Pizza da VinciBattersea, London View On MapI found out about them a while ago and then had an horrific gluten free pizza experience somewhere else and got scared. All the while, leaflets kept coming to my house with "gluten free bases available" to torment me. It was until someone at the local coeliac group confirmed that their pizzas were gluten free and tasty that I felt brave enough to try one. I ordered via Just Eat as that seemed to be the easiest way to order a gluten free pizza. They give you a gluten free pizza option and so it is clear that you are ordering a gluten free pizza.
The Da Vinci pizzas are made in a wood fired oven so they have that wood smoked taste that really reminds me of the Italian pizza vans driving round France with their logged fired ovens. The taste is amazing, it is the thin and crispy pizza taste that I have been craving in my no pizza years. I've ordered from them three times so far and they have been consistent. What more could a coeliac ask for?

Domino's Pizza
, Chain View On Map
We were excited to recently hear that Domino's pizza are now offering gluten free options. So one night in the build up to Christmas and after a long day at work we decided to try it out. Currently you can only order a small pizza (not ideal for a tall man!) but you can have for any of their pizzas, just go to options and choose the GF crust. About half an hour later there was a knock on the door, a strange feeling to have a pizza delivery man there! The pizza was delicious although it went all too quickly. As it was delivered then I can't be sure on how well they deal with cross contamination but we have ordered a couple of times since and never had any issues. It is lovely being able to get a take out at the same price as a non-coeliac, would just be even better if we could get a larger size!

ASK Italian
, Chain View On Map
ASK Italian recently launched a gluten free pizza base across their restaurants and it was only right that I booked myself a table one night and tried it out. I've eaten at this restaurant numerous times, both pre and post coeliac diagnosis and I've only ever had good dining experiences there. The food is always wonderful and the staff friendly, helpful, and confidently knowledgeable about gluten free food. First off I was pleasantly surprised to see that gluten free dishes were now indicated on their menu with small GF icons.
There were a couple of gluten free starter options available but I was really craving rustic chips. They came with a more than ample pot of garlic mayonnaise which was really tasty. I was already pretty full by the time my Stromboli pizza was delivered! It came out on a quaint pizza dish with it's own cutter as well as the standard cutlery. At first glance it looked as good as the 'regular' pizza which my brother ordered. The base was really lovely and thin whilst still being nice and crispy around the edges. The quantity of topping was very generous in my opinion and I have to admit, I could not eat all of it, which was a shame as it was really good. I did try my best! I think this is currently my favourite gluten free pizza on the market. I like the bases to be thin and crispy at the edge and for the pizza not to be dripping in oil.
This is a definite recommendation for other coeliacs out there. Out of all the chains of restaurants in the UK I believe ASK is up there at the top end as one of the best when it comes to options, gluten free / coeliac awareness and understanding.

Frank's Bar
Norwich, Norfolk View On Map
It can sometimes be tough finding a great lunch spot when eating gluten free. Sandwiches, paninis and the like still dominate a lot of lunchtime menus. So I was delighted to discover Frank's Bar in Norwich, which has an exciting selection of gluten free options. It's always nice to support local, independent places and sometimes coeliacs can naturally veer towards trusted chains where they feel safe. Frank's is proof as to why it's worth exploring. There's an eclectic mix of dishes with some Mediterranean influences but clearly not forgetting some of the great produce we have on our doorstep in Norfolk. Highlights have been Shakshuka, a delicious dish of Tunisian baked eggs with roasted peppers in a tomato saffron stew which is generously scattered with feta. The Spanish tapas dish is everything you'd expect with spicy chrorizo, salty manchego, paprika chips and much more. The more substantial dishes are equally as good grilled 'flat iron' steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and served with an excellent chimichurri sauce. It's all great value too, with decent portions for around the £8 - £9 mark.
The menu is all clearly marked with 'GF' signs to signal they are gluten free and some are marked with 'GFA' meaning they can be adapted to be gluten free. I've been offered gluten free bread in the past which is great to see. Whether your gluten free or not, Frank's Bar is definitely worth checking out. It's a popular place so occasionally you may have to wait for a table but for food this tasty and a great atmosphere, its certainly worth it.

