"I am writing this review on behalf of my mum and her friend who recently had an upsetting and unpleasant experience at Ruby Spice. They had booked a table in the name of Wednesday 19th August at 7pm. The table was booked over the telephone and on this call, they advised Ruby Spice that within the party of 4 there were 2 wheelchair users. They was assured by the gentleman on the phone that the restaurant was wheelchair friendly. However, upon arriving at the restaurant the party was unable to gain access to the restaurant. Steps inside the entrance and no room for manouvering made it impossible for the wheelchairs to enter safely. A member of staff did say he would help them to get in, but he was unable to do so; and after trying he just walked off and didn't offer any apology or explanation. After that, not one other member of staff came to speak to/assist the party. The whole situation was very embarrassing and upsetting for everyone, especially as other diners were trying to assist. Understandably, they left the restaurant, deciding to go to neighbouring Meze to eat, as it was so close by and it was pouring with rain. Although they had good food and service at Meze, the dining experience there was marred by the fact all four were rain soaked due to the debacle of trying to enter Ruby Spice premises, not to mention they were understandably still upset. In addition, one of the reasons that they chose Ruby Spice was to take advantage of the government's Eat Out to Help Out scheme and unfortunately the party ended up spending much more money than they anticipated at the Meze restaurant. We have emailed the restaurant with these details and awaiting a reply. We have suggested that they ensure all staff are aware of this incident, as to avoid embarrassment and distress to future customers."
