Accessibility

Using the lift, getting downstairs & wheelchair access:

Our café & toilets are situated downstairs in the ‘basement’. We have a lift that can take you downstairs.

The lift is controlled by holding down the button. The lift door is on a hinge, and must be opened manually by pulling the door handle. It opens outwards.

If you need any assistance using the lift, our team are happy to help.

Once you are on the basement floor, the will reach an area with the community notice board and toilet facilities, as well as some other doors to staff areas, and one to a stairway fire exit. The door is a standard doorway, so may be unsuitable for larger chairs.

Shop Aisles

Some items are located on low shelves. Some items are located on slightly higher fridge shelves.

Eighth Day is a Safe Space for all

Eighth Day is, has always been and will always be LGBTQ+ friendly, breastfeeding friendly, child friendly and neurodivergent friendly environment (with what is in our control anyway). If you think we can make improvements, drop us a line and let us know.

Drinking Straws

Whilst we’re obviously huge eco advocates and are keen to reduce single use plastic usage, we also understand that some people cannot use paper straws, and the metal straws we sell might not be suitable for hot drinks for example. For this reason, in the cafe we have PLA plastic straws available upon request for anyone that needs one.

Invisible Disabilities or Extra Support you might need

If you have an invisible disability or difficulties that might effect your experience at Eighth Day or the way in which you communicate your order for example, and would like to let us know, our team are always ready and willing to help in whatever way we can. If that’s reading the menu out loud with descriptions to you, helping you carry your food to your table, packing your shopping in your bag for you, or even just speaking more clearly, we’ll accommodate you in as many ways as we can.

If you’re visiting us and you would like us to turn the music down or off during your visit, just let us know. Please be aware that our kitchen is open, and can be seen and heard from the certain parts of the cafe floor, and this can sometimes include loud noises such as a blender or the odd broken cup.

Call Ahead?

Feel free to give us a call, to see if we can accomodate you or if you want to let us know about any needs you might have.
