I often eat at Mercado lounge. The member of staff was knowledgable and reassured me that they have a separate GF fryer. Lots of variety in food!

After downloading the gluten free app to my phone, I thought I'd try a local restaurant so the nearest was the lounge market harborough 18 miles away,I took my step dad with me who's not a coeliac,upon arrival there was car parking available outside for 40 mins so that was good as my step dad struggles with walking,the restaurant was nice and cosy and clean,the staff where fine, the coffee was lovely, the food we opted for the gf bubble and squeak, disappointing it was small and bland, and to top it off I was Ill the next day,possibly cross contamination as I'm very sensitive to gluten, so I shall not be returning or recommending.

Celiac friendly?

No

They appear take all allergens very seriously. When I said I was ordering from the gluten free menu, I was passed over to a different member of staff who was trained to deal with my order. The process was explained to me, and they had me read their allergen statement. I was told that my meal would be prepared by a different chef in a separate kitchen area with separate equipment, and when my order came out it had a little red flag in it marking it as a gluten free meal. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, all very friendly, the service was excellent, and the food delicious. I have eaten here twice now, and have had no issues with gluten contamination. And the gluten gluten free menu is huge! It's as big as the standard menu, absolutely huge amount dishes to choose from.

Great choice of GF meals, I asked if chips were safe to eat and was assured there was no cross contamination. I had a burger with chips, and I’d say it was ok. My meal was marked GF and I felt safe. I had no reaction.

Toen we binnen kwamen kregen we gelijk de vraag of we allergenen hadden, ook kregen we gelijk het glutenvrije menu en dat had super veel opties zoals je kan zien. Het was erg lekker eten en ze hadden ook veel opties voor vegan:)
