Review of Cafe 21

Trinity St, Colchester CO1 1JN, UK

Overall Rating

Review


Do not trust the gluten free labelling! I chose the beef chilli (labelled gf) and told my waitress I was coeliac - she then came back and told me that the beef chilli contained barley (and is therefore not gluten free). I asked to see the allergen information - 3 out of 5 of the ‘gluten free main meals’ actually contained gluten according to the allergen information and are therefore not safe. They did offer gluten free bread but I wasn’t confident about cross contamination, so ended up with a jacket potato. Very disappointed :(
