Large Print and Braille menus

After a very productive day of abit gardening by Richard and I. A brickie doing some work in my house this morning due to my ongoing renovations to my little house 🤗. We thought we would meet up with my sister for a well deserved meal locally.

I was looking at the menu on my phone as it’s easier for me than reading the menu. Or so I thought.

A lovely fella came up and said they had a large print menu which we could use which also had a Braille menu on the other side.

Well done Brewers Fayre and the Rhubarb Triangle Pub!

We’ve never been offered a large print menu and it made it so much easier for me to read today. And it was also nice to sit and just enjoy reading a menu, page by page for once.

Richard, who has an eye condition called Choroideremia, can read the menu as his central vision is sort of 20/20. His vision is very different to mine and about as hard to explain! He uses a white long cane to get around safely as his distance vision is patchy.

At least we can help each other.
