the restaurant is located so I’m guessing there are bus stops nearby. The train station and bus station is roughly a 15-minute walk away. It’s quite a narrow and busy high street so I can image it could be a little difficult for a taxi driver to park right outside.

Access

There are two doors to go into Kilted Kangaroo, one leading straight to the bar and the other to a seating area. All areas are connected together once in though so, it doesn’t really matter what doorway you use. Due to attending an organised Euan’s Guide event we had a whole are hired out so, I don’t know if the tables are always laid out the way they were. We sat at long tables that were at a perfect hight for wheelchair users however, there wasn’t much room behind me for people to get pasted. There were booths behind me which looked like they would be accessible for wheelchair users but, it would depend on each individual persons footplates because the legs of the tables were in the center (see image below). Within the other area of the restaurant the tables looked like they were fairly spaced out however, I can’t 100% comment on it because I didn’t drive around that area. The bar area quite spacious to drive through but, I can imagine it would be quite difficult if it was busier (see image below). I did see that there was a beer garden outside but, didn’t see how you entered it. I think you had to go around the other tables.

Toilets

The accessible toilet was just big enough for a wheelchair user and someone to assist them. It didn’t have an emergency red cord though which are very important and it could do with a little bit of a freshen up, a lick of paint or something. Wheelchair users would only be able to transfer from the left-hand side of the toilet. There is no Changing Places toilet here. The closest one is roughly a 9-minute drive away in the Macrobert Art Centre.

Staff

All staff that I interacted with were very friendly and helpful. My friends son was with us and a staff member game him an activity sheet to keep him occupied without us asking.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

I noticed they have a function suite but, I think that might be upstairs and I didn’t see a lift.
