Went to Rock & Rose in Richmond last month and as soon as they saw me coming they got the ramp out and a glass of champagne! Great place for a casual lunch or a more formal occasion. Particularly like the Cecil Beaton Rose wallpaper. Very helpful staff but quite a full restaurant so try…
Rivington Shoreditch is another brasserie owned by Caprice Holdings. The food is OK but I would only go there for a drink, it can be quite a lively bar. It’s easy to get to the bar but there are two steps into the restaurant and no ramp… There is no disabled toilet and steps up…
Roast is a restaurant in Borough Market on the first floor of Floral Hall, don’t panic! There is a lift to get you up there! Once you get up there, they have a disabled toilet and although there are steps inside they are easily avoidable and you can be seated without having to tackle the…
As we’ve mentioned ad infinitum we were at The Pitch 2013 last week in Bristol, to get investment for BBS, fingers crossed. As a result we awarded some places BBS Ticks of recommendation. Theses are based on accessibility, facilities & of course style (see here for a full explanation of the Rating System). They all…
The Rivington Greenwich is part of Caprice Holdings and is based in the heart of Greenwich. It offers “the best Modern English food sourced from the UK and Ireland.” We haven’t audited the Rivington Greenwich yet but we called them and they explained there are 3 sections to the restaurant: The mezzanine which has steps…

Nevertheless we thought we’d take a look at the top restaurants and assess their accessibility. First up is The French & Mr…
I last went to The River Cafe in Hammersmith some years ago when I walked with a stick . All I remembered were some cobbled pavements and the lack of a parking space. This time I went by taxi in my wheelchair and was accompanied by Lieutenant No1. I had told them about my chair…
The Riding House Cafe in Gt. Titchfield St., was the venue last night. I went with Lieutenants 2 & 3. Lieutenant 3 is the film director for my videos – coming soon to You Tube. As always I asked about accessibility on booking, there were no surprises. I was warned of the step to get…
Amsterdam; city of style, great people and freedom… shame about the disabled access! All the streets in the main city area are cobbled and the road system of cars/buses/trams/motorbikes/scooters/bikes is bewildering. They come at you from all directions! It doesn’t help that when you decide to place yourself in a restaurant away from the chaos…
