We have complained for a long time about the absence of a disabled toilet at the world famous Fat Duck restaurant, home to the eccentric culinary musings of one Mr Heston Blumethal. Why, we asked, is the famous home of molecular gastronomy – where science meets delicious – so appalling behind the times on disabled…
Further Update Nov 2013: The Hinds Head doesn’t have a disabled toilet it’s just a large gents on the ground floor accessed via one step. So as you were, see Hinds Head review here & Fat Duck still gets 3 BBS Ticks (on the proviso that the disabled/staff toilet is accessible, we’ll investigate soon). ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Perhaps, you might think, the end of October is not the best time in the world to decide to write a post on how less able people can take up surfing. You’d have to be extremely brave to start surfing in the bitterly cold, windy and wet weather we see at this time of year,…
