Disability, Reviews, Travel & More—from a student
★★★★★ On one of my recent trips to Harborne, I decided to visit Paul at No. 41, an independent business on a busy high street. I had been recommended by a friend so decided to support this independent coffee shop. The accessibility into the entrance was flat with a slightly narrow doorway but as I… Continue reading Paul at No. 41 – Review
★★★★ Getting into Costa Coffee Harborne was easy enough as it was flat access with only a slight incline and only one door was initially open which was not wide enough for me to get through in my electric wheelchair. However, a staff member came over immediately as soon as he saw us trying to… Continue reading Costa Coffee Harborne – Review
Star Rating: ⭐⭐ I must admit that in my three years at University, I have paid regular visits to this particular dessert parlour. The location of it was about two minutes down the road from my halls of residence and I often found the urge to pop down there whenever I was craving something sweet. The… Continue reading Doorstep Desserts, Western Blvd, Leicester – Restaurant Review
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ This restaurant and bar can be considered as relatively new as it has undergone refurbishments not that long ago. Disability access and awareness in the place is strange though. First of all, has been steps up to the main entrance, so to be able to get in, I have to rely on friends… Continue reading Walkabout, Leicester – Restaurant Review
Star Rating: ⭐⭐ This restaurant is easy to get to, but unfortunately has steps up to the front entrance; which means I could not get into the restaurant this way. Instead, I have to gain access through the garden connected to the restaurant; this I think is fine as it allows there is more space… Continue reading Weatherspoons, Ocean Village, Southampton – Restaurant Review
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ This restaurant has flat access into it, the only thing that I'd be aware of is this slight lisp up to the front door, wheelchairs should be able to get over it unaided, but if you can not, ask for help. When I first moved inside there was a wide table which was… Continue reading Supreme Asian Cuisine, Southampton – Restaurant Review
Star Rating: ⭐⭐ Domino's in Western Blvd, Leicester is in a prime location in a student-dominated city; it is literally two minutes away from Bede Hall and across the road from the edge of De Montfort University's campus. I would say they are extremely accommodating for the large student population, it is open throughout the day… Continue reading Domino’s, Western Blvd, Leicester
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ This restaurant stands on a whole square of restaurants surrounding Highcross Shopping Centre, it has flat access into the restaurant, but what I will say is there is a very tall front of house stand which is positioned slightly to the right of the main door which can slightly block the passageway… Continue reading Carluccio’s, Leicester – Restaurant Review
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ Getting into the restaurant seemed easy at first, but getting close to the entrance, I saw the restaurant had steps up into it. This is not a very good start to the restaurant's disability access and awareness for their customers. I was lucky that I was with my dad and he went… Continue reading Akbar’s Birmingham – Restaurant Review
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ El Borracho de Oro, Birmingham is at a great location, it is surrounded by flowers and greenery that look beautiful even on rainy days. There are steps up to the restaurant, however there is flat access to it, disabled customers just have to be mindful that the incline into the main Garden… Continue reading El Borracho de Oro, Birmingham – Restaurant Review
