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. Zinc in Manchester has access via a back entrance, a disabled toilet and bar are on the ground floor. There are 7 steps between the restaurant and bar/toilet so…
Balans at Westfield is part of the Balans group, described as ‘the perfect place to eat and drink anytime’. I went there after Christmas shopping and was surprised at the quality of the food and the fact I had plenty of room for my wheelchair. There is also a disabled toilet and access is all on one…
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…

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…
I have frequented Cecconi’s for a number of years as it’s in ‘The Golden Triangle’ of my favourite restaurants which include Sketch and Sartoria. Located just behind the Royal Academy of Arts and just off New Bond St., it gets an interesting clientele who are worth ‘people watching’. The cars and chauffeurs alone are worth a second…
Another day, another ultra hip US style restaurant! This time US tapas type dishes. Apparently Spuntino translates as snack. We went for the peanut butter and jelly sandwich but it will be remembered for the liquorice ice cream with pineapple. Amazing! The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. There was a bit of a wait…
I love Midsummer House restaurant – beautiful location on Midsummer Common near the river in Cambridge. I used to go when I walked with a stick even though using the toilets was a struggle as they are up a number of stairs. The food was and is excellent and I am dying to try the…
