Accessibility at The Quakerhouse

The front doorway is fairly wide. There is a small slope up, through the door then down into the building. This also applies to their accessible toilet. The toilet is fairly narrow. On the other hand, the corridor is just big enough to turn into the toilet depending on your wheelchair’s model. The signs are very clear to read.

However, the lighting is quite dim. Whilst the staff are not fully trained to work with those who are neurodivergent, they’re able to help to the best of their ability. Whilst there are no braille or large print menus, they are able to tell you what options are available. They also carry your drinks to your chosen seat.
