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 Grand Central Birmingham – Restaurant Review
★★★★★ 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 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
Alexandra Theatre Birmingham
★★★ I attend the Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham with my godmother and her daughter, to see the stage production of Friends the Musical Parody. The Alexandra Theatre Birmingham is quite an old building and there are various steps up to the main entrance. The different queues outside made it slightly confusing as to where the… Continue reading Alexandra Theatre Birmingham
Dishoom Birmingham – Restaurant Review
★★★★ Dishoom Birmingham is located just on the edge of the city centre. The exterior is very beautiful and has an Indian theme to it. The entrance is flat access, although the doors are push and pull only, which is restricting if disabled customers are not with anyone. There are two sets of doors into… Continue reading Dishoom Birmingham – Restaurant Review

The restaurant had a small step up to it which my wheelchair could climb but it's something disabled customers need to be aware of. As usual, the restaurant has a standard-sized disabled toilet which is annoying.… Continue reading Rudys Birmingham – Restaurant Review

Wayland’s Yard, 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, New Street 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. There are clear instructions on how to book virtually and then we just had to wait for a notification to… Continue reading Franco Manca, New Street Birmingham – Restaurant Review
