Bentley’s is a favourite place as it has a lively atmosphere and as you would expect from a Richard Corrigan venue, excellent food. I don’t like oysters but the smoked salmon is exceptional as is the rest of the menu. It is very much a bar but there are tables to sit at and there…
Benares is a modern Michelin starred British Indian restaurant and bar. They are located in Berkeley Square House and there is access via a lift. They have informed me that there is a disabled toilet. As you can tell I haven’t been there yet but the food sounds exceptional. So if anyone reads this and has been,…
Bar Eclipse is an old haunt I used when I walked with sticks but it is also wheelchair friendly as it’s at street level. They have a disabled toilet and there is a disabled parking space nearby. For summer evenings there is a retractable roof – what …?! Great atmosphere, location and cocktails. Bar Eclipse…
Update Feb 2013: Bank in Birmingham is fully accessible and has a disabled toilet. Looks good but haven’t been yet. They get 2.5 Provisional BBS Ticks.

Lieutenant No1 and I went the Oval last year , it rained but it was enjoyable nonetheless as we sat in the wheelchair enclosure at the Vauxhall End – I think?! It was very clean and access via the Alex Stewart Gate is easy. If you call in advance they can get you parking. The…
I have been meaning to write about the Prince Alfred as I have been a number of times. The food is quite good it’s not too expensive. It’s a Young’s pub and has an OK disabled toilet and is accessible. Efficient service and of course a pub like atmosphere. Good for a meal after going…
@venue was a favourite haunt when I worked for SAP in Jermyn St. along with Quaglino’s. I walked with sticks then and both were accessible but Quaglinos had a lot of stairs (with banisters) both to the bar area and the restaurant beneath. Avenue is fine access wise as it’s all on street level. I frequented the…
My good friend Charlie Allen is a menswear designer but knows that sitting in a wheelchair requires a different type of styling and tailoring. Comfort is important as well as accommodating for the fact that you may have a different body shape to that of a standard ‘off the peg’ piece of clothing. Fabric and the…
