The Espresso Library is a trendy cafe in Cambridge, it’s not far from the center of town but is far enough out for it to be quiet for long periods of time. Mostly a student venue, lots of Mac books and small groups of people having a couple coffee’s between lectures… You can get some…
No 1 Lieutenant went to visit Rabbit a new restaurant in the Kings Rd., Chelsea, run by the ‘Gladwin’ Brothers – Gregory the farmer; Oliver the chef (at Oxo Tower & River Cottage) and Richard who went into hospitality (manager of Bunga Bunga in Battersea). So a good mix for the restaurant trade. They grew up…
I’ve been to two pub/restaurants recently that according to their staff were accessible. They were, to a certain extent but there’s always something they omit to tell you and it’s not because they’re forgetful it’s just that unless you’ve ‘walked a mile in my shoes’ (not a good metaphor when you’re in a wheelchair) you’re…
The Musical Lieutenant and her brother chose The Lockhart as the ‘new place’ I should visit especially as it had ‘fried chicken’.

The London version of the upmarket H10 hotel chain is a fantastic new build hotel with a roof top bar that’s worth visiting in its own right. The newly constructed H10’s asymmetric architecture really stands out as something quite cutting edge and the hotel received a RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) National Architecture Award…
The Fox is an award winning pub and fine dining restaurant located in a picturesque village of Willian near Letchworth in north Hertfordshire. It won Gastro Pub of the Year at the Food Awards England and Wales 2014 and most recently the pub was awarded a place on the Budweiser Budvar Top 50 Gastropub Awards 2015 at…
We had a late Sunday lunch at the Phoenix Palace Chinese Restaurant and I must say I was very impressed. The access for wheelchair users is via a ramp at the front door, then main restaurant access is on one level including the less abled WC which is well equipped with drop down hand rails and emergency pull cord.…