The Ship Inn
Downham Market, Norfolk View On Map
Having recently visited The Ship Inn with my father who is Gluten Free and often doesn't bother to go to restaurants as he claims he is 'bored with Steak and jacket potato', we were very happy to find The Ship Inn as most of their menu was Gluten Free as standard and the odd things that we all know are difficult (mainly bread) is catered for happily by the team there. The Pub is seems to be owned by Father and Son one of which is also GF so there seems to be a great understanding of peoples needs without it being any issue at all. All in all some of the best naturally Gluten Free food we have had anywhere. Well worth a visit and probably worth booking as I think they will only progress to get busier and busier.

Atomic Burger
Bishopston, Bristol View On Map
Ahead of a trip to Bristol we'd seen that Atomic Burger offered Gluten Free choices so planned to eat there when next visiting the city. Rather than having a Gluten Free menu detailing what is Gluten Free, they have a separate menu detailing the menu items WITH Gluten. There is an extra £2 added to Gluten Free options (Bun & Burger) which I always think is a bit unfair for Coeliac/Gluten Free diners. Each of the Atomic Burgers has a gimmick - the whole restaurant is a big gimmick with lots of retro toys and games from the 70's and 80's and videos of old cartoons and TV shows on a big screen. The service was very good and the waiter was aware of Coeliac/Gluten Free needs. I opted for the 'Dolly Parton' burger (double burger obviously) which was served with fries. I'd asked the waiter and he assured me that the fries are cooked separately from any gluten containing food. This was great news as I haven't eaten Fries in a long time! The meal was good, if a little expensive. But as a treat it was worth it. The environment of the restaurant was good too.

Edelweiss
Cheddar, Somerset View On Map
Ahead of our visit to Cheddar, Somerset we'd seen a review of the Edelweiss restaurant saying that it offered Gluten Free options. When we arrived we had a look on the menu outside and noticed that it mentioned'Gluten Free Sausages' but no other Gluten Free options. When we went in I asked and was told they had more Gluten Free choices. I also noticed a sign on the inside of the restaurant saying Gluten Free and Dairy Free options are available (this should be facing outside too!). There was a lot of choice for me which made a nice change and I was also brought out a separate menu that listed Gluten Free options. One of the interesting items listed was 'SMOG'! We asked the waitress what this was and told it was 'Sausage Mash and Onion Gravy' the separate menu had a number of acronyms on it. I didn't opt for the SMOG and instead had the Chicken Supreme stuffed with Cranberry Sauce with potatoes and salad. It was a very large portion and tasted great. The service was excellent throughout and my dining partners also had a good portion of Fish & Chips and a large serving of Victoria Sponge Cake (the VSC). The prices were very reasonable. I'd definitely go back to Edelweiss the next time I'm in Cheddar.

The Mask of Venice
Weston-super-Mare, Somerset View On Map
Prior to a visit to Weston-Super-Mare we'd seen that the Italian restaurant Mask of Venice could cater for Coeliacs so headed along for a meal. The menu does not state which items are specifically Gluten Free, it's a case of picking something you like the look of and then getting the waitress to double check if it's OK. This is better than nothing I suppose, but not my favourite way of seeing the gluten free choices. When the bread was brought out I received a gluten free roll. Always a nice touch. I opted for starter of garlic mushrooms which was good. For my main course I had the veal escalope with cider and apples which was delicious.

Lumiere
Cheltenham, Gloucestershire View On Map
This restaurant is fantastic for catering for any dietary requirements, including Gluten free. With myself as a coeliac and my partner with a fish and seafood allergy we usually have a tough time eating out, but the staff here couldn't do enough to ensure we were well catered for. The food is amazing and the service top notch, we were told we could have anything on the menu and the chef would tailor it to our needs. In the end we opted for the seven course tasting menu which we've never been able to do at other restaurants, and we each had courses specifically tailored to our dietary needs, and of course gluten free bread was provided. All of the courses were outstanding, and although not the cheapest restaurant, it was well worth the money. This was a fantastic experience and has restored my confidence in eating out again, and I would highly recommend the restaurant to anyone with dietary needs.

