Food & Drink

Britain is a nation of food lovers, which is hardly surprising considering the diversity of the menus you’ll find in every corner of the country. Everywhere you look you’ll find speciality restaurants, cafes and more offering international treats and more traditional fare. Many of the high street chains are accessible and offer changing places toilets and are part of the Not Every Disability is Visible Campaign. A number of places are wheelchair accessible too.

Take a look below at our accessible places to eat and drink.

Britain is famous for the gastro-pub and for food festivals that take place all over the country. From farmers’ markets in towns and cities where you can sample local goods to celebrations of a whole genre of food, such as the sea food festivals that can be found in the coast and the street food festivals that are rife in the cities.

Unique delicacies and world wide favourites

Great Britain is the nation that invented afternoon tea and there is nowhere better to sample it than the border of Cornwall and Devon where they argue about which order to stack the cream and jam! Top tip, the Devon/Cornwall divide is also a great excuse to eat multiple Cornish Pasties, which either originated in Cornwall or Devon, depending on who you ask! Whether you’re looking for fresh sea food at the coast, a proper British fish ‘n’ chips experience, a spicy curry, noodles, vibrant street food or an award-winning fine dining kind of evening, you’ll find something that will suit your tastes and all the eateries listed here have a whole range of accessibility options to cater for everyone.

Regional specialities are something the British pride themselves in.
Head to Scotland and sample some traditional haggis and a deep-fried mars bar or two, head down to Yorkshire for some parkin and Yorkshire puddings, spend some time in Wales eating rarebit and Welsh cakes. Fancy a few more treats? Hop over to Bath for a Bath Bun or two and then over to the East End of London for some proper cockney fare, whelks, jellied eels and of course, pie and mash with liquor.

Every one of the UK’s regions have their own distinct specialities, which you can’t not try while you’re visiting.

Whatever you’re in the mood for, there are plenty of options open to you. From feeding the family in a casual setting to elegant fine dining, there are a wide range of accessible eateries from restaurants, cafes, pubs, bars and take away establishments. If you’re staying over, your accommodation providers will be more than happy to point you in the direction of somewhere tasty that they recommend, but if not, you’ll find a whole list here to help you work up an appetite.

It isn’t just food on offer, Britain is the home to many craft drinks too.

Wash your dinner down with a carefully crafted farmyard cider, a locally distilled gin or an award-winning wine.

It isn’t just the traditional eateries that Britain has on offer, fancy a trip to a chili farm with some tasting after? You can do that in the south west of England! Some of the country’s top attractions are places that allow you to pick and cook your own produce that is grown locally – should anyone be a keen cook!

Visitors coming from overseas might also want to sample some seasonal treats when they’re in the UK, Easter biscuits, mince pies, hot cross buns and more are all served during the holidays at eateries all over the place. The UK is a great place for a disabled friendly foodie holiday.

You’ll find the best food and drink in the UK that suits every taste and budget, with many establishments going the extra mile to make all guests feel welcome whatever their needs. If you have dietary needs, sight issues or need a little extra leg room around the table, don’t worry, you’ll find places that suit you right here.
