Additional Comments
Could manouver easily around the tables, and my wheels fitted easily under the table without any table leg in the way. Disabled WC not in an obvious location so I had to ask where it was. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Staff helpful but not fussy – did not make me feel disabled, even when I lost the ability to speak and had to rely on mime and text messages.

Would definitely go again if in the area.
