Disability, Reviews, Travel & More—from a student
My friend, Shannon, posted about Motability's event at the NEC centre. For those not aware, Motability is a charity that helps disabled people find cars that suit their needs using the individual's mobility allowance.

★★★★★ Mowgli’s Indian Street food is in Grand Central Station among all the other restaurants. From the outside, it gives a nice, relaxed jungle theme which is also reflected inside and I felt both the name and the interior reflected each other nicely. It was flat access to get inside with some of the tables… Continue reading Mowgli’s Grand Central Birmingham – Restaurant Review
★★★★ @pizza is located in Grand Central Station, Birmingham. It is opposite Mrs Chow’s Chicken and next to Nandos. Getting in was quite difficult. There is no door, just an open shopfront, which is good, but inside was difficult to manoeuvre as counters and tables were put quite close together. I just about squeezed myself… Continue reading @pizza Grand Central Birmingham – Restaurant Review

★★ Wayland’s Yard is located on Bull Street, Birmingham, some ten minutes walk from the Bull Ring Shopping Centre. Getting into the cafe is flat access and has enough space for my electric wheelchair to get inside. However, they are push and pull doors, meaning I had to get assistance with these. When we entered… Continue reading Wayland’s Yard, Birmingham – Restaurant Review
★★★★ Franco Manca is located on Bennett's Hill close to New Street Station in Birmingham City Centre. On arrival, my friend and I needed to join a virtual queue using the code outside the restaurant.
