Awards – why do they never feel inclusive?

The Estrella Damm National Restaurant Awards were held in June this year. They………

“celebrate the brilliance and vibrancy of the UK’s eating out scene, and reward the very best chefs, front of house staff and restaurants the country has to offer”.

We agree the UK scene is vibrant but how accessible and inclusive were the winners of the awards. We did a survey asking each about their accessibility for disabled people. Here are the results:

Best Restaurant in N.Ireland was Wine and Brine run by another Great British Menu chef Chris McGowan. They said ‘Yes we have a disabled toilet and have flat access for wheelchair and ambulant disabled people.’ It’s located in Moira near Belfast and the Belfast Telegraph review said,

‘….the tongue and cheek pie, the dish which enhanced McGowan’s name following his performance on Great British Menu, is something which should be on everyone’s bucket list. Four or five slices of beautifully pink, tender and moist prime rib on top of a bell-shaped, short crust pie with chunks of tongue, beef, turnip and carrot inside made this one of the most memorable dishes I’ve eaten this year.’

Wine & Brine Looks Bright With Good Space for Wheelchairs. A Welcome Addition to N. Ireland’s Food Scene

Wine and Brine gets an unaudited 2.5 BBS Ticks.

So on those results we would say the chosen restaurants are largely inclusive so why not advertise the fact by adding information on accessibility to your websites??! Restaurateurs please add a BBS Gallery.………..
