Accessibility Statement
1. Our Commitment
At Mary’s Cooking Pot, we believe that warm hospitality extends to everyone—both around our table and online. We are committed to ensuring our website is accessible and usable for all visitors, including people with disabilities, visual impairments, or motor challenges.
We aim to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1 Level AA) standards, in alignment with the UK Equality Act 2010.
2. What We Have Done
To ensure a smooth, enjoyable browsing experience for everyone, we have taken active steps to adapt our website, including:
-
Keyboard Navigation & Screen Readers: Structuring pages so they can be easily navigated using a keyboard or screen reading software.
-
Heading & Layout Structure: Using clear headings, consistent page structures, and clean page flows.
-
Alternative Text (Alt Text): Adding descriptive alt text to images of our dishes, events, and workshops so screen readers can accurately convey them.
-
Colour Contrast: Using high-contrast text and background colours to make content clear and easy to read.
-
Clear Language: Keeping our website text easy to read, clear, and straightforward.
-
Reduced Motion: Minimising distracting animations or movement across the site.
3. Third-Party Content
While we strive to ensure every part of our website is fully accessible, some elements—such as interactive maps, social media feeds, or embedded video players—are provided by third-party platforms. We continuously work with our partners to ensure these tools remain as accessible as possible.
4. Physical Venue & Event Accessibility
We want every guest to feel welcomed and cared for at our events, catering venues, and masterclasses in Knowle and across the West Midlands. If you have specific accessibility requirements, mobility needs, or food allergen considerations, please reach out to us prior to your booking so we can accommodate you comfortably.
