What reviewers say about the free-from experience

  • gluten-free menu
  • coeliac catering
  • staff allergen awareness
  • vegan options

Reviewers focus heavily on the gluten-free offering, repeatedly describing a full, extensive gluten-free menu with plenty of options rather than limited substitutions, spanning breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner. Several people identifying as coeliac say their needs were acknowledged on arrival and clearly understood, and many single out staff as allergy-aware, attentive and happy to talk dietary requirements through. A handful also mention enjoying vegan and vegetarian dishes such as a vegan risotto and a vegan breakfast. A couple of notes were less positive about specific gluten-free dishes, including a chicken burger described as bland.

Summarised from 39 allergen-related public reviews. feefrae is not a medical authority and does not verify individual reviews — this describes what diners discussed, not whether the venue is safe for your needs. Always check directly with the venue and do your own research.
