Awards – why do they never feel inclusive?

The Estrella Damm National Restaurant Awards were held in June this year. They………

“celebrate the brilliance and vibrancy of the UK’s eating out scene, and reward the very best chefs, front of house staff and restaurants the country has to offer”.

We agree the UK scene is vibrant but how accessible and inclusive were the winners of the awards. We did a survey asking each about their accessibility for disabled people. Here are the results:

National Restaurant of the Year was Kiln, Soho. They have ‘walk-ins’ for a counter service, like many new restaurants, however, we wish they would put a part of the counter at wheelchair height. We’re waiting to hear what their accessibility is like and we’ll let you know!! Tatler also awarded them best newcomer in their awards and said

‘you’ve got to queue to get a pew here, as is the way in Soho, but do it and your taste buds will be transported from W1 to northern Thailand. ……. the open kitchen here is a treat. A sumptuous, visual and totally delicious treat’.

Kiln Soho Has Won Many Accolades But Looks Like a Step at the Entrance?

Walk In Counter Service But no Sign of a Wheelchair Space

Luckily There are Tables Available for 4+ Bookings. We’re Awaiting Their Response on Accessibility!??

Looking at all the photos we can find Kiln looks a little inaccessible so we can only give them an unaudited 2 BBS Ticks.

But why not add information on accessibility to your websites??! We can then decide whether to visit or not. Restaurateurs please add a BBS Gallery.………..
