The Inn at Whitewell, in Lancashire, is on the UK’s best beer garden list by Visit Britain and we were going to include it our ‘Best Accessible Beer Garden Guide’ (coming later today). But it turns out that it isn’t really a beer garden. The garden is more of a wooden terrace area than a classic beer garden and…
The Sportsman is a gastro-pub in between Faversham and Whitstable. It is fairly low key in terms of the style but it has a fantastic reputation for being one of the finest restaurants in the area with outstanding, locally sourced, produce from ‘The Garden Of England’. A review in The Telegraph went as far as to describe…
The Good Food Guide has announced it’s Readers’ Top Restaurants for 2014 and we thought we’d check on their disabled credentials with varying results.

Canal House, in Nottingham, is surely a unique pub in that there is an actual working canal running through the middle of the building. It’s a really cool feature in this large red brick pub which has possibly the largest selection of continental beer in Nottingham. We first came across it in a list of…
Casamia is an Italian restaurant in Westbury-on-Trym. It’s a family-run business that, having been handed down from parents to children, has gone on to gain a Michelin star. It’s a real success story for this little restaurant to have become one of the most highly rated in the country. The two brothers, who know run…
Yesterday we profiled how it has become easier for less able people to drive a car. Today we’re going to go one step further and tell you about Aerobility – the charity dedicated to teaching disabled people how to fly a plane. If space is the final frontier, then the skies are surely the penultimate…
