Mes Amis is a tiny Lebanese restaurant in Hammersmith. The entire restaurant, including the kitchen sink, fits into one small room. The chef and proprietor, James, runs the whole operation from the corner of the room, where his cooker is situated, whilst two waiters look after you. Generally, most people go for the set mixed meze…
At Bassoon Bar, in London’s Corinthia Hotel, they take their cocktails very seriously. A team of expert mixologists have worked hard to bring a range of traditional and innovative drinks. They clearly pride themselves on their work and have even gone to the effort of making a video to explain their ‘philosophy’. Music, they say, is important…
I’ll start this weeks Weds Wrap with the image of me being carried along by a team of strapping young waiters – trust me, it’s far less glamorous than it sounds. I had to be carried up the stairs at The Gilbert Scott last week because their lift had broken down. I was not particularly…
The New Ellington is a hotel in Leeds but we are only reviewing the bar and restaurant. A friend of Blue Badge Style, Danni, has been there but we called up to confirm and get more details about the disabled access and facilities. We managed to find out that the entrance of the hotel has 2 steps…

The Guardian seemed impressed by the restaurant and said “If fine dining was like this more often, maybe it wouldn’t be dying out” We haven’t been here yet but we’ve managed to find out they don’t have the best facilities for those in a wheel chair… There is…
I keep forgetting to write this review and I don’t know why as I had a great night out at Bubbledogs, in Charlotte St., London. They serve exactly what you’d think champagne – direct from growers so there are some unusual and very good bottles of ‘poo’ – and hotdogs – which were fine but…
Edmund’s restaurant is in Birmingham, they serve French cuisine and the restaurant is beautifully “decorated in warm golden tones, with superb lighting”. We haven’t been to Edmund’s yet but we’ve found out that they have pretty good disabled access! There are no steps into or around the restaurant and they do have a disabled toilet.…
Just back from Kyrenia, N.Cyprus where I stayed at the 4 Star Pia Bella Hotel. Fifi in a 4star I hear you say!! Yes but it had excellent disabled facilities. They had a huge room with plenty of room to manoeuvre and a disabled wet room. On top of that, although the decor was plain, it was…
