Lots of options. Right in Victoria street and they are aware of allergens. Would recommend!

Tips


Celiac

Ask for the gluten free menu! The main menu has a mark for NGCI but doesn’t use it for any of the meals even though many are. They ask about allergies when you’re ordering but also have a totally separate gluten free menu that they won’t necessarily think to supply you with unless you ask—chock it up to being a busy restaurant—but they did definitely remember my celiac and even pointed out that one of their cocktails contains gluten as I was about to order it.

Had lunch here mid week. Even though they were busy and we didn't have a reservation that went out of their way to accommodate a family of four. We had the 2 course for £17.95. Great food and great value for money. Staff were awesome and knew rheir way around GF. Can highly recommend.

we ate here one night, it’s a super popular place. I had high hopes and it did not really live up to the expectations I had. it was safe and I did not get sick, but the food is over priced.
