Mamma Chen’s aims to be as safe and accessible as possible. Please see below general accessibility information.
If you have any questions that are not answered below or if you have any suggestions on how we can improve accessibility, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@mammachens.com.au or call/text 0431 665 190. We are always learning and trying to do whatever we can to create a space for all to enjoy, so we appreciate any feedback and suggestions. (We are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but our emails are monitored every day).
We are raising funds to make the stage accessible via a portable platform lift. One of our wonderful local regulars has set up a GoFundMe page!
