No access for wheelchair users

Overview
This is a pub in the Strand, on the very edge of Covent Garden. There is a big step at each of the two entrances. There is no ramp available. I was not able to get inside.
Transport & Parking
The Strand is served by many bus routes. There are no step-free tube stations near by. Charing Cross National Rail station is very near by, where you can get assistance boarding/alighting trains by means of manual boarding ramps.
Access
Because of the big step at both entrances I was unable to get inside the pub. There was no ramp available.
Toilets
I don't know about the toilet arrangements because I was not able to get inside the premises.
Staff
The staff were friendly and regretted the lack of accessibility. This was no comfort.
Anything else you wish to tell us?
This business is missing out on the money wheelchair users could be spending there simply because they don't want to buy a cheap, portable, aluminium ramp which could give easy access to the premises. This is a short-sighted false economy, and is not compliant with the Equality Act 2010.
