No. 1 Duke St. fills a gap in Richmond as it’s not ‘high end’ restaurant and not a ubiquitous adolescent filled pub. It’s in between the two, a… “neighbourhood bar and restaurant with a contemporary interior providing the perfect back drop for relaxed eating and drinking.” Open all day it attracts all age groups. We’ve…
The Curzon Richmond has become home for the BBS Film Club. The last Thursday of every month we meet and see a film chosen by a member in rotation. So far we’ve been to three films at this cinema and each time we’ve been welcomed by very helpful staff. Parking in Water Lane, for drop…
June 2016: Here’s what Soho House Berlin say about access: “The public areas including club and rooftop restaurant are fully wheelchair accessible, we also have a fully accessible handicapped toilet on the club floor ………. Our rooms are also accessible (no steps etc.) but we do not offer special handicapped rooms e.g. with special toilets or…
Update July 2016: Lurra is great food especially the grilled octopus but avoid eating the head, as I did, not a delicacy! The very pleasant waiter said I was brave – he didn’t know I did it by accident. The wine is good and reasonably priced we had the Prineous at £22. The other dishes…
We’ve already visited two of Angela Hartnett’s Italian empire restaurants, Cafe Murano Covent Garden and the original Murano restaurant in Mayfair. They were awarded 2 and 3 BBS Ticks respectively; Covent Garden has the now infamous disabled toilet that can’t get a wheelchair through its door! Nevertheless the food is wonderful at both. To complete the collection…
Last week was my annual holiday with my family and friends, 11 of us stayed in the luxury villa, Can-Morna, in San Carles, Ibiza and originally it was not adapted for wheelchair use although it was all on one level. The owners however couldn’t have been more accommodating and even adapted the wet room by…
We haven’t been to The Clove Club yet but we intend to. They’ve won many awards including 6th place in the National Restaurant Awards 2016 and highest new entry at no. 26 in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. They’ve also got Michelin Star where they say, ‘The set menu showcases expertly sourced produce in dishes that are…
The George is an (apparently) English themed hotel in Hamburg. It’s a member of Design Hotels so it must be very trendy. The English theme involves the hotel being decorated to make the guests feel like they are in an ‘English-style country house’. Unfortunately, we’ve yet to visit the hotel ourselves, so we can neither…
Update June 2016: M is most definitely accessible. There’s a lift down to the restaurant and bar and the flooring is completely smooth. The food is great (the Kangaroo tartare was different but the dried venison meat is superb) and the atmosphere is fabulous. Buzzy yet able to hear what my companion said. The wine…
