Rules restaurant in Covent Garden serves “classic game cookery, oysters, pies and puddings”. It’s on the ground floor which they say is accessible. I went years ago and I remember the food was good. The Cocktail Bar (Upstairs at Rules) is meant to be one of the best bars in London, hence the reason for the review, however it’s NOT accessible – there are stairs with 20+ steps. The toilets are on the upper floor as well, so no wheelchair accessible facility.

The stairs to the bar!

The oldest British restaurant doesn’t really cater for disability.  The restaurant would be ok but that’s not where I want to go.

BTW you can’t wear shorts – they will refuse you entry! Even if they’re Chanel ones??

Due to the access and lack of toilet facilities we can only award Rules 1.5 BBS Ticks. Would love to give more and maybe there are things they can do – a BBS Audit is needed!?
