The Bell Inn

I am a wheelchair user. We intended to have lunch at the pub to check out accessibility. The pub has a very good reputation for food and drink. However , accessibility is abysmal! The pub is side on to the road and there is front and rear access. The front door is narrow with a high step, just about wheelchair possible, but an inner, outward-opening, lobby door reduces the width, preventing any wheelchair access. The rear door is via the garden, off the large car park. The rear entrance is wide enough for a wheelchair, taking you past a gents toilet and a ladies toilet, both with one step up and narrow doors. No accessible toilet. You enter the pub to be confronted by one step down to a lobby area, then one step up to the main eating area. A total block to a wheelchair! The garden has a timber circular seating shelter, near the back door - not accessible. A steep windy path leads into the back garden. Not inviting if in a wheelchair!
