Accessibility

Pros:

  • "Once inside apart from the doors being a little heavy all is accessible."
  • "Accessibility is pretty good here, there is a ramp to the main door or some small steps with a rail."

Cons:

  • "Getting around the Bottle Kiln is difficult if you're disabled in either a wheelchair or using a walker."
  • "No tables outside so we sat inside."
  • "There are two levels to the cafe so wheelchair users may struggle to get there without going back outside and I believe the toilets are also in the upper part so there must be a way for wheelchair users to get there."

  • "The staff are extremely friendly, well mannered and helpful, there is no pressure to move on so you can enjoy your visit."

Cons:

  • "No apology when we raised this and it took about 5 minutes for the last piece of cake to come as there was no rush from the staff to cut it or bring it over."
  • "The assistant was rude to my best friend with such a mightier than thou attitude my best friend put back what she was going to purchase on principle."
  • "The miserable sales assistant in the shop (lady with curly hair) couldn’t have been more unfriendly."
  • "Was spoken to like we were children and told a dozen times about the covid procedures by the same very bossy lady."
  • "Atrocious attitude by Diane who served us."
  • "The staff in the eating area were slightly less enthusiastic than in the shop but still polite and friendly."
  • "They do not make you feel welcome to the shop just stare at you like you are a criminal about to rob them."

  • "The BK specialises in quiches, frittatas and pies... all home made and all delicious."
  • "Food fantastic but they really ought to hide the 🍰."
  • "The food is beautiful and definitely worth it."

  • "Our order was simple but it took 3 visits to our table before it was correct."
  • "The kitchen had run out of quite a lot of key elements to their menu offer ... at 1pm?"
  • "We had quiche and salad which we've had many times before, but was very disappointed this time."
