The Quay Wetherspoons Pub

Wetherspoons have pubs located all over the UK and we have two in poole - both accessible but this review will be focused on The Quay pub (located on Poole Quay funnily enough!)

The Quay is a large pub located over 2 floors but the 2nd floor isnt accessible for wheelchairs but this has never been an issue as there is plenty of room downstairs. There is also plenty of seats outside for the sunnier days. The front of the pub tends to be smaller tables but if you go further back you can find the larger tables more suited for wheelchairs and if there is a large group of people.

Because of the pubs location,it can get extremely busy but we have never had to wait long for food or drinks even at its busiest time. The bar can get a bit crowded but not unbearable - just need a bit of patience! 

The food served obviously isnt gourmet but for the price you're paying its pretty decent and theres always deals on such as two meals for £7 or a burger/hot dog and a drink for £4.50 - cant go wrong with these prices!

There is also a disabled toilet located to the back of the pub.

The staff in this pub are always really friendly and willing to help with any special requests (for example they always add extra milk or water to the hot drinks for us as the lady i support likes her drinks luke warm)

I give The Quay 4 stars!

Harvester - Poole

We quite often visit our local Harvester for our lunch as the food is tasty and reasonably price. We normally go for the £9.99 deal...salad bowl, unlimited drink, a main meal and pudding - total bargain!

Our local Harvester is The Seahorse in Poole. There is a large car park with 4/5 disabled spots..some large and some normal size but we've never had any issues getting a spot. (Top tip....if there are no disabled spots, Sainsburys next door has loads - so you can park there and walk across the road to the pub. There is a small slope next to a set of stairs so everyone can get in - there is a bit of a lip on the doors but its doable - staff normally come over to help hold doors open too.

Inside the harvester there is plenty of different height /sized tables to pick from and the staff are happy to help move tables round to accommodate you and the floors are all even. 

The only issue we have had was with a certain staff member who was rude to us on several occasions but we spoke to the manager about this and got it resolved and we've been back since and it all seems to be fine now! Maybe we just caught them on a bad day?!

I give our local Harvester 3 stars!
