Accessibility

We want everybody to be able to read this site, book a table on it, and find out what is on the menu — whether or not they use a mouse, a screen, or their eyes to do it.

What we have done

• Every photograph has a written description. It is a required field when a photograph is uploaded, not something added later, so the descriptions do not drift out of date as the site grows.
• The whole site works from the keyboard. Every link, button, form field and menu can be reached and used without a pointing device, and whatever you are on is visibly outlined.
• Animation respects your settings. If your device asks for reduced motion, the scrolling effects, the moving headline and the hero cross-fade all stop. The site reads the same without them.
• Headings are in order, one main heading per page, so a screen reader can be used to skip through a page rather than listen to all of it.
• Colour is never the only signal. Anything marked by colour — an unavailable booking time, a dietary tag, a form error — is also marked in words.
• Forms say what is wrong, next to the thing that is wrong, and move focus to the first problem rather than leaving you to hunt.
• Text contrast is checked against the WCAG 2.1 AA thresholds.
• There is a skip link to the main content, for anyone tabbing through.

Where it falls short

We would rather say this than claim the site is perfect.

• The map is a still image that links out to Google Maps. That is deliberate — an embedded map is slow and hard to use without sight — but it means directions are read on Google's site, not ours.
• The pinned dish showcase on the home page is an animated layout on large screens. It falls back to a plain stacked list on smaller ones and whenever reduced motion is asked for, which is also what a screen reader gets.
• We have tested with keyboard navigation and automated checks. We have not yet had the site audited by someone who uses a screen reader daily, which is the test that actually counts.

In the restaurant

The dining room, the bar and the restrooms are step-free from the garage lift on Level 2. Tell us when you book if you need a particular table and we will hold one.

Tell us where we have got it wrong

If something on this site is hard to use, we would genuinely like to know — it is the only way we will find out.