Fish and Chips @ Weston Grove
Chester, Cheshire View On Map
After being diagnosed with Coeliac Disease last year, I have missed being able to have Fish and Chips as a treat. It is hard to find a nearby restaurant and many only serve gluten free on certain days - which may not be the day you fancy Fish and Chips! I am delighted and excited to share details of a fabulous new restaurant and takeaway which has opened up in Chester - they serve GF Fish and Chips all day every day with a separate dedicated fryer. They are knowledgeable about GF requirements and have separate prep areas to avoid cross contamination. The team are so friendly and clearly go to great lengths to source and serve the best quality food. The GF (and according to my husband, the non GF!) Fish and Chips are absolutely delicious and I can highly, highly recommend them :)

The Royal Hotel
Ventor, Isle Of Wight View On Map
I'd called the Royal Hotel in advance to talk to them about catering gluten free. They must have made a note of this on our reservation because once the bread was brought for the rest of the table, I was asked if I'd like some gluten free bread. Yes, please! For my starter I chose the tian of avocado with Ventnor bay crab. I thoroughly enjoyed the light and refreshing flavours of this dish. However, the best was yet to come. I chose the pan fried sea bass, with fennel and a citrus quinoa. The zingy citrus quinoa served with the sea bass was the perfect choice for a summer lunchtime sitting outside in the beautiful gardens. What I particularly liked about this dish was that it got me excited about cooking an ingredient in a way I'd not thought about before. Even just looking at the photo now I recall how fresh and summery this tasted.

The Crown Hotel
Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk View On Map
Having zoomed up from London straight after work on Friday night we made our way to The Crown Hotel for dinner, just before they stopped serving food at 9.30pm. Part of the Flying Kiwi independent group of inns in Norfolk, The Crown is a 12 room hotel which offers dining either in the relaxed Orangery or the smaller, more formal dining room. I noticed at the base of the regular menu was a small note saying they had a gluten free menu. Promising. Even more promising when I was presented with this relatively extensive gluten free menu. It was too late to eat a starter as well as a main course but next time I'll arrive earlier so that I can taste the complimentary gluten free bread served with all starters. I'm always impressed with restaurants which make the effort of providing gluten free bread but it's interesting to see the quality as it can vary.
I was very pleased to see chips on the gluten free menu and checked with the waitress how they were cooked. Happily, they're not dusted in flour and they are cooked in a dedicated fryer so no chance of cross contamination. The waitress who served us was extremely knowledgeable about ingredients, cooking methods and, despite the restaurant being very busy, she checked and double checked on my questions without any fuss which also impressed E and Mr D. However, it turned out after her checking that the tartare sauce was not gluten free.
Since it was Friday and I was beside the seaside, I went for grilled haddock goujons with hand cut chips. The fish was chunky and fresh. The chips were lovely, thick cut and a rare treat. All in all this was a great meal. Delicious gluten free food, friendly atmosphere and impressive service under pressure.

The Ambrette
Margate, Kent View On Map
While in Margate we ate at The Ambrette. We'd been recommended the restaurant by some friends of ours in the town. We were not disappointed. I had checked in advance that they could cater for Coeliacs and they said they get quite a lot of people with dietary requirements and explained what could/couldn't be GF. The food is Indian but looking at the menu online it doesn't look like typical Indian restaurant food. And it isn't. The whole experience of dining at The Ambrette is amazing. I'm not going to go into too much detail as it may spoil the surprise. Prior to our visit I had been told it was a great restaurant and it certainly is. We had a starter and a main course and both were fantastic. Each of the courses and side dishes are explained to you by the waiting staff and the look and taste of the dishes is excellent. Most of the items on the menu is gluten free, or can be made GF. Rather than naan bread with the main courses Coeliacs receive a Dosa (a type of rice pancake). This was great. It tasted really nice and was something I hadn't eaten before. It was great to not have to miss out on having a'bread'with the meal. I would definitely eat there again.
