Salt Spring Wild Cider House

What a beautiful setting looking over the apple orchard from the outside heated and coved deck. The menu is limited but solid GF options and fries from a dedicated frier.

They have a separate GF fryer. Employee was well informed of limitations and I was comfortable ordering with confidence, even when it came to drinks. There is naturally extra charge for GF bread.

Good food! Had the mussels and Laos sausage with a side of homemade kettle chips instead of the bread. They have a GF dedicated fryer. Service could have been a lot better.

Gluten free by default was the message I received here! Fryers were gf, most food items were gf or could be made gf with remove of bread item. We had the Moroccan chickpea salad and calamari. Awesome!! 2/3 of us are celiac and we had zero issues

Overall - great ciders and place, but food unsafe for those with celiac disease. Only safe for someone without issues with cross contamination. Lots of GF options, but no measures to prevent cross contact / cross contamination. We asked if they could do the cheese plate celiac safe (after explaining what was needed - e.g., cleaned knives, separate board for cutting, etc), and because everything is pre-prepped they didn’t feel it would be safe. Same went for the other items on the menu - the chef said they didn’t feel like they’d be able to make a safe meal for someone with celiac. I appreciated the honesty of the kitchen!

All that said, the ciders were very tasty, vibe is great, and you can bring your dog when sitting on the patio or at the picnic tables outside! Still recommend going as it was a great spot, just not to eat at for me.

Cider and a cheese plate with GF crackers. So delish, and a wonderful array of pairings. I come back every year.

Everything on the menu is gluten free! Wide range of interesting ciders which were great. We also had the Lamb Sausages and Cheesy Polenta and both were delicious.
