Love Dulwich Restaurant

Hi,

Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please.

Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly. 

Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope.

Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above..

Thanks…

Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time.

Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.

The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group  

The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue

The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly

Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they?

I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one.

Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.

It's quite a steep step from memory. The ramp would have to be quite a few feet long to make the angle shallow enough to be safe. Maybe I'm wrong - not an expert.

A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road.

We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.
